  NTP: Abstract for TR-106 Trichlorofluoromethane
Trichlorofluoromethane, a widely used halocarbon aerosol propellant and refrigerant, was selected for bioassay by the National Cancer Institute because of widespread exposure to this compound resulting from the indiscriminate use of aerosol sprays, and the well-documented hepatocarcinogenicity of the structurally analogous compound, carbon tetrachloride.
Trichlorofluoromethane in corn oil was administered by gavage, at either of two dosages, to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species, 5 days per week, over a period of 78 weeks.
The time-weighted average high and low dosages of trichlorofluoromethane in the chronic bioassay were, respectively, 977 and 488 mg/kg/day for male rats, 1,077 and 538 mg/kg/day for female rats, and 3,925 and 1,962 mg/kg/day for mice of both sexes.

 Trichlorofluoromethane. TOXNET profile from Hazardous Substances Data Base.
Trichlorofluoromethane was released as emissions or in wastewater during its production, storage, transport and use as a foaming agent for polyurethane foams, degreaser and solvent, especially in the aerospace and electronics industries, and as a fire extinguishing agent(1-3).
Trichlorofluoromethane is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups(7), however the rate is greatly affected by the presence of metals such as steel which act as catalysts(8).
The Koc of trichlorofluoromethane is estimated as 97(SRC), using a water solubility of 1,100 mg/l at 20 deg C(1) and a regression-derived equation(2).

 Trichlorofluoromethane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trichlorofluoromethane, also called freon-11, CFC-11, or R-11, is chlorofluorocarbon.
Because of the high chlorine content and the ease with which the chlorine atoms can be displaced when the molecule is subject to ultraviolet light, R-11 has the highest ozone depletion potential (1.0) of any refrigerant.
Trichlorofluoromethane is used as a reference compound for fluorine-19 NMR studies.

 ChemAlliance Case Study: Activated Charcoal Adsorption Reduces Air Emissions from Polyurethane Foam Manufacturer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
During the production of polyurethane block soft foam, trichlorofluoromethane and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) are generated in the exhaust air and need to be controlled prior release to the environment.
Activated charcoal is used for removing trichlorofluoromethane and TDI which are emitted with the exhaust air during the conventional production process.
The trichlorofluoromethane, however, is recovered through regeneration of the charcoal bed with hot steam.

High levels of trichlorofluoromethane (a refrigerant, R-11), were observed in the samples from the roof at 140 Broadway.
The field forms for the morning samples for 140 Broadway (roof and street level) were accidentally switched so the laboratory report forms misidentified the roof and street level samples at this location.
Because the trichlorofluoromethane and methylene chloride were on the roof top and people are not being directly exposed to them, they are not discussed in the health implications section.

Trichlorofluoromethane remains unregulated in tap water, without a maximum legal limit.
Because Trichlorofluoromethane is unregulated in tap water, no violations are recorded in EPA's violations database, the Safe Drinking Water Information System.
Under the federal tap water law, water suppliers are not required to routinely test for Trichlorofluoromethane, and any level is legal in tap water.

These halogenated hydrocarbons, notably trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11, or F-11) and dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12, or F-12) Freon A (trademark), any of several chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that are used in commerce and industry.
These halogenated hydrocarbons, notably trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11, or F-11) and dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12, or F-12), have been used extensively as aerosol-spray propellants, refrigerants, solvents, and foam-blowing agents.
They are well-suited for these and other applications because they are nontoxic and nonflammable and can be readily converted from a liquid to a gas and vice versa.

These aerosol propellant agents are well known and are referred to in the present invention as a fluorohydrocarbon aerosol propellant agent.
These propellant agents are principally fluoronated derivatives of methane or ethane and the propellants most often utilized are dichlorodifluoromethane (Freon 12), trichlorofluoromethane (Freon 11), and dichlorotetrafluoroethane (Freon 114).
In practice, there is generally used either a mixture of Freon 11 and 12 or a mixture of Freon 12 and 114.

A Fatal Case of Trichlorofluoromethane (Freon 11) Poisoning.
Nevertheless the aspecific picture of the anatomo-pathological and histological findings does not exclude that the described accidental fatality may have been caused by the combination of direct freon toxicity with hypoxemic asphyxiation, due to the saturation of the atmosphere by FC11 in the closed environment in which the intoxication occurred.

0120 Trichlorofluoromethane; CASRN 75-69-4 Health assessment information on a chemical substance is included in IRIS only after a comprehensive review of chronic toxicity data by U.S. EPA health scientists from several Program Offices and the Office of Research and Development.
Substance Name -- Trichlorofluoromethane CASRN -- 75-69-4 Last Revised -- 08/01/1992 The oral Reference Dose (RfD) is based on the assumption that thresholds exist for certain toxic effects such as cellular necrosis.
In general, the RfD is an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a daily exposure to the human population (including sensitive subgroups) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime.

 EPA: Federal Register: Inert ingredients; Revocation of Pesticide Tolerance Exemptions for Three CFC Chemicals
In this final rule, EPA is revoking five tolerance exemptions for residues of dichlorodifluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, and trichlorofluoromethane because these specific tolerance exemptions correspond to uses no longer current or registered under FIFRA in the United States.
The tolerance exemptions revoked by this final rule are no longer necessary to cover residues of the relevant pesticide chemicals in or on domestically treated commodities or commodities treated outside but imported into the United States.
Therefore, for the reasons stated herein and in the proposed rule, EPA is revoking the exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.910 for residues of dichlorodifluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, and trichlorofluoromethane, and in 40 CFR 180.930 for residues of dichlorodifluoromethane and trichlorofluoromethane.
