Ethyl Chloride Toxicity
CDC recommends that Ethyl Chloride be treated in the workplace with caution because of its structural similarity to the four chloroethanes (ethylene dichloride; hexachloroethane; 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane; and 1,1,2-trichloroethane) shown to be carcinogenic in animals. Click here to learn more.

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the classification provided by companies to ECHA in REACH registrations identifies that Ethyl Chloride may damage fertility or the unborn child and contains gas under pressure and may explode if heated. Click here to learn more.
Ethyl Chloride Occupational Airborne Exposure Limits
OSHA The legal airborne permissible exposure limit (PEL) of Ethyl Chloride is 1,000 ppm averaged over an 8-hour work shift. Click here to learn more.
*OSHA recognizes that many of its permissible exposure limits (PELs) are outdated and inadequate for ensuring protection of worker health. OSHA recommends that employers consider using the alternative occupational exposure limits because the Agency believes that exposures above some of these alternative occupational exposure limits may be hazardous to workers, even when the exposure levels are in compliance with the relevant PELs.
