1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134) is a colorless gas used as a foam expansion agent and heat transfer fluid. HFC-134 has a low acute inhalation toxicity with an LC50 of >244,000 ppm. The no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) and lowest-observed adverse effect level for cardiac sensitization (in epinephrine-challenged beagle dogs) were 75,000 and 100,000 ppm, respectively. A subacute 4-week GLP inhalation toxicity study exposed male and female Crl: CD®BR rats (10/sex) to 0, 2000, 10,000, or 50,000 ppm via whole-body inhalation. Transient and non-dose-response–related body weight changes were observed throughout the exposure period, but no statistically significant, test substance-related adverse effects were observed in any clinical observations, chemistry, hematology, or pathology. This study identified a NOAEL for HFC-134 of 50,000 ppm, the highest exposure level tested. HFC-134 is not genotoxic in in vitro studies; however, no in vivo studies are available. No developmental or maternal toxicity was found in female rats exposed to HFC-134 up to 50,000 ppm via whole-body inhalation in two different studies. Based on data for a similar material (HFC-134a), HFC-134 is not expected to be extensively metabolized or to cause genetic toxicity or carcinogenicity. The HFC-134 workplace environmental exposure level (WEEL) is based primarily on the subacute 4-week inhalation toxicity study in rats with the NOAEL of 50,000 ppm selected as the point of departure for the derivation of the 8-h TWA, health-based WEEL value. The developmental toxicity study also had a NOAEL of 50,000 ppm and was the highest exposure level tested. The subacute inhalation NOAEL was adjusted to account for interindividual variability, subacute to chronic duration, animal to human extrapolation, daily duration of exposure, and residual uncertainty. In addition, the lack of adverse effects noted in the toxicology studies for HFC-134a was considered. The resulting 8-h TWA WEEL value of 1000 ppm is expected to provide a significant margin of safety against the production of any potential adverse health effects in workers following long-term inhalation exposure to HFC-134.

Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are complex formulations designed for effective lubricating, cooling, and cleaning tools and parts during machining operations. Adverse health effects such as respiratory symptoms, dermatitis, and cancer have been reported in workers exposed to MWFs. Several constituents of MWFs have been implicated in toxicity and have been removed from the formulations over the years. However, animal studies with newer MWFs demonstrate that they continue to pose a health risk. This investigation examines the hypothesis that unrecognized health hazards exist in currently marketed MWF formulations that are presumed to be safe based on hazard assessments of individual ingredients. In vivo 13-week inhalation studies were designed to characterize and compare the potential toxicity of four MWFs: Trim VX, Cimstar 3800, Trim SC210, and Syntilo 1023. Male and female Wistar Han rats or Fischer 344N/Tac rats and B6C3F1/N mice were exposed to MWFs via whole-body inhalation at concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, or 400 mg/m3 for 13 weeks, after which, survival, body and organ weights, hematology and clinical chemistry, histopathology, and genotoxicity were assessed following exposure. Although high concentrations were used, survival was not affected and toxicity was primarily within the respiratory tract of male and female rats and mice. Minor variances in toxicity were attributed to differences among species as well as in the chemical components of each MWF. Pulmonary fibrosis was present only in rats and mice exposed to Trim VX. These data confirm that newer MWFs have the potential to cause respiratory toxicity in workers who are repeatedly exposed via inhalation.
