ANTIMONY PENTAFLUORIDE

It is used in the fluorination of organic compounds and as a catalyst (EPA, 1985; Sax & Lewis, 1989; Sax & Lewis, 1987) AAR, 1987; (Budavari, 1989; CHRIS , 1993) HSDB, 1993).

FORMS

Antimony pentafluoride is an oily, moderately viscous, colorless, water soluble, very reactive nonflammable liquid with a sharp or pungent odor.
It reacts violently with water, releasing HYDROGEN FLUORIDE and other substances with release of heat (AAR, 1987; (Budavari, 1989; CHRIS , 1993) HSDB, 1993).
Antimony pentafluoride is a pentavalent antimony compound which may be less toxic than trivalent antimony compounds (HSDB, 1993).

SOURCES

The more critical component for occupational medical monitoring is ANTIMONY. With an atomic weight of 121.76, compared with 19 for fluorine, 0.5 mg/m(3) of antimony from antimony pentafluoride would be associated with only 0.39 mg/m(3) of fluoride. NIOSH has published a Criteria Document for fluorides (NIOSH, 1975).

-CLINICAL EFFECTS

GENERAL CLINICAL EFFECTS

Antimony pentafluoride is an oily, moderately viscous, colorless, water soluble, very reactive nonflammable liquid with a sharp or pungent odor used in the fluorination of organic compounds and as a catalyst. It reacts violently with water, releasing HYDROGEN FLUORIDE and other substances with release of heat.

Inhalation and dermal exposure to antimony pentafluoride has caused cough, wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, pulmonary edema, and severe skin burns.
Antimony poisoning resembles arsenic poisoning; in ingestions, antimony may cause more severe vomiting. In ingestions, violent vomiting, diarrhea, mucosal irritation, and sloughing of mucosal cells may be seen from the antimony component. Death is due to hypovolemia and shock from the corrosive effects and hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and hyperkalemia and associated cardiac effects.
Exposure to antimony salts may result in irritation of skin and mucous membranes.

Antimony pentafluoride causes corrosive burns or irritation of the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. If ingested, vomiting and severe burns of the oral cavity and throat may occur; bloody diarrhea may develop. Systemic absorption by any route can lead to bradycardia, hypotension, coma, seizures, and cardiac arrest.

Myocardial injury with decreased contractility and electrical activity and higher excitability, jaundice, dyspnea, weight loss, alopecia, albuminuria, glomerular nephritis, splenic hyperplasia, elevated erythrocyte counts, and decreased leukocyte counts may be seen with chronic antimony exposure.
Chronic inhalation exposure can lead to interstitial pneumonitis, lipoid deposits in the pulmonary alveoli, and cardiac and liver damage. Dermatitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis, and nasal septum perforation may occur with chronic exposure to antimony dusts.

Antimony pentafluoride releases toxic and irritating fumes of fluoride and antimony when heated to decomposition. It reacts violently with water, releasing HYDROGEN FLUORIDE and other substances with release of heat.

Users may REFER to the HYDROGEN FLUORIDE and ANTIMONY managements for MORE INFORMATION.

HYDROGEN FLUORIDE TOXICITY -

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is corrosive to skin and mucous membranes. Exposure can result in pneumonitis, eye damage, GI erosion, and severe burns. The severity and rapidity of onset of signs and symptoms depends on the concentration of the acid, duration of exposure and penetrability of the exposed tissue. The pain from burns may be delayed so that the patient does not know he has been burned until some hours later.
Dermal exposure to solutions containing greater than 50 percent HF produces immediate burning, erythema and tissue damage whereas exposure to 20 to 50 percent HF results in pain and erythema which may be delayed up to 1 to 8 hours. Exposure to solutions containing less than 20 percent HF results in erythema and pain delayed up to 24 hours after exposure.

Systemic fluoride toxicity may result from ingestion, inhalation or extensive dermal burns and cause hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hyperkalemia, pulmonary edema, metabolic acidosis, and death.

POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 157 (ERG, 2004)

TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause severe injury, burns, or death.
Reaction with water or moist air will release toxic, corrosive or flammable gases.
Reaction with water may generate much heat which will increase the concentration of fumes in the air.
Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

ACUTE CLINICAL EFFECTS

Antimony pentafluoride can be absorbed following ingestion, inhalation, or dermal contact (EPA, 1985).

Antimony pentafluoride causes corrosive burns or irritation of the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes (EPA, 1985; Sax & Lewis, 1989; Sax & Lewis, 1987) AAR, 1987; (Budavari, 1989; CHRIS , 1993) HSDB, 1993). If ingested, vomiting and severe burns of the oral cavity and throat may occur; bloody diarrhea may develop (EPA, 1985; CHRIS , 1990) HSDB, 1993). Systemic absorption by any route can lead to bradycardia (slow heart beat), hypotension (low blood pressure), coma, seizures, renal failure, and cardiac arrest (EPA, 1985; CHRIS , 1993) HSDB, 1993; (Anon, 1991).

Death from acute exposure is usually from respiratory depression (HSDB, 1993).

CHRONIC CLINICAL EFFECTS

Chronic occupational exposure to antimony compounds has caused spots on the skin, especially on the forearms, thighs, and areas in contact with tight clothing. This rash consists of papules around sweat and sebaceous glands. It may progress to vesicles and pustules (Clayton & Clayton, 1981; Finkel, 1983).

Chronic exposure to antimony compounds can lead to myocardial injury with decreased contractility and electrical activity, and increased excitability, as well as jaundice, dyspnea, weight loss, alopecia, albuminuria, glomerular nephritis, splenic hyperplasia, elevated erythrocyte counts, and decreased leukocyte counts (HSDB, 1993).

Nasal perforation has been reported with chronic inhalation exposure to antimony compounds (McCallum, 1989). Chronic inhalation exposure may lead to lipoid deposits in the lungs and interstitial pneumonitis (HSDB, 1993).

-FIRST AID

FIRST AID AND PREHOSPITAL TREATMENT

PREHOSPITAL: For DERMAL exposure, remove clothing and irrigate skin thoroughly with water. Remove from INHALATION source and administer oxygen. Irrigate EYES with copious saline or water. For INGESTION, immediately give a substance containing calcium (milk, calcium carbonate antacids) or magnesium (magnesium containing antacids or laxatives). No activated charcoal. Do NOT induce emesis.

-MEDICAL TREATMENT

LIFE SUPPORT

Support respiratory and cardiovascular function.

SUMMARY

FIRST AID - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 157 (ERG, 2004)

Move victim to fresh air.
Call 911 or emergency medical service.
Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.
Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes.
In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes.
For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin.
Keep victim warm and quiet.
Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.

FIRST AID

DERMAL EXPOSURE - Prompt decontamination of the affected area is of primary importance. Specific treatment is controversial, with no single type of therapy clearly superior. Topical calcium gluconate gel or magnesium oxide paste has been successful. Local calcium gluconate infiltration may be considered in some cases. Significant systemic absorption from dermal exposure may cause symptomatic hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, and hypomagnesemia which will require aggressive treatment.
ORAL EXPOSURE - Do NOT induce vomiting. Administer fluoride-binding substance (options include milk, chewable calcium carbonate tablets, milk of magnesia). Consider nasogastric or soft orogastric suction and lavage with 10% calcium gluconate if large and recent ingestion, and spontaneous emesis has not occurred. Monitor and treat hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hyperkalemia parenterally as needed.
EYE EXPOSURE - Irrigate promptly with crystalloid solution (lactated ringer's or normal saline) for at least 30 minutes. Carefully evaluate for eye damage. The patient should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist following appropriate decontamination.
INHALATION EXPOSURE - Move the patient to fresh air and administer 100% humidified supplemental oxygen with assisted ventilation as required. Monitor for respiratory signs and symptoms and treat symptomatically. Nebulized calcium gluconate has been used in the treatment of HF inhalation exposure. However, its clinical efficacy is uncertain (NIOSH , 1998).

-RANGE OF TOXICITY

MINIMUM LETHAL EXPOSURE

GENERAL/SUMMARY

An estimated lethal oral dose of antimony pentafluoride is between 5 and 50 milligrams/kilogram (EPA, 1985; Sittig, 1991).
RATS - chronically given 5 ppm of antimony in the drinking water exhibited decreased longevity; this dose corresponded to 350 mcg/kg/day (HSDB , 1990). When administered intratracheally to rats, antimony pentafluoride caused death at all doses greater than 1.5 mg (Clayton & Clayton, 1981).
RATS - given 0.5 - 500 ppm of antimony potassium tartrate in water for 13 weeks demonstrated various biochemical and histopathological changes at doses of 5.0 ppm and above. A NOEL of 0.5 ppm corresponded to an average dose of 60 mcg/kg/day (Poon et al, 1998).

CASE REPORTS

As the acute toxicity of antimony pentafluoride is largely due to released hydrofluoric acid, the following data may assist in estimating severity.

ORAL INGESTION -

Death has occurred after ingestion of 1.5 grams of hydrofluoric acid (Gosselin et al, 1984; HSDB , 1990) (concentration unknown) within 6.5 hours of ingestion. Postmortem findings in this case revealed no gross tissue damage and a liver fluoride level of 165 micrograms/100 gram (Curry, 1962).
Oral ingestion of an unknown rust remover resulted in death within 90 minutes. The calcium level upon arrival to the emergency department was 3.1 milligrams/deciliter with a plasma fluoride of 35.2 milligrams/liter. Postmortem findings included hemorrhagic pulmonary edema and gastritis without ulceration (Manoguerra & Neuman, 1986).
A 33-year-old man who ingested 3 to 4 ounces of a rust remover (unstated HF concentration) died within 45 to 60 minutes. At autopsy, severe mucosal edema of the stomach and hemorrhage and necrosis of the pancreas were noted. The postmortem blood fluoride level was 56.2 milligrams/liter (Menchel & Dunn, 1984).
Oral ingestion of 15 milliliters of a 9 percent solution was reported to cause death (Webster, 1930).

DERMAL EXPOSURE -

An adult patient who developed 25 percent total body surface area second degree burns after exposure to a 70 percent hydrofluoric acid preparation died in cardiac arrest. Ionized serum calcium level was 1.7 milligrams per deciliter (normal: 4 to 4.8) immediately premortem (El Saadi et al, 1989).
Two workers died following a splash exposure of 70 percent hydrofluoric acid while unloading a tanker. Both workers were promptly removed from site of exposure. Clothing was removed and burns were initially treated at the workplace with a cold shower and alcohol was applied to burn areas (Chan et al, 1987).
A dermal exposure to 70 percent hydrofluoric acid over a 2.5 percent total body surface area resulted in death. The serum calcium level was 2.2 milligrams/deciliter (Tepperman, 1980).
A patient with hydrofluoric acid burns involving 8 percent of his body died from intractable cardiac arrhythmia secondary to the depletion of ionized calcium by fluoride ion (Mullett et al, 1987).

MAXIMUM TOLERATED EXPOSURE

CONCENTRATION LEVEL

Hydrogen fluoride gas is potentially corrosive to the skin at 20 ppm. It is an irritant and can be tolerated for only 1 minute at a concentration of 120 ppm (Thienes & Haley, 1972; HSDB , 1990) and 122 ppm (CHEMINFO , 1990).
Dermal exposure to solutions containing greater than 50 percent hydrofluoric acid produces immediate burning, erythema and tissue damage whereas exposure to 20 to 50 percent hydrofluoric acid results in pain and erythema which may be delayed up to 1 to 8 hours. Exposure to solutions containing less than 20 percent hydrofluoric acid results in erythema and pain delayed up to 24 hours after exposure (Iverson et al, 1971; Dibbell et al, 1970).
Velvart (1983) reported that 7 percent hydrofluoric acid produced symptoms in 1 to several hours, 12 percent acid produced symptoms in under an hour, and 14.5 percent solutions produced symptoms immediately.
Two children who developed 3 to 4 percent and 8 to 10 percent total body surface area first degree burns after exposure to a 6 to 11 percent hydrofluoric acid preparation had serial serum calcium levels and cardiac monitoring which remained normal. No systemic toxicity developed from this exposure (El Saadi et al, 1989).
Inhalation exposure to hydrogen fluoride at 122 parts per million for 1 minute can cause severe irritation of nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Exposures at 50 parts per million and above for several minutes may be fatal (CHEMINFO , 1990).
Rhinitis and nose bleeds were seen in smelter workers exposed to antimony in concentrations of 4.7 to 11.8 milligrams/cubic meter (Renes, 1953).
Workers exposed to air having about 3 milligrams of antimony per cubic meter showed urinary values ranging from 0.8 to 9.6 milligrams/liter (Friberg, 1979).

WORKPLACE AIR - Concentrations of antimony in the air have ranged from 1 to 10 milligrams/cubic meter. Working zone concentrations have ranged from 4.7 to 10.2 milligrams/cubic meter in smelters (Friberg, 1979).
Antimony ore frequently contains arsenic as an impurity, thus complicating the issue.

- ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
- All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.
- Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
- Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
- A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
- DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.
- Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material.
- Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE CLOTHING - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 157 (ERG, 2004)
- Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
- Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection.
- Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible.
