Methyl chloride appears as a colorless gas with a faint sweet odor. Shipped as a liquid under its vapor pressure. A leak may either be liquid or vapor. Contact with the liquid may cause frostbite by evaporative cooling. Easily ignited. Vapors heavier than air. Can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Used to make other chemicals and as a herbicide.
The aim of the present study was to investigate how the genetic polymorphism in glutathione transferase T1 (GSTT1) affects the metabolism and disposition of methyl chloride in humans in vivo. The 24 volunteers (13 males and 11 females) who participated in the study were recruited from a group of 208 individuals previously phenotyped for GSTT1 by measuring the glutathione transferase activity with methyl chloride in lysed erythrocytes ex vivo. Eight individuals with high (+/+), eight with medium (+/0) and eight with no (0/0) GSTT1 activity were exposed to methyl chloride gas (10 ppm) in an exposure chamber for 2 hr. Uptake and disposition was studied by measuring the concentration of methyl chloride in inhaled air, exhaled air and blood. A two-compartment model with two elimination pathways corresponding to exhalation and metabolism was fitted to experimental data. The average net respiratory uptake of methyl chloride was 243, 158, and 44 umol in individuals with high, intermediate and no GSTT1 activity, respectively. Metabolic clearance was high (4.6 L/min) in the +/+ group, intermediate (2.4 L/min) in the +/0 group, and close to zero in 0/0 individuals, while the exhalation clearance was similar in the three groups. No exposure related increase in urinary S-methyl cysteine was detected. However, gender and the GSTTl phenotype seemed to affect the background levels. In conclusion, GSTT1 appears to be the sole determinant of methyl chloride metabolism in humans. Thus, individuals with nonfunctional GSTT1 entirely lack the capacity to metabolize methyl chloride.

Hepatic to formaldehyde and carbon dioxide. Elimination: Renal (N-acetyl-S-methylcysteine).
Methyl chloride is metabolized by conjugation with glutathione to yield S-methylglutathione, S-methylcysteine, and other sulfur-containing compounds that are excreted in the urine or further metabolized to methanethiol. Cytochrome P450-dependent metabolism of methanethiol may yield formaldehyde and formic acid, whose carbon atoms are then available to the one-carbon pool for incorporation into macromolecules or for formation of CO2. Alternatively, formaldehyde may be directly produced from chloromethane via a P450 oxidative dechlorination.
The conjugation of chloromethane with glutathione is primarily enzyme-catalyzed. In contrast to all other animal species investigated (rats, mice, bovine, pigs, sheep, and rhesus monkeys), human erythrocytes contain a glutathione transferase isoenzyme that catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione with methyl chloride. There are two distinct human subpopulations based on the amount or forms of this transferase.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Methyl chloride is a colorless compressed gas or liquid. Most methyl chloride is used as an intermediate feedstock in silicone fluids, elastomers, and resins. Methyl chloride has been used in timber products processing, as a blowing agent for some polystyrene foams, and as a refrigerant. It was formerly used as an aerosol propellant. As a pesticide, methyl chloride is not registered for current use in the U.S.; but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: The many symptoms of acute exposure include headache, nausea, irritation of the skin and eyes, central nervous system depression, pulmonary edema, hemolysis, chronic intoxication, paresthesia, narcosis, increased risk of spontaneous abortion, intravascular hemolysis, unconsciousness, rapid followed by slow respiration, painful joints, swelling of the extremities, diabetes, aspiration pneumonia, gross hematuria, reduction of blood pH, gastrointestinal injury, upper respiratory tract irritation, depression, fatigue, vertigo, liver damage, blood dyscrasias, acceleration of the pulse, congestion in the head, neurasthenic disorders, digestive disturbances, acoustical and optical delusions, arrhythmias produced by catecholamines, faintness, loss of appetite, hyporeflexia, gross hemoglobinuria, metabolic acidosis, GI hemorrhage, diverticula, kidney damage, lung damage, corneal injury, abdominal pain, increase in salivary gland tumors, cyanosis, convulsions, coma, and death. Deaths have occurred following single severe or repeated prolonged moderate overexposure. Methyl chloride is poisonous intravenously; moderately toxic by ingestion, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal routes; mildly toxic by inhalation. Most cases of intoxication by methyl chloride have involved concentrations above 500 ppm. After methyl chloride leakage from a refrigerator occurred on board an Icelandic fishing vessel in 1963, many of the crew members were hospitalized due to various neurological symptoms and signs. Follow-up showed increased mortality due to cardiovascular diseases after 47 years. The suicide cases had developed severe depression after the methyl chloride intoxication. Methyl chloride at an atmospheric concentration of 1% (10,000 ppm or 20,700 mg/cu m) was mutagenic to TK6 human lymphoid cells in vitro and caused an increased incidence of sister chromatid exchange and breakage of DNA strands. ANIMAL STUDIES: Exposure of a rabbit's eye to pure methyl chloride gas at room temperature for ninety seconds caused only slight conjunctival hyperemia. CNS depression occurs at 40,000 ppm in rabbits and at 108,600 ppm in cats. Rats and mice were exposed by inhalation to methyl chloride for 6 hr/day for up to 12 days. All male mice exposed to 2000 ppm were dead or moribund by day 2, and all mice in the remaining 2000 ppm groups were moribund by day 5. The principal clinical signs, which were confined to the 5000 and 3500 ppm groups, included severe diarrhea and incoordination of the forelimbs. In rats, lesions observed in tissues examined included vacuolar degeneration of the zona fasciculata of the adrenal glands and degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules and epididymis. Three of four dogs and both of two monkeys died after 4 weeks and 16 weeks, respectively, after exposure to 500 ppm for 6 hr/day, 6 days/wk. Mice and rats of both sexes were exposed at methyl chloride concentrations of 0, 50, 225 or 1000 ppm for 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for 2 years. A statistically significant increase in both malignant and nonmalignant renal tumors occurred in only the male mice exposed at 1000 ppm. In another two-year inhalation study, male and female rats were exposed to 0, 51, 224 or 997 ppm methyl chloride for 6 hr per day, five days per week. No increase in tumor incidence was reported. Birth defects with retarded development have been observed in rodents. Pregnant mice were exposed via inhalation on days 6-18 of gestation. Exposure at 500 or 750 ppm caused a statistically significant increase in the numbers of cardiac malformations. Exposures at concentrations of 250 or 100 ppm were considered nonteratogenic. Offspring of rats exposed similarly to methyl chloride showed no terata. Methyl chloride is mutagenic to bacteria and induces chromosomal aberrations in plants. It induces DNA damage in mammalian cells in vitro but not in vivo. In cultured mammalian cells, it induces mutations and sister chromatid exchanges and enhances viral cell transformation. Reaction of methyl chloride with glutathione appears to constitute a mechanism of toxication, contrary to the role usually proposed for glutathione in detoxifying xenobiotics.
The Human Health Assessment Group in EPA's Office of Health and Environmental Assessment has evaluated methyl chloride for carcinogenicity. According to their analysis, the weight-of-evidence for methyl chloride is group C, which is based on limited evidence in animals. No data are available for humans. As a group C chemical, methyl chloride is considered possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of methyl chloride in humans. There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of methyl chloride in experimental animals. Overall evaluation: Methyl chloride is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are often optimized by adjusting metabolic parameters so as to fit experimental toxicokinetic data. The estimates of the metabolic parameters are then conditional on the assumed values for all other parameters. Meanwhile, the reliability of other parameters, or the structural model, is usually not questioned. Inhalation exposures with human volunteers in our laboratory show that non-conjugators lack metabolic capacity for methyl chloride entirely, and that elimination in these subjects takes place via exhalation only. Therefore, data from these methyl chloride exposures provide an excellent opportunity to assess the general reliability of standard inhalation PBPK models for humans. A hierarchical population PBPK model for methyl chloride was developed. The model was fit to the experimental data in a Bayesian framework using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation. In a Bayesian analysis, it is possible to merge a priori knowledge of the physiological, anatomical and physicochemical parameters with the information embedded in the experimental toxicokinetic data obtained in vivo. The resulting estimates are both statistically and physiologically plausible. Model deviations suggest that a pulmonary sub-compartment may be needed in order to describe the inhalation and exhalation of volatile methyl chloride adequately. The results also indicate that there may be significant intra-individual variability in the model parameters. ...
... Methyl chloride is rapidly absorbed from the lungs and rapidly reaches equilibrium with levels in blood and expired air approximately proportional to the exposure concentrations. At high concentrations, kinetic processes such as metabolism or excretion may become saturated limiting the rate of uptake. Animals studies show that methyl chloride is absorbed from the lungs and extensively distributed throughout the body.
During inhalation exposure to methyl chloride, blood:gas equilibrium is rapidly attained. Respiration and hepatic perfusion appear to be rate-limiting factors of gas uptake at low toxicant concentrations, while capacity of liver to conduct metabolism is rate-limiting at high concentrations.
