Difluoromethane appears as a colorless odorless gas. Insoluble in water and has a high thermal stability. Its vapors are heavier than air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Contact with the unconfined liquid can cause frostbite. Used as a refrigerant.

Difluoromethane (HFC32) is under development as a replacement for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in some refrigeration applications. It has been evaluated by standard studies of toxicity, developmental toxicity, and genotoxicity. In addition, the metabolism and disposition of HFC32 was investigated and a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PB-PK) model constructed /using rats and rabbits/. ... The pharmacokinetics of [(14)C]difluoromethane (10,000 to 50,000 ppm/6 hr) revealed that about 2.1% of the inhaled HFC32 was absorbed and that steady state blood levels were achieved within 2 hr and were proportional to dose. Carbon dioxide was the major metabolite of HFC32 at all exposure levels. Carbon monoxide was not detected. The in vivo data were used to validate a PB-PK model to describe the uptake and metabolism of HFC32. Absorption and distribution are adequately described using rat blood:air and tissue:air partition coefficients. Metabolism, which was linear across the dose range, was described by a first order rate constant (Kf = 8.98 hr-1). Of the absorbed HFC32, about 63% was metabolized at all doses; however, when metabolism was expressed as a percentage of the inhaled dose it was much lower, being about 1.4% of the HFC32 entering the airways. ... /rat, rabbit/
Difluoromethane (HFC32) is under development as a replacement for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in some refrigeration applications. The metabolism and disposition of [(14)C]-difluoromethane ([(14)C]-HFC32) was determined in male Swiss mice as a consequence of a single 6 hr inhalation exposure to atmospheres of 10 000 ppm. Of the inhaled dose, about 1-2% was recovered in expired air, urine, feces and carcass suggesting that systemic absorption of this hydrofluorocarbon from the alveolar air space of the lung into blood is poor. Upon cessation of exposure the majority of the systemically absorbed HFC32 was exhaled within 1 hr. Carbon dioxide was a major metabolite of HFC32. Carbon dioxide measured post-exposure accounted for about 0.3% of the inhaled dose. Urinary and fecal excretion of non-volatile metabolites accounted for about 0.34% and 0.07% of the inhaled dose, respectively. Carbon monoxide could not be detected. Total metabolism, measured as the sum of the radioactivity recovered in urine, feces, as carbon dioxide and that retained in the carcass, amounted to about 0.8% of the inhaled dose, equivalent to 64% of the total radioactivity recovered. Analysis of a range of tissues at 4 days post-exposure showed a relatively uniform distribution of radioactivity with the highest concentration in the lung, liver and kidney. There was no evidence of a specific retention in any organ or tissue.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Difluoromethane (HFC32) is a colorless gas. It is used in refrigeration, organic synthesis, and as a tracer gas in gas chromatography and photoacoustic spectroscopy. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: There are no data available. ANIMAL STUDIES: Inhalation of HFC32 (up to 50,000 ppm) caused no organ-specific effects. HFC32 did not sensitize the heart to adrenaline. HFC32 is slightly maternally and developmentally toxic at 50,000 ppm in rats, but not in rabbits. No evidence of teratogenicity was noted in rats or rabbits.

First aid responses: Move victim to fresh air; call emergency medical care. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. In case of frostbite, thaw frozen parts with water. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperatures.
/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFCs) and related compounds/

activation of CCl bonds of hydrochlorofluoromethanes and chloromethanes at moderate reaction conditions using ACF in a combination with Et3GeH is presented. The reactions of the chloromethanes (CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and CCl4) in the presence of Et3GeH and ACF as catalyst led to the activation of only one CCl bond resulting in the hydrodechlorination. Friedel-Crafts reactions with benzene as solvent are suppressed
