1,1,1-Trichloroethane is rapidly taken up by humans after inhalation exposure. Experimental data collected in human subjects indicate that absorption of 1,1,1-trichloroethane is nearly complete following a single breath exposure, and that a steady-state lung retention of 25-30% in humans is achieved within 1-3 hours of continuous exposure. Steady-state blood levels are approximately 5-6 times that of alveolar air and increase with increasing air concentration, increasing alveolar ventilation and cardiac output. The percentage uptake of inhaled 1,1,1-trichloroethane decreased rapidly from approximately 95% at the beginning /single breath/ of a four-hour exposure to 30% at the end /steady state/.

The absorption of 1,1,1-trichloroethane by the skin in humans has been shown to be dependent on the duration of exposure and the area of skin exposed. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane vapours are absorbed through exposed skin to some extent, although absorption through the respiratory tract is expected to predominate during whole-body exposure to vapours. A quantitative examination of the relative magnitudes of percutaneous and respiratory absorption indicated that a whole-body exposure to 600 ppm (3280 mg/cu m) 1,1,1- trichloroethane for over 3.5 hours was equivalent to an inhalation exposure of only 0.6 ppm (3.3 mg/cu m) over the same time period.

After cessation of inhalation exposure, 1,1,1-trichloroethane is rapidly eliminated from the blood; 60-80% is eliminated within two hours after exposure and more than 95-99% within 50 hours.

Expired air concentrations after topical application of TCE or continuous immersion of the hand for 30 minutes were 0.5 ppm and 10 ppm respectively at 30 minutes post-exposure. In contrast, respiratory exposure for a similar time to levels sufficient to cause only mild symptoms, i.e. 910 ppm, was associated with expired air concentrations of around 35 ppm at 30 minutes post-exposure. The skin is therefore a considerably less significant route of absorption than the lung. ... Peak alveolar levels of 45 ppm /were estimated/ after immersion of both hands in TCE for 30 minutes, similar to peak levels observed after respiratory exposure of the same duration to 100-500 ppm in air. Penetration is less with topical application than after total immersion by a factor of about 20. They concluded that provided the solvent is not confined beneath an impermeable barrier there is little likelihood that toxic amounts will be absorbed during normal industrial use. The vapor itself is not absorbed in significant amounts through the skin.

Trichloroethane is rapidly absorbed through both the lungs and gastrointestinal tract, but cutaneous absorption probably is too slow to produce significant toxicity unless trapped against the skin by an impermeable barrier.

The lungs excrete most of an absorbed dose unchanged. Small amounts are metabolized to trichloroacetic acid and trichloroethanol, which are excreted by the kidney. Chronic accumulation probably does not occur, although repeated exposure induces hepatic p450 mixed-function oxidase enzymes.

Metabolism appears to play a relatively minor role in the overall disposition of absorbed 1,1,1-trichloroethane in humans. Less than 10% of the absorbed dose is metabolized; a large fraction is excreted unchanged in exhaled air, regardless of the route of exposure. The major metabolites of 1,1,1-trichloroethane are water-soluble trichloroethanol and its glucuronide conjugate, trichloroacetic acid and carbon dioxide. The total amount of trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid excreted in urine accounts for 77% of the predicted amount of metabolized 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Excretion of trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid in urine is slow in relation to exhalation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane and these metabolites may accumulate with repeated exposure.

Metabolism following oral exposure is similar to metabolism following inhalation exposure. ... Approximately 3% of a dose ingested in drinking water by rats was metabolized and excreted as CO2 in expired air or as metabolites in urine. Mice metabolized 1,1,1-trichloroethane more extensively than rats. This is consistent with the metabolic differences between rats and mice following inhalation exposure, ... .

The data on 1,1,1-trichloroethane metabolism by animals are consistent with the human data. Approximately 90% of the inhaled dose is excreted unchanged in expired air, while the remainder is eliminated as CO2 in expired air and as trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid in the urine. A similar pattern of metabolism and subsequent excretion occurred in acutely and chronically exposed mice; the majority of 1,1,1-trichloroethane was excreted unchanged in the expired air and a small percentage was metabolized.

Metabolism has been shown to be saturable in animals over a range of exposure levels of 150-1500 ppm (820-8200 mg/cu m); thus, as the exposure level and absorbed dose increase, metabolism will contribute less to overall elimination of 1,1,1-trichloroethane.

The mechanism by which acute exposures to high concentrations of 1,1,1-trichloroethane depress the central nervous system is thought to involve interactions of the parent compound with lipids and/or proteins in neural membranes that lead to dysfunction. In general, the highly lipophilic nature of chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane, allows them to cross the blood-brain barrier readily and partition into lipids in neuronal membranes. This property allows them to interfere with neural membrane function, bringing about central nervous system depression, behavioral changes, and anesthesia.
