Precautions
TFA will cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and other exposed tissues because of its strong acidity and fast tissue penetration. Special precautions and protective clothing, including rubber gloves and face masks, should be worn when handling it. The best treatment for spills on the skin is immediate and continuous flooding with water on the affected area.
TFA does not exhibit poisoning due to fluoride ion or any toxicity resembling that of monofluoroacetic acid.
