10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame ...The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.ALLYL CHLORIDE presents a serious fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat, flame or oxidizing agents. Polymerizes violently and exothermically with Lewis acids (aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride, sulfuric acid) or metals (aluminum, magnesium, zinc, or galvanized metal) [MCA SD-99, 1973]. Incompatible with acids (nitric acid, chlorosulfonic acid, oleum), with strong bases (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide), with ethyleneimine and ethylenediamine [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 36]. Attempts to alkylate benzene or toluene using allyl chloride in the presence of ethylaluminum chlorides have led to explosions.

12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 Lepomis macrochirus (Bluegill) 59.3 mg/L/24 hr (95% confidence interval: 50.87-70.34 mg/L); static /formulated product
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: LC50 Daphnia magna (Waterflea) 250 mg/L/24 hr; static /formulated product
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Allyl chloride, present at 100 mg/L, reached 62% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(1). In a standard biodegradability test using a sewage seed, 14 and 25% of the theoretical BOD was achieved in 5 days using nonacclimated and acclimated seed, respectively(2). In a test using activated sludge, allyl chloride was readily biodegradable(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values of <0.14 and <1.3 when exposed to concns of 0.5 and 0.05 ppm, respectively, were measured for allyl chloride(SRC), using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of allyl chloride is estimated as 51(SRC), using a water solubility of 3,370 mg/L(1) and a regression derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that allyl chloride is expected to have high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects

13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
