4.First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
In case of skin contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
In case of eye contact
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
If swallowed
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation causes headache, dizziness, weak pulse. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach; headache, dizziness, weak pulse. Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and burning. Contact with skin causes irritation and burn; if absorbed, causes same symptoms as inhalation. (USCG, 1999)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
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. /Phenols and related compounds/

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
BCFs of 6.0 to 18 for a test concn of 40 ppb and BCFs of 11 to 52 for test concn of 4 ppb was determined for 4-chlorophenol in carp and 42 days exposure(1). The BCF of 4-chlorophenol in goldfish ranged from 10 to 15(2,3). According to a classification scheme(4), these BCF's suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Experimentally determined Kocs in various soil conditions range from 70 to 485.6(1,3,6). The Koc in clay loam soil was determined to be 71(1). A Koc of 70 was reported for 4-chlorophenol in Brookston clay loam soil(3). Adsorption of 4-chlorophenol to the organo-clay Bentone 24 has been shown to be pH sensitive; it was 48.5% adsorbed by Bentone 24 in aqueous solution at pH 8.0 and 7.7% adsorbed by Bentone 18C at pH 7.7(4). 4-Chlorophenol did not appear to be sorbed in an experiment in a sandy aquifer(5). A Koc of 485.6 was reported in a European silt loam soil(6). According to a classification scheme(2), Koc values of zero to 50 are very highly mobile, 50 to 150 are highly mobile, and 150 to 500 are moderately mobile.
