/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.

12.Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Pimephales promelas (Fathead minnow); Conditions: static; Concentration: 216.1 mg/L/96 hr
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea); Conditions: freshwater, renewal, 25°C, pH >7.0; Concentration: 65000 ug/L for 24 hr; Effect: behavior, equilibrium /formulation
- Toxicity to algae: EC50; Species: Scenedesmus subspicatus (algae); Conditions: OECD Guideline 201; Concentration: 48.6 mg/L/72 hr; Endpoint: growth rate
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 2-Nitroanisole is considered non-biodegradable(1). o-Nitroanisole, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(2). Greater than 64 days were required to degrade 2-nitroanisole by a soil microflora inoculum from a Niagara silt loam in a mineral salts medium(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Measured BCF ranges of 1.4-2.3 and 2.7-5.2 at test chemical concentrations of 50 and 5 ppb, respectively, were reported in fish for 2-nitroanisole using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 8-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of 2-nitroanisole is estimated as 140(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.73(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-nitroanisole is expected to have high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
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.
