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. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention .
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include irritation, burns and corrosion of the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. It may also cause restlessness, increase in rate of respiration, motor weakness, tremors, clonic convulsions, dyspnea, coma and death. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride gas. This compound may be corrosive.
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/
5.Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam extinguishers. Vapors are heavier than air and well collect in low areas. ...Vapors in confined areas may explode when exposed to fire. Containers may explode in fire. Storage containers and parts of containers may rocket great distances, in many directions. ...From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors, or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position. /Monochlorophenols/
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
This chemical is probably combustible.
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters

6.Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Phenolic cmpd in wastewater are oxidized with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by iron(3+)-iron(2+). When the wt ratio of phenol:hydrogen peroxide is 1:3 and iron 5-100 ppm, more than 95% of the phenols are removed in 30 min from a 500 ppm phenol soln at pH 5-6 and 25-50°C. /Phenolic cmpd/
7.Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Separated from strong oxidants and food and feedstuffs. Well closed.Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well ventilated area. Metal containers involving the transfer of this chemical should be grounded and bonded. Where possible, automatically pump liquid from drums or other storage containers to precess containers. Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of this chemical. Sources of ignition such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where this chemical is used, handled, or stored in a manner that could create a potential fire or explosion hazard. /Monochlorophenols/

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Biological degradation of chlorophenols in activated sludge ... 3-chlorophenol was found at a level of 100 mg/L, and was completetly degraded in three days with 100% ring degradation.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Carp exposed to 40 ug/L of 3-chlorophenol for a period of 6 weeks had BCF values in the range of 5.1-10 and carp exposed to 4 ug/L of 3-chlorophenol for a period of 6 weeks had BCF values in the range of 7.0-16(1). A BCF value of 20.0 (logBCF = 1.30) for 3-chlorophenol was reported(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest that the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of 3-chlorophenol in soil was reported as 350(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that 3-chlorophenol is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of 3-chlorophenol is 9.12(3), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Chlorophenols can be irreversibly immobilized by covalent bonding to soil organic matter (SOM). Irreversible binding increased with the addition of hydrogen peroxide and under anoxic conditions(5).
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.
