4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Prolonged contact can cause damage to the eyes, severe irritation and burns. Exposure to this class of compounds may cause profuse sweating, intense thirst, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cyanosis from methemoglobinemia, hyperactivity, stupor, blood pressure fall, hyperpnea, hemolysis, convulsions, collapse, coma and pulmonary edema followed by pneumonia. If death from respiratory failure is not immediate, jaundice and oliguria or anuria may occur. Other symptoms of exposure to this class of compounds may include headache, dizziness, rapid and difficult breathing, weakness, severe burns and internal damage. Chronic exposure may result in digestive disturbances, nervous disorders, skin eruptions and liver and kidney damage. Skin contact with this type of compound may result in softening and whitening of the skin, followed by the development of painful burns. Prolonged contact may lead to dermatitis. Local contact may also result in painless blanching or erythema and corrosion of the skin. Skin sensitivity reactions occur occasionally. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. It is an irritant of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract; and prolonged contact may result in severe irritation or burns. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride gas.

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.Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Danio rerio (Zebra danio, length 2.5 cm); Conditions: freshwater, static, 22°C, pH 7.8-8, hardness 150 mg/L CaCO3; Concentration: 1000-3500 ug/L for 24 hr
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
• Toxicity to algae: EC50; Species: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Green algae, age 3 days, exponential growth phase); Conditions: freshwater, static, 23°C, flask bioassay, continuous white light and stirring; Concentration: 1790 ug/L for 72 hr (95% confidence interval: 1660-1920 ug/L); Effect: decreased population growth rate /100% purity
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

BACTERIAL TOXICITY LIMITS DETERMINED BY 5 METHODS AGREED WITH LIMITS FOUND IN DEGRADATION TESTS IN LAB ACTIVATED SLUDGE EQUIPMENT. IN BIODEGRADATION TESTS WITH INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER, BACTERIA BECAME ADAPTED TO 3,5-DICHLOROPHENOL WITHIN A FEW WEEKS.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

A BCF range of 9 to 82 was measured in fish for 3,5-dichlorophenol using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a eight week period to a water concentration of 30 ppb, according to the standard test of the Japanese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MITI)(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of 3,5-dichlorophenol is estimated as 1,200(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.62(1), and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3,5-dichlorophenol is expected to have low mobility in soil. The pKa of 3,5-dichlorophenol is 8.18(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(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.
