4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

/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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the 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. /Poisons A and B/

5.Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

This chemical is a combustible solid. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or alcohol foam extinguishers ... If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. 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 the shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position.

8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Respiratory protection

Wear dust mask when handling large quantities.

12.Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: no data available
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea, age 1-3 days); Conditions: freshwater, static; Concentration: 40000 mg/L for 24 hr (95% confidence interval: 35026-45680 mg/L); Effect: intoxication, immobilization /formulation

• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Pentaerythritol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 13.2% of its theoretical BOD in 25 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). Aerobic biodegradation test results for pentaerythritol with other biodegradation tests do show varying results: 97% DOC, 14 days, Zahn-Wellens; 0% DOC, 28 days, AFNOR; 9% CO2, Sturm test; 43%DOC Sturm test; OECD 301B, 77% removal; OECD 301 E modified screening test, 30 days, 13-97% DOC; OECD 302, 30 days, activated sludge, 98% degradation(2).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

Values for BCF of 0.3-0.6 and 0.2-2.1 were calculated in fish for pentaerythritol(SRC), using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed 10 and 1 ppm pentaerythritol, respectively, over an 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of pentaerythritol is estimated as 1.5(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.69(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that pentaerythritol is expected to have very 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.
