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.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
A BCF of 81 was reported in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) for didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate. Didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride is reported to have low bioconcentration in tests using carp (Cyprinus carpio)(3); BCF values not reported(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The log Koc for didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride has been reported as 5.64 (sand), 5.96 (sandy loam), 6.20 (silty clay loam), 6.17 (silt loam)(1), corresponding to Koc values of 4.4X10+5, 9.1X10+5, 1.6X10+6, and 1.5X10+6 respectively(SRC). In batch equilibrium studies using five different soil types and OECD Guideline 106 (Adsorption - Desorption Using a Batch Equilibrium Method), didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride had Koc values of 667, 1140, 10456, 14072 and 24433(2). According to a classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride is expected to have low to no mobility in soil with most Koc values suggesting the compound is immobile in soil. Didecyl dimethyl ammounium chloride is a cationic surfactant(1) that may exist in cation form in the environment(SRC), and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Didecyl dimethyl ammounium chloride binds rapidly to suspended solids and sediments(1). Reported Kd values at 25°C are 3.03 (sand), 3.91 (sandy loam), 4.52 (silty clay loam), and 4.49 (silt loam)(1).

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.
