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.

In case of eye contact

If swallowed

Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Inhalation may cause irritation of respiratory tract. Irritating to the eyes. May redden skin on contact. Ingestion may cause liver damage. (USCG, 1999)

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. /Aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds/

5.Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

6.2 Environmental precautions

Personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a POTW is acceptable only after review by the governing authority. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must meet Hazardous Material Criteria for disposal.

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Sediment from freshwater streams in the Netherlands degraded trichlorobenzenes, with reported biodegradation half-lives of 50 to 323 days(1). Trichlorobenzene was biodegraded by an acclimated anaerobic sediment slurry obtained from the Tsurumi River, Japan(2). First-order biodegradation rate constants in the range of 0.030-0.017/days were reported for trichlorobenzene, corresponding to half-lives of about 23-41 days(2). The half-life of trichlorobenzene in sewage sludge amended soil was in the range of 23-35 days(3). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test(4), 0% of the theoretical BOD was reached over a 2 week incubation period in sludge, indicating that biodegradation of trichlorobenzene may not be an important environmental fate process(SRC).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

Sediments and animals collected from near the discharge zone of the Los Angeles County wastewater treatment plant were analyzed for 27 selected organic compounds /including trichlorobenzene/ that had been identified in the effluent. The sediment and tissue concn of these organic compounds were positively correlated with each other and with the n-octanol/water partition coefficient, but these were negatively correlated with the effluent concn.

12.4 Mobility in soil

Log Koc values of 3.6-3.9 were measured for trichlorobenzene in sediment obtained from Ise Bay, Japan(1) and log Koc values of 4.5-5.0 were measured from sediment of Lake Ketelmeer, Netherlands(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggest that trichlorobenzene has low mobility in soil(SRC).

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.
