4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Headache, dizziness; cyanosis; red blood cell Heinz bodies; [potential occupational carcinogen] Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver, cardiovascular system, central nervous system (NIOSH, 2016)

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 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. /Aniline and related compounds/

5.Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol foam extinguishers. Vapors are heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Vapors may travel long distances to ignition sources and flashback. Vapors in confined areas may explode when exposed to fire. Storage containers and parts of containers may rocket great distances, in many directions. 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 shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position ... The only respirators recommended for fire fighting are self-contained breathing apparatuses that have full facepieces and are operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. /Anisidines/

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Brachydanio rerio (zebrafish); Conditions: static; Concentration: >100 mg/L for 96 hr
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: LC50; Species: Daphnia magna (water flea); Conditions: static; Concentration: 12 mg/L for 48 hr
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: o-Anisidine, present at 100 ppm, reached 81.7% theoretical BOD (NH3 end product) in two weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1); it reached 40 to 69.1% of its theoretical BOD (NO2 end product) in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L(1,2). At high concentrations, o-anisidine has been shown to be toxic to microorganisms and biodegrades at a much slower rate(3,4). 20 ug/L o-anisidine, inoculated with a mixed culture of soil microorganisms in an aqueous mineral salts medium, was found to persist >64 days as measured by UV absorbency(5). 2% of the theoretical BOD was achieved for o-anisidine at 20 ppm in sea water from Akashi Beach, Japan. These biodegradation data indicate that o-anisidine will biodegrade rapidly under aerobic conditions(SRC) except when microorganisms are killed by high concentrations of the compound(2,3).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated in fish for o-anisidine(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.18(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). 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 o-anisidine is estimated as 46(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.18(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that o-anisidine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of o-anisidine is 4.53(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Anilines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(6,7).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations
