4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin and severe irritation of the eyes. It reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and causes shortness of breath by formation of methemoglobin It can cause an allergic skin reaction, rash, chloracne, cyanosis, weakness, tearing, and blurring of vision. Higher exposures can cause abnormal liver an kidney function. Skin permeation can lead to systemic toxicity. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound can cause skin irritation and severe eye irritation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of chlorine and nitrogen oxides. Thermal decomposition may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride gas. It is highly toxic when absorbed through the skin, swallowed or when vapors from the heated material are inhaled.

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

Basic treatment: Establish patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for shock and treat if necessary ... . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary ... . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport ... . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 mL/kg up to 200 mL of water for dilution if the patent can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal ... . /Aniline and related compounds/

12.2 Persistence and degradability

3,4-DICHLOROANILINE (DCA), A BIODEGRADATION INTERMEDIATE OF SEVERAL HERBICIDES, IS MINERALIZED IN SOIL ONLY VERY SLOWLY. IN ENRICHMENT CULTURES, DCA FAILED TO SERVE AS THE SOLE SUBSTRATE, BUT ANALOG ENRICHMENT YIELDED A PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA STRAIN THAT, IN PRESENCE OF UNCHLORINATED ANALOG SUBSTRATES, MINERALIZED DCA WITH RELEASE OF (14)CO2 AND CL-. MASS SPECTROMETRIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE KEY BIODEGRADATION INTERMEDIATES (3,4-DICHLOROMUCONATE, 3-CHLOROBUTENOLIDE AND 3-CHLOROLEVULINIC ACID) REVEALED THAT DCA BIODEGRADATION OCCURRED THROUGH 4,5-DICHLOROCATECHOL, 3,4-DICHLOROMUCONATE, 3-CHLOROBUTENOLIDE, 3-CHLOROMALEYLACETATE AND 3-CHLORO-4-KETADIPATE TO SUCCINATE PLUS ACETATE. THROUGH THE ABOVE PATHWAY, DCA WAS CONVERTED ULTIMATELY TO INORGANIC END PRODUCTS. THE SLOW MINERALIZATION OF DCA IN SOIL IS NOT ENTIRELY EXPLAINABLE BY THE INHERENT RECALCITRANCE OF THIS COMPOUND BUT IS EXPLAINABLE BY THE COMPETING POLYMERIZATION & BINDING REACTIONS THAT DECREASE ITS AVAILABILITY.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

Studies on the environmental hazards & fate of herbicides are reviewed. Herbicides do not accumulate by way of the trophic chains, except for diuron & 3,4-dichloroaniline, which accumulate in fish.

12.4 Mobility in soil

... UP TO 90% OF 3,4-DICHLORANILINE ... DERIVED FROM BIODEGRADATION OF PHENYLAMIDE HERBICIDES IS ADSORBED SO STRONGLY BY SOIL ORG MATTER THAT IT IS NOT EXTRACTABLE BY SOLVENTS. BOUND DCA IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ACID & ALKALINE HYDROLYSIS.
