4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Allyl alcohol is an intense irritant to skin, eyes, nose, and throat. It causes burns on contact, and may cause pulmonary edema if inhaled. It is poisonous in small quantities. The probable oral lethal dose is 50-500 mg/kg, or between 1 teaspoonful and 1 ounce for a 150-lb. person. (EPA, 1998)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Inhibitors of alcohol dehydrogenase prevent periportal liver necrosis in animals treated with allyl alcohol.
5.Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use water spray, dry chemical, "alcohol resistant" foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Allyl alcohol vapor may explode if ignited in confined areas. Combustion products may be poisonous. The vapor is heavier than air and flashback along vapor trail may occur. Gives off toxic fumes when heated. May react vigorously with oxidizing materials, carbon tetrachloride, acids, oleum, sodium hydroxide, diallyl phosphite, potassium chloride, or tri-n-bromomelamine. (EPA, 1998)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
6.Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Remove all ignition sources. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Releases may require isolation or evacuation. Stop or control the leak, if this can be done without undue risk. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors, protect personnel, and dilute spills to form nonflammable mixtures. Approach release from upwind. Eliminate all ignition sources. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.

10.Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
no data available
10.2 Chemical stability
Upon storage for several years allyl alcohol polymerizes and a thick syrup is formed (insol in water, sol in chloroform) which on treatment with ether yields a brittle resinoid mass.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
AT 22 DEG C, LIQUID GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE CONCN OF VAPOR IN AIR.ALLYL ALCOHOL presents a dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizing agents. Reacts violently or explosively with sulfuric acid, strong bases. Reacts violently with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4,6-tris(bromoamino)-1,3,5-triazine. Reacts with carbon tetrachloride to produce explosively unstable products [Lewis]. Mixing allyl alcohol in equal molar portions with any of the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: chlorosulfonic acid, nitric acid, oleum, sulfuric acid [NFPA 491M. 1991].
10.4 Conditions to avoid

10.5 Incompatible materials
A reaction between allyl alcohol and carbon tetrachloride produced trichlorobutylene epoxide (oxide) and dichlorobutylene epoxide (oxide), a mixture which during distillation proved to be unstable and detonated in the still.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Allyl alcohol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 86% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test which classified allyl alcohol as readily biodegradable(1). Following incubation of 20°C with settled sewage seed, 2.5 ppm of allyl alcohol had degraded to 9.1, 55.0, 78.2, and 81.8% of the theoretical BOD after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, respectively(2). In a 5 day BOD test, 81% of the theoretical oxygen demand was observed following incubation of allyl alcohol at 20°C with a sewage seed(3). Allyl alcohol (25 ppm) was found to degrade 100 and 60% in marine and river water after 3 days at 30°C, respectively(4). Half-lives of 10.2 and 9.5 days at 20°C were found for allyl alcohol with Texas soil (pH 7.8, 3.25% organic matter) and Mississippi soil (pH 4.8, <1% organic matter), respectively(5).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 in fish was calculated for allyl alcohol(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.17(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). The uptake of (14)C-allyl alcohol residues by lettuce and carrots was investigated in the greenhouse(4); uptake of residues was higher by carrots than by lettuce, and higher by lettuce roots than by lettuce tops(4); no bioaccumulation was observed(4).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for allyl alcohol can be estimated to be 2(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that allyl alcohol is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Leaching of allyl alcohol from soil surface to deeper layers was found to rank in order of sand > sandy loam > humus sand(3). The percent leached after 2 days and 400 mL of water with sand containing 0.51% and 2.89% organic matter were 100 and 83.3%, respectively(3). Freundlich adsorption coefficients for allyl alcohol in Texas soil (pH 7.8, 3.25% organic matter) and Mississippi soil (pH 4.8, <1% organic matter) were 4.5X10-3 and 3.3X10-4, respectively(4).
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.
