4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include skin, eye and mucous membrane irritation; and hair loss. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may cause skin, eye and mucous membrane irritation.

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.

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.

7.Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Separated from strong oxidants. Keep in a well-ventilated room.In general it is unsafe to store oxidizers close to liquids of low flash point. ... Keep all flammables away from an area where oxidizing agents are stored. This storage area should be kept cool and ventilated, and should be fireproof.

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene was resistant to biodegradation when exposed to mixed cultures of microorganisms adapted to phenol for an unspecified period of time(1). 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene incubated in domestic wastewater for 24 and 135 hours showed 0% biodegradation, while 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene incubated in adapted wastewater showed 20 and 47% biodegradation after 24 and 135 hours, respectively(2). 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(3). The half-life of 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene in sewage sludge amended soil was 24 days(4). 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene showed no biodegradation when incubated in sediment from freshwater streams in the Netherlands(5). 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene was found to be persistent when a concn of 28 uM was incubated for 4 days(6). These data suggest that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process(SRC).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

BCFs of 600-1,600 and 150-1,700 were measured in carp exposed for a 6 week incubation period at concns of 25 and 2.5 ug/L of 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene, respectively(1). Trout exposed to 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene for up to 119 days had a mean BCF of 1,800(2). Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) had a BCF of 756 wet weight but was calculated as 14,000 based on lipid weight for 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high to very high. 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene had a measured BCF of 2 in pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis) after 10 days of exposure(5).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Measured log Koc values for 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene of 2.8(1), 3.09(2), 3.2(3), 3.69(4), 3.79(5) and 3.82(6), were reported in soil. According to a recommended classification scheme(7), these Koc values suggest that 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene has low to no 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.
