5.Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use dry chemical, "alcohol resistant" foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray. Water may be ineffective. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. fight fire from protected location or maximum possible distance. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomp products.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Vapors form flammable mixtures with air, and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Polymerization may take place in containers, possibly with violent rupture of containers. Upon exposure to heat or flame, it emits toxic and irritating fumes. Container may explode in heat of fire. Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors, or in sewers. Polymerizes on standing. Hazardous polymerization may occur. Avoid heat or sunlight. (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
Remove all ignition sources. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. 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
Environmental considerations: air spill: Apply water spray or mist to knock down vapors. /Methyl vinyl ketone, stabilized/
7.Handling and storage

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: A theoretical BOD of 10% was determined for methyl vinyl ketone over a 5-day incubation period using the French AFNOR test(1). Using a standard BOD technique with acclimated sewage inoculum, a theoretical BOD of 0% was measured for methyl vinyl ketone over a 5-day incubation period(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated in fish for methyl vinyl ketone(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.41(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
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of methyl vinyl ketone can be estimated to be 3.8(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that methyl vinyl ketone is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
