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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the 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. /Poisons A and B/
5.Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
This chemical is a combustible solid. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or alcohol foam extinguishers ... 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 the shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Pentaerythritol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 13.2% of its theoretical BOD in 25 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). Aerobic biodegradation test results for pentaerythritol with other biodegradation tests do show varying results: 97% DOC, 14 days, Zahn-Wellens; 0% DOC, 28 days, AFNOR; 9% CO2, Sturm test; 43%DOC Sturm test; OECD 301B, 77% removal; OECD 301 E modified screening test, 30 days, 13-97% DOC; OECD 302, 30 days, activated sludge, 98% degradation(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Values for BCF of 0.3-0.6 and 0.2-2.1 were calculated in fish for pentaerythritol(SRC), using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed 10 and 1 ppm pentaerythritol, respectively, over an 6-week period(1). 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 pentaerythritol is estimated as 1.5(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.69(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that pentaerythritol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
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.
