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 as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on 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. /Higher alcohols (>3 carbons) and related compounds/

Skin protection

Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

10.Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

no data available

10.2 Chemical stability

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

Combustible when it is exposed to heat or flame.DODECANOL is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: A 5-day theoretical BOD of 20% was observed for 1-dodecanol in an aerobic screening test using a sewage inoculum(1). A 5-day theoretical BOD of 23.2% was observed for 1-dodecanol in a standard BOD dilution test using a mixed microbial inoculum(2-3). A 5-day theoretical BOD of 27-29.7% was observed for 1-dodecanol in a standard BOD aerobic screening test using a sewage inoculum or an acclimated activated sludge inoculum(4); using a Warburg respirometer technique and a sewage inoculum, a 6-hr theoretical BOD of 15.2% was observed(4). Using a Warburg respirometer technique and various activated sludge inoculum, respective 6-hr, 12-hr and 24-hr theoretical BODs of 4.5, 10.1 and 13.4% were observed(5). 1-Dodecanol was found to be readily biodegraded(6).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 48 was calculated in fish for 1-dodecanol(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.13(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Koc values of 2042-3388 were reported for 1-dodecanol in humic acid(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc range suggests that 1-dodecanol is expected to have slight mobility in soil. Koc values of 2570-6574, 2337-11,184, 7700 and 16,700-17,981 were reported for 1-dodecanol in activated sludge, sediment, suspended solids and suspended solids with activated sludge, respectively(1).

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.
