Excerpt from ERG Guide 130 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible / Noxious)]: CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not use straight streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic and irritating gases may be generated. (USCG, 1999)
Use powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Remove all ignition sources. Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. Do NOT wash away into sewer. 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.

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.
1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. For small quantities, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in a safe place (such as a fume hood). Allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear the hood ductwork. Burn the paper in a suitable location away from combustible materials. Large quantities can be collected & atomized in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. Propylene dichloride should not be allowed to enter a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion.
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Fireproof. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

On combustion, forms toxic and corrosive fumes. Attacks aluminium alloys and some types of plastic. Reacts violently with strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Sensitive to heat.
DESPITE LOW FLASH POINT IT DOES NOT CATCH FIRE READILY IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.1,2-DICHLOROPROPANE reacts with strong oxidizers and strong acids. It also reacts with aluminum. When confined, this reaction can lead to an explosion. It is incompatible with bases and aluminum alloys. It will attack some forms of plastics, rubber and coatings.

Evaluation: No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogenicity of 1,2-dichloropropane were available. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of 1,2-dichloropropane. Overall evaluation: 1,2-Dichloropropane is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).
A case was reported of a woman who was hospitalized with metrorrhagia (bleeding from the uterus between menstrual periods) after acute inhalation exposure to propylene dichloride. No other information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of propylene dichloride in humans. No reproductive effects were noted in several animal inhalation studies. Developmental effects, such as an increased incidence of delayed ossification of the bones of the skull, and reproductive effects such as testicular degeneration and increased incidences of infection of the ovary, uterus, or other organs, have been observed in animals exposed to propylene dichloride by gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach). It is not known if the infections observed were related to propylene dichloride treatment since controls were also infected.
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. The substance may have effects on the liver and kidneys. This substance is carcinogenic to humans.
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Partial chemical oxidation of biorefractory cmpds by ozone treatment prior to biological oxidation was studied. 1,2-Dichloropropane is not biodegradable, but it can be made biodegradable with ozonation.
BCF ranges of 1.2-3.2 and 0.5-6.9 were measured for 1,2-dichloropropane at concns of 0.4 mg/l and 0.04 mg/l, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc for 1,2-dichloropropane is 47 in a silt loam(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that 1,2-dichloropropane is expected to have high mobility in soil. It sorbs to clay minerals in dry soil but desorbs as the soil absorbs moisture(2). In the areas of the US where 1,2-dichloropropane was used as a fumigant, the soil is generally sandy with low organic carbon content and would probably have little impact on reducing mobility due to soil adsorption(2).

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.
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.
