Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Very toxic; probable oral lethal dose in humans is 50-500 mg/kg or between 1 teaspoon and 1 ounce for a 70 kg (150 lb.) person. Poisoning causes liver and kidney degeneration and irritates mucous membranes; it may be cumulative. Several fatal cases with brain edema and lung edema have been reported from industrial exposure by inhalation and skin contact. It is more toxic by skin contact than orally. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
4= very toxic: probable oral lethal dose (human) 50-500 mg/kg, between 1 teaspoon & 1 ounce for 70 kg person (150 lb).
May be absorbed through the skin.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Water, alcohol foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Its decomposition products will react with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes of phosgene and hydrogen chloride. Vapors are heavier than air and may flash back to a source of ignition. (EPA, 1998)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: complete protective clothing 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.
Environmental precautions
Personal protection: complete protective clothing 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.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
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 and atomized in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. Ethylene chlorohydrin should not be allowed to enter a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 60°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. 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.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Fireproof. Separated from strong bases, oxidants and food and feedstuffs. Dry. Well closed.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive gases of hydrogen chloride and phosgene. Reacts violently with oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Reacts with water and steam. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes. Reacts with strong bases. This produces ethylene oxide. This generates fire and toxic hazard.
Chemical stability
It evaporates readily at room temperature
Possibility of hazardous reactions
MODERATE, WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT, FLAME OR OXIDIZERS.Mixing ethylene chlorohydrin in equal molar portions with any of the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: chlorosulfonic acid, ethylene diamine, and sodium hydroxide, [NFPA 1991]. Ethylenediamine reacts violently with ethylene chlorohydrin. (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1554.).

Persistence and degradability
2-Chloroethanol is readily biodegradable in screening tests and biological treatment simulations using sewage and activated sludge inocula(1-6). Various investigators have obtained the following results in percent of theoretical BOD in screening tests using sewage inocula: 57% in 20 days(1); 50% in 10 days(2); and 87% in 10 days(3). The results of these screening tests indicate that acclimation is important in the biodegradation process.
Bioaccumulative potential
Using the log octanol/water partition coefficient for 2-chloroethanol, 0.03(1), one can estimate a BCF of 0.62 using a recommended regression equation(2,SRC). Therefore, 2-chloroethanol would not be expected to bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms.
Mobility in soil
The Koc for 2-chloroethanol estimated from molecular structure is 1.33(1). According to a suggested classification scheme, a Koc of this magnitude indicates that 2-chloroethanol will exhibit very high mobility in soil(2).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
