Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
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.

Carcinogenicity
Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of 2-nitroanisole. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of 2-nitroanisole. Overall evaluation: 2-Nitroanisole is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
Reproductive toxicity
no data available
STOT-single exposure
Exposure at high levels could cause formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
STOT-repeated exposure
The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in anaemia.
Aspiration hazard
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly on spraying.
SECTION 12: Ecological information
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Pimephales promelas (Fathead minnow); Conditions: static; Concentration: 216.1 mg/L/96 hr

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 2-Nitroanisole is considered non-biodegradable(1). o-Nitroanisole, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(2). Greater than 64 days were required to degrade 2-nitroanisole by a soil microflora inoculum from a Niagara silt loam in a mineral salts medium(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
Measured BCF ranges of 1.4-2.3 and 2.7-5.2 at test chemical concentrations of 50 and 5 ppb, respectively, were reported in fish for 2-nitroanisole using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 8-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 2-nitroanisole is estimated as 140(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.73(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-nitroanisole is expected to have high mobility in soil.
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.
