Excerpt from ERG Guide 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with 0.9% saline (NS) during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds
Fires involving this chemical can be controlled using a dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.

Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
NO open flames. 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.
Separated from bases, strong oxidants and food and feedstuffs. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.

AEROBIC: Less than 0.1% of applied 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene was degraded in a 5 day biodegradation study using activated sludge from a municipal sewage treatment plant(1). However, since bacteria capable of degrading unspecified chloronitrobenzene isomers have been isolated, these compounds are not expected to be inherently recalcitrant(2).
A BCF value of 84 was measured in guppies (Poecilia reticulata) during 3-day exposure to 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene(1). A 3-day exposure BCF of 80 was determined for golden ide fish (Leuciscus idus melanotus)(2). Rainbow trout, under continuous flow conditions and a water concentration of 750 ng/L, had a BCF value of 120 after 36 days exposure(3). According to a classification scheme(4), BCF values of 30 to 100 are moderate and 100 to 1000 are high. A 1-day exposure BCF of 150 was reported for green algae (Chlorella fusca)(2).
The Koc of 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene is estimated as 1,100(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.07(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene is expected to have low mobility in soil.

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.
