Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SYMPTOMS: This chemical may cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This chemical and its decomposition products are considered to be very toxic by: ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. It emits toxic fumes. It may react violently with oxidizing materials. It is also known to be a strong skin irritant. (NTP, 1992)

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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the 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. Poisons A and B

SECTION 12: Ecological information

Toxicity

  • Toxicity to fish: EC50 - Cyprinus carpio - 1.1 - 1.8 mg/L - 24.
  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 0.26 mg/L - 48 h.
  • Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) - 0.4 mg/L - 72 h.
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: activated sludge, domestic and industrial, seeded with sediment exposed to brominated organics.

Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: 2,4,6-Tribromophenol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 49% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). 2,4,6-Tribromophenol was not degraded over 14 days in a marine sediment slurry, prepared from sediment from the 0 to 1 cm interval with equivalent amounts of filtered seawater(2). No ring degradation was reported for 2,4,6-tribromophenol, at 100 mg/L, over a 5-day period using a soil inoculum(3). Water samples collected from two treatment ponds were unable to degrade 2,4,6-tribromophenol over 32 days(4).

Bioaccumulative potential

BCF values of 513(1,3) and 83(2) were measured in Brachydanio rerio and fathead minnow, respectively, for 2,4,6-tribromophenol. According to a classification scheme(4), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate to high.

Mobility in soil

The Koc of 2,4,6-tribromophenol is estimated as 4,200(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.13(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,4,6-tribromophenol is expected to have slight mobility in soil. The pKa of 2,4,6-tribromophenol is 6.80(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).

Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

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.
