Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Prolonged contact can cause damage to the eyes, severe irritation and burns. Exposure to this class of compounds may cause profuse sweating, intense thirst, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cyanosis from methemoglobinemia, hyperactivity, stupor, blood pressure fall, hyperpnea, hemolysis, convulsions, collapse, coma and pulmonary edema followed by pneumonia. If death from respiratory failure is not immediate, jaundice and oliguria or anuria may occur. Other symptoms of exposure to this class of compounds includes headache, dizziness, rapid and difficult breathing and weakness. On ingestion, severe burns and internal damage may occur. Chronic exposure may result in digestive disturbances, nervous disorders, skin eruptions and liver and kidney damage. Skin contact with this type of compound may cause softening and whitening of the skin, followed by the development of painful burns. Prolonged contact may lead to dermatitis. Local contact may also result in painless blanching or erythema and corrosion of the skin. Skin sensitivity reactions occur occasionally. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. It is an irritant of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. On prolonged contact, it causes severe irritation or burns. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of chlorine, carbon monoxide, car bon dioxide and hydrogen chloride gas. (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 as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on 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. Phenols and related compounds

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 2,6-Dichlorophenol was observed to undergo a theoretical BOD of 14.8% in a 3 hr period using a Warburg respirometer and microbes isolated from garden soil, compost, river mud, and sediment from a waste lagoon(1). Under aerobic sealed flask conditions, 100% of added 2,6-dichlorophenol degraded within 0.75 days in a clay loam soil while only 55% degraded in 40 days in sterilized soil controls(2). Approximately 68% of initially added 2,6-dichlorophenol remained after 12 weeks of incubation in four freshwater pond sediments(3). Between 91.7 and 100% of the 2,6-dichlorophenol initially added to a freshwater pond sediment (which had been contaminated with asphalt) was observed to degrade within two weeks, after a lag period of approximatelyly four weeks(3). The half-life of 2,6-dichlorophenol in an aquifer slurry was measured as 20 days(4). Microcosms isolated from a sewage treatment facility biodegraded 2,6-dichlorophenol to 2-chlorophenol, with an observed half-life of about 2 days(5). The biodegradation half-life of 2,6-dichlorophenol was reported as about 59 hours in basic soils, 389 hours in acidic soils and 1000 hours in water(6).
Bioaccumulative potential
A BCF of 4.1 to 20 was measured in fish for 2,6-dichlorophenol using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a six week period to a water concentration of 30 ppb, using the standard test of the Japanese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MITI)(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 2,6-dichlorophenol is estimated as 410(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.75(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,6-dichlorophenol is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. The pKa of 2,6-dichlorophenol is 6.79(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in 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
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.
