INHALATION, INGESTION OR SKIN ABSORPTION: Headache, flushing of face, dizziness, difficult breathing, cyanosis, nausea, vomiting, muscular weakness, increased pulse and respiratory rate, irritability and convulsions. EYES: Slight irrita- tion. SKIN: Slight irritation. (USCG, 1999)
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. Aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds

Ventilate area of spill or leak. For small quantities of liquid nitrotoluene, absorb on paper towels. For small quantities of solid nitrotoluene, sweep onto paper or other suitable material. Remove to a safe place (such as a fume hood) and burn paper. Large quantities of liquid nitrotoluene can be collected and atomized in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. Large quantities of solid nitrotoluene can be reclaimed; however, if this is not practical, dissolve in a flammable solvent (such as alcohol) and atomize in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. nitrotoluene

AEROBIC: 3-Nitrotoluene, present at 100 mg/L, reached 2% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MITI) test, which employs a mixed inoculum obtained from freshwater, soil, and sludge(1). Using unacclimated sludge as the inocululm(2) but lower concentrations of 3-nitrotoluene (10 ppm), complete degradation was observed to occur within 14 days. Other evidence supports complete aerobic degradation of 10 mg/L 3-nitrotoluene within 2 weeks when incubated in adapted aerobic composite river sediment and sewage sludges(3). When nitrotoluene-adapted activated sludges were used as an inoculum, however, 3-nitrotoluene (200 mg/L) was almost completely degraded (i.e. 98% removal) within 5 days when incubated at 20 deg C(4). Using a mixed culture isolated from a contaminated soil (near an ammunition plant), 3-nitrotoluene (at initial concentrations of 5 and 12 mg/L) degraded completely in 4 days in aerobic batch and continuous reactor tests(5).
The BCF for 3-nitrotoluene in fish (Poecilia reticulata) was been experimentally determined to be 16(1). The BCF in carp (Cyprinus carpio) ranged from 0.47 to 12 at test concentrations of 2.5-25 ppb 3-nitrotoluene over a 6-week exposure period(2). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 3-nitrotoluene can be estimated to be 363(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-nitrotoluene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Field monitoring at a munition factory site in Melbourne Australia found that 3-nitrotoluene migrated large distances in the subsurface soils(3); 3-nitrotoluene is reported to have low soil Kd sorption coefficients in a variety of soils types(3) indicating it will leach.

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.
