Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
SYMPTOMS: Exposure to this material can cause local irritation, headache, cyanosis, jaundice, methemoglobinemia, weight loss, anemia, weakness and irritability. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This chemical is a skin irritant and an allergen. It can be absorbed through the skin and upon inhalation of dust. Toxic fumes are evolved when this material is heated to decomposition or upon contact with acid or acid fumes. (NTP, 1992)
The disposition and metabolism of 14C-labeled 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline (CNA) was studied in male F344 rats following oral or intravenous (iv) administration. The gastrointestinal absorption of CNA was found to be near complete and was not affected by the dose in the range studied (0.788-78.8 mumol/kg). Following either oral or iv administration, CNA was rapidly distributed throughout the tissues and showed no marked affinity for any particular tissue. [14C]CNA was rapidly cleared by metabolism and excretion in urine and to a lesser extent in feces...
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources.
This compound is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Prevent product from entering drains. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.
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.
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

4-CHLORO-2-NITROANILINE forms explosive products on reaction with nitric acid. Can react with oxidizing agents. (NTP, 1992)
no data available
In a large scale-up of the method for preparing 4-chloro-2,6-dinitroaniline by reacting nitric acid with 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline, an unexpected strong evolution of heat was experienced. The exotherm was found due to the simultaneous formation of two explosive products: the isomer 2-chloro-4,6-dinitroaniline & also 4-chloro-3,6-dinitrophenyldiazonium-2-oxide.
When heated to decomposition ... emits toxic vapors of /nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride/.

AEROBIC: 4-Chloro-2-nitroaniline, present at 100 ppm, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 ppm and the Japanese MITI test(1).
A 6 week bioconcentration study obtained BCF values of 7.5-13.2 and 8.0-13.4 in carp (Cyprinus carpio) for concentrations of 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline of 100 and 10 ppb, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline is estimated as 720(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.72(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline is expected to have low mobility in soil. Anilines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(4,5), suggesting that mobility may be much lower in some soils(SRC). The log Koc of 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline was measured as 2.30 in Yangtze river sediment (37.1% sand, 49.3% silt, 13.6% clay, 1.28% organic carbon, pH 7.44)(6). The log Koc was also measured as 3.68 in modified clay(7). These values give Koc values of 200 and 4800, respectively(SRC).

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.
