The substance is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. Exposure far above the OEL could cause lowering of consciousness.
The substance may have effects on the central nervous system. This may result in tissue lesions.
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Using a standard dilution method over a 5-day inoculation period and a seed from an effluent of a biological sanitary waste treatment plant, 4-t-butyltoluene was found to have a 2% theoretical BOD when the seed was not adapted and 6% theoretical BOD when the seed was adapted(1).
Based upon a reported water solubility of 5.5 ppm at 25 deg C(1), the BCF for 4-t-butyltoluene can be estimated to be 236 from a recommended regression-derived equation(2,SRC). This estimated BCF indicates that some bioconcentration in aquatic organisms may occur(SRC).
Based upon a reported water solubility of 5.5 ppm at 25 deg C(1), the Koc for 4-t-butyltoluene can be estimated to be 1700 from a linear regression-derived equation(2,SRC). Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indexes, the Koc for 4-t-butyltoluene can be estimated to be 1900(3). These estimated Koc values indicate that 4-t-butyltoluene will have low mobility in soil(4).

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.
