Allyl alcohol is an intense irritant to skin, eyes, nose, and throat. It causes burns on contact, and may cause pulmonary edema if inhaled. It is poisonous in small quantities. The probable oral lethal dose is 50-500 mg/kg, or between 1 teaspoonful and 1 ounce for a 150-lb. person. (EPA, 1998)

Inhibitors of alcohol dehydrogenase prevent periportal liver necrosis in animals treated with allyl alcohol.

Use water spray, dry chemical, "alcohol resistant" foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Allyl alcohol vapor may explode if ignited in confined areas. Combustion products may be poisonous. The vapor is heavier than air and flashback along vapor trail may occur. Gives off toxic fumes when heated. May react vigorously with oxidizing materials, carbon tetrachloride, acids, oleum, sodium hydroxide, diallyl phosphite, potassium chloride, or tri-n-bromomelamine. (EPA, 1998)

Use water in large amounts, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Remove all ignition sources. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Releases may require isolation or evacuation. Stop or control the leak, if this can be done without undue risk. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors, protect personnel, and dilute spills to form nonflammable mixtures. Approach release from upwind. Eliminate all ignition sources. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 21°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. 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.

Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants and food and feedstuffs.Separate from oxidizing materials. Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated location.

TLV: 0.5 ppm as TWA; (skin); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen).EU-OEL: 4,8 mg/m3, 2 ppm as TWA; 12,1 mg/m3, 5 ppm as STEL; (skin).MAK: skin absorption (H); carcinogen category: 3B

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.

Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

Protective gloves. Protective clothing.

Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.

Reacts with carbon tetrachloride, nitric acid and chlorosulfonic acid. This generates fire and explosion hazard.

Upon storage for several years allyl alcohol polymerizes and a thick syrup is formed (insol in water, sol in chloroform) which on treatment with ether yields a brittle resinoid mass.

AT 22 DEG C, LIQUID GIVES OFF FLAMMABLE CONCN OF VAPOR IN AIR.ALLYL ALCOHOL presents a dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizing agents. Reacts violently or explosively with sulfuric acid, strong bases. Reacts violently with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4,6-tris(bromoamino)-1,3,5-triazine. Reacts with carbon tetrachloride to produce explosively unstable products [Lewis]. Mixing allyl alcohol in equal molar portions with any of the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: chlorosulfonic acid, nitric acid, oleum, sulfuric acid [NFPA 491M. 1991].

A reaction between allyl alcohol and carbon tetrachloride produced trichlorobutylene epoxide (oxide) and dichlorobutylene epoxide (oxide), a mixture which during distillation proved to be unstable and detonated in the still.

Energy of decomposition (in range 360-500 deg C) measured as 0.69 kJ/g.

Lachrymation. The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the muscles. This may result in local spasm and aching. The effects may be delayed. The substance may cause effects on the kidneys and liver.

A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

AEROBIC: Allyl alcohol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 86% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test which classified allyl alcohol as readily biodegradable(1). Following incubation of 20 deg C with settled sewage seed, 2.5 ppm of allyl alcohol had degraded to 9.1, 55.0, 78.2, and 81.8% of the theoretical BOD after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, respectively(2). In a 5 day BOD test, 81% of the theoretical oxygen demand was observed following incubation of allyl alcohol at 20 deg C with a sewage seed(3). Allyl alcohol (25 ppm) was found to degrade 100 and 60% in marine and river water after 3 days at 30 deg C, respectively(4). Half-lives of 10.2 and 9.5 days at 20 deg C were found for allyl alcohol with Texas soil (pH 7.8, 3.25% organic matter) and Mississippi soil (pH 4.8, <1% organic matter), respectively(5).

An estimated BCF of 3 in fish was calculated for allyl alcohol(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.17(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). The uptake of (14)C-allyl alcohol residues by lettuce and carrots was investigated in the greenhouse(4); uptake of residues was higher by carrots than by lettuce, and higher by lettuce roots than by lettuce tops(4); no bioaccumulation was observed(4).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for allyl alcohol can be estimated to be 2(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that allyl alcohol is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Leaching of allyl alcohol from soil surface to deeper layers was found to rank in order of sand > sandy loam > humus sand(3). The percent leached after 2 days and 400 mL of water with sand containing 0.51% and 2.89% organic matter were 100 and 83.3%, respectively(3). Freundlich adsorption coefficients for allyl alcohol in Texas soil (pH 7.8, 3.25% organic matter) and Mississippi soil (pH 4.8, <1% organic matter) were 4.5X10-3 and 3.3X10-4, respectively(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.
