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: Symptoms of exposure to this compound in humans include drowsiness, loss of consciousness, irregular pulse and cyanosis. It may also cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. It is corrosive to the eyes, and extremely corrosive to the mouth and throat. Swallowing dusts or solids causes severe and rapid burning of the mouth, throat and digestive tract accompanied by severe pain, vomiting and collapse. It has also caused severe porphyrea cutanea tarda. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is a highly toxic irritant. It is irritating to the skin and respiratory tract, and corrosive to the eyes. It is also extremely corrosive to the mouth and throat. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, chlorine or hydrogen chloride, and other unidentified organic compounds in black smoke. (NTP, 1992)

Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Administer activated charcoal . Do not use emetics. Cover skin burns with dry, sterile dressings after decontamination . Maintain body temperature. Phenols and related compounds

Fires involving this compound should be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)

This chemical is 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.

If a spill occurs, clean it up promptly. Don't wash it away. Instead, sprinkle the spill with sawdust, vermiculite, or kitty litter. Sweep it into a plastic garbage bag, and dispose of it as directed on the pesticide product label.

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.

Safe Storage of Pesticides. Always store pesticides in their original containers, complete with labels that list ingredients, directions for use, and first aid steps in case of accidental poisoning. Never store pesticides in cabinets with or near food, animal feed, or medical supplies. Do not store pesticides in places where flooding is possible or in places where they might spill or leak into wells, drains, ground water, or surface water.

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.

AEROBIC: Biodegradation rate constants and half-lives of 0.21 to 1.04/days and <1 to 3 days, respectively, were reported in river die away studies using unacclimated river water containing 0.1 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol(1). The biodegradation half-life of o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol at an initial concentration of 0.5 mg/L was 1 to 2 days, in a sewage sludge(1). Activated sludge with an initial concentration of 0.5 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol had a biodegradation rate constant of 3.88/days and a half life of 0.18 days as measured by DOC loss(1). Ultimate biodegradation to CO2 and H2O using acclimated sewage and 20-30 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol, took slightly longer with a half-life of 7 to 23 days(1). o-Benzyl-p-chlorophenol undergoes rapid biodegradation after a short acclimation period in river water; o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol at a concentration of 0.1 mg/L was 78% degraded aerobically after 8 days; first re-spike (0.1 mg/L) on day 8 with 90% removal after 2 days; second re-spike of 0.1 mg/L on day 10 with 100% removal by day 13(2). o-Benzyl-p-chlorophenol, 0.5 mg/L, added to natural domestic sewage was substantially degraded within one day; re-spiked (1.0 mg/L) with nearly 100% removal within one day(2). Acclimated activated sludge mixed liquor in a semicontinuous activated sludge unit (o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol concentration, 2.0 mg/L) gave complete removal of DOC (dissolved organic carbon) in 24 hours. Sludge from a semicontinuous activated sludge unit was used as inoculum (o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol, 20 mg/L); there was a one week lag period followed by CO2 evolution at 60% of the theoretical within 27 days(2). CO2 evolution was used as a test method in this experiment to ensure that degradation was due to microbial action(2).

A BCF value of 75 was measured for bluegill sunfish(1). Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis machrochirus) were exposed to 0.057 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol for a period of 96 hours followed by a depuration period of 96 hours to determine the ability of the fish to metabolize and eliminate o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol. Depuration rate constants were from 4.67 to 6.94/days with a half-life of 0.14 days(1). The rate constant of o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol uptake in fish ranged from 11.8 to 13.8/days with a half-life of 0.06 days. According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).

An experimentally determined Koc of 2050 was obtained by equilibrating aqueous solutions of o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol (at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 10 mg/L) with four different soils, with organic carbon contents ranging from 0.41 to 1.97%, and then analyzing both soil and water phases for o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol(1). According to a suggested classification scheme(2), this Koc value indicates that o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol is expected to have slight mobility in soil(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.
