Poisonous; may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Inhalation causes repiratory difficulty and irritation of mucous membranes. Skin and eye irritant; may cause burns. (USCG, 1999)

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 . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Cover skin burns with sterile dressings after decontamination . Halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons and related compounds

To fight fire, use dry chemical, CO2, alcohol foam, water spray, fog, mist.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: They contain highly toxic and irritating chloride fumes. Behavior in Fire: May burn to produce highly toxic and irritating gases. (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, powder, 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. 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.

Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.

NO open flames. 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.

Separated from food and feedstuffs. Well closed. Ventilation along the floor. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.

NIOSH considers hexachlorobutadiene to be a potential occupational carcinogen.

Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163) and phosgene (see ICSC 0007). Attacks rubber and some forms of plastic.

Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxidizing materials.HEXACHLOROBUTADIENE rapidly decomposes rubber on contact. Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. Reacts to form an explosive product with bromine perchlorate. (NTP, 1992). Gives highly toxic and irritating chloride fumes when burned.

EPA: Possibly carcinogenic to humans. IARC: Not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans. NTP: Not evaluated

No information is available regarding the developmental or reproductive effects of hexachlorobutadiene in humans. One study reported that the frequency of abnormal sperm morphology did not increase significantly over controls in mice exposed to hexachlorobutadiene via inhalation. A study in rats exposed via inhalation reported no embryotoxic effects, except for a reduction in fetal body weights. Oral animal studies have reported reduced fertility, reduced fetal body weights, but no birth defects or other developmental effects from hexachlorobutadiene exposure.

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The liquid is corrosive. The substance may cause effects on the kidneys.

Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. May cause genetic damage in humans.

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

AEROBIC: Hexachloro-1,3-butadiene may biodegrade in natural waters since 100% degradation occurred in 7 days in an aerobic batch culture incubated at 25 deg C and inoculated with settled domestic sewage(1). Estimated half-lives for hexachloro-1,3-butadiene disappearance based on monitoring data are 3-30 days in river water and 30-300 days in lake and ground waters(2). ANAEROBIC: Greater than 99% of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene transformed to (E,E)-1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobutadiene by reductive dechlorination in columns with Rhine sediment (Germany) operated at 20 deg C with methanogenic electron acceptors(3). Hexachloro-1,3-butadiene was only removed under methanogenic conditions using these sediments and not when oxygen or nitrate were present in the column experiments(4). Reductive dechlorination in the column was ascribed to the activity of anaerobic microorganisms(4).

The mean bioconcentration factor (BCF) for rainbow trout exposed to 0.10 ng/l and 3.4 ng/l of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene was 5,800 and 17,000, respectively(1). The BCF for fathead minnow exposed to hexachloro-1,3-butadiene was 6,918(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high. The mean bioconcentration factor for hexachloro-1,3-butadiene between oligocheate worms and sediment in Lake Ontario near the Niagara River was 0.43(4). The concn of the chemical in the sediment pore water was the main factor affecting bioconcentration(4).

The Koc of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene ranges from 5.02X10+3 to 2.75X10+5(1-3). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that hexachloro-1,3-butadiene has slight to no 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.
