Vapors irritate eyes and respiratory tract; high concentrations can be anesthetic. Liquid irritates eyes but causes no serious injury; may cause dermatitis; no serious effects if swallowed. (USCG, 1999)

For 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 . 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 . Esters and related compounds

Extinguish with dry chem, /alcohol/ foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Cool exposed containers with water.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 129 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG, 2016)

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

Remove all ignition sources. Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable glass containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. For small quantities, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in a safe place (such as a fume hood). Allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear the hood ductwork. Burn the paper in a suitable location away from combustible materials. Large quantities can be collected and atomized in a suitable combustion chamber.

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. See Chemical Dangers 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 AWAY FROM HEAT & OPEN FLAME ... Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Moderatedly explosive when exposed to heat or flame.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.ISOPROPYL ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. This compound can react vigorously with nitrates, strong oxidizers, strong alkalis and strong acids. This chemical may also attack some forms of rubber, plastics and coatings. (NTP, 1992).

The substance may be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Exposure far above the OEL could cause lowering of consciousness.

The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking.

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

A screening test using an activated mixed microbial sewage inoculum indicated that isopropyl acetate had a 5 day BOD of 38%(1). Isopropyl acetate, at an initial concn of 0.4-3.2 ug/l, had a 52.3% 5 day BOD when incubated with an acclimated mixed microbial culture(2). In a screening test using a settled sewage seed, 2.5 ppm isopropyl acetate was found to have a 5 day BOD of 12.7%, which increased to 40% after 10 days and 49.1% after 40 days(3). Isopropyl acetate was determined to have a 5 day BOD of 61% using a settled domestic wastewater seed, and BOD's of 72%, 74% and 76% after 10, 15 and 20 days, respectively(4). When the same inoculum was added to synthetic sea water, the 5, 10, 15 and 20 day BOD's were 14%, 39%, 43%, 49%, respectively(4).

An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated for isopropyl acetate(SRC), using a water solubility of 29,000 mg/l(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Koc of isopropyl acetate is estimated as approximately 15(SRC), using a measured water solubility of 29,000 mg/l(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that isopropyl acetate is expected to have very high 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.
