SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
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.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Contact with eyes causes irritation. Prolonged contact with skin causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Ethylene glycol, glycols, and related compounds

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: An aerobic biodegradation study was conducted on a mixture of polyethylene glycol linear nonylphenyl ethers utilizing sediment inocula from the Yahagi River, Kawasaki, Japan reported 97% and 98% biodegradation after 30 days for standing and stirred samples, respectively(1). An aerobic river die-away test conducted on a mixture of polyethylene glycol linear nonylphenyl ethers with an inoculum obtained from the Arakawa River, Horikiri, Japan reported 98% and 99% biodegradation after 30 days for standing and stirred samples, respectively(1). Two metabolites, nonylphenol diethoxylate and nonylphenol ethoxylate, were identified during these aerobic degradation studies of nonyl substituted polyethylene glycol linear nonylphenyl ether(1). A series of aerobic screening studies were conducted on nonyl substituted polyethylene glycol linear nonylphenyl ethers(2). Results from the aerobic biodegradation of polyethylene glycol linearnonylphenyl ethers for a river die-away, Spanish Official (adapted for anionic compounds), OECD Spanish Official (adapted for nonanionic compounds), and OECD confirmatory test were reported as degradations of 93% in 14 days, 70% in 21 days, 68% in 8 days, 91% in 8 days, and 88% at a retention time of 3 hours, respectively(2). Under conditions simulating a river water environment (Missouri River near Columbia MO, 7.5 miles downstream from the Columbia Wastewater Treatment Plant), over 40% of the 14C ring-labeled polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether was converted to 14CO2 in 128 days; overall biodegradation was 87-97%. The water temperature was 20 deg C, dissolved oxygen 8.7 mg/L, pH 8.22, alkalinity 180 mg/L, and hardness 270 mg/L; test compound concentration was 100 ug/L(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values of <0.2 to <1.4 were measured in carp at polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether concentrations of 2.0 and 0.2 mg/L, respectively. According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values indicate that bioconcentration of this mixture in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Nonylphenol, nonylphenol monoethoxylate, and nonylphenol diethoxylate are more lipophilic and may bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms to a greater extent than higher oligomers(3).
Mobility in soil
Adsorption of nonylphenol polyethoxylates is dependent upon the number of ethoxylate units present; sludge adsorption was greatest for nonylphenol (44-48% of the added compound adsorbed) followed by nonylphenol ethoxylate (n=1) (14-15% of the added compound adsorbed to sludge), and nonylphenol diethoxylate (6-7% of the added compound adsorbed to sludge)(1). Adsorption of nonylphenyl ethoxylate (n=6) to sediment was dependent on the organic matter concentration(2). A Koc of 6.1 was measured in sediment(2). Polyethyleneglycol nonylphenyl ether (n=1-3) was observed to Kd values ranging from 450-1460 L/kg in sediment, 230-590 L/kg in sediment without organic carbon, 25-92 L/kg in silica, and 12,000-13,000 L/kg in sludge, suggesting strong sorption may occur to the solid phase in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
