FIRST AID

FIRST AID

EYE EXPOSURE - Immediately wash the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical.
DERMAL EXPOSURE - Immediately wash the contaminated skin with soap and water. If this chemical penetrates the clothing, immediately remove the clothing, wash the skin with soap and water, and get medical attention promptly.
INHALATION EXPOSURE - Move the exposed person to fresh air at once. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Get medical attention as soon as possible.
ORAL EXPOSURE - If this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention immediately.
TARGET ORGANS - Eyes, skin, and respiratory system (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 2007).

GENERAL

Move victims of inhalation exposure from the toxic environment and administer 100% humidified supplemental oxygen with assisted ventilation as required. Exposed skin and eyes should be copiously flushed with water. Ingestion may result in significant esophageal or gastrointestinal tract irritation or burns, and EMESIS SHOULD NOT BE INDUCED. Cautious gastric lavage followed by administration of activated charcoal may be of benefit if the patient is seen soon after the exposure.

INHALATION EXPOSURE

INHALATION: Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with an inhaled beta2-adrenergic agonist. Consider systemic corticosteroids in patients with significant bronchospasm.
If bronchospasm and wheezing occur, consider treatment with inhaled sympathomimetic agents.
ACUTE LUNG INJURY: Maintain ventilation and oxygenation and evaluate with frequent arterial blood gases and/or pulse oximetry monitoring. Early use of PEEP and mechanical ventilation may be needed.

DERMAL EXPOSURE

DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and jewelry and place them in plastic bags. Wash exposed areas with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes with gentle sponging to avoid skin breakdown. A physician may need to examine the area if irritation or pain persists (Burgess et al, 1999).
Treat dermal irritation or burns with standard topical therapy. Patients developing dermal hypersensitivity reactions may require treatment with systemic or topical corticosteroids or antihistamines.

EYE EXPOSURE

DECONTAMINATION: Remove contact lenses and irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature 0.9% saline or water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist after 15 minutes of irrigation, the patient should be seen in a healthcare facility.

ORAL EXPOSURE

Because of the potential for gastrointestinal tract irritation or burns, do not induce emesis.
Significant esophageal or gastrointestinal tract irritation or burns may occur following ingestion. The possible benefit of early removal of some ingested material by cautious gastric lavage must be weighed against potential complications of bleeding or perforation.
GASTRIC LAVAGE: Consider after ingestion of a potentially life-threatening amount of poison if it can be performed soon after ingestion (generally within 1 hour). Protect airway by placement in the head down left lateral decubitus position or by endotracheal intubation. Control any seizures first.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Loss of airway protective reflexes or decreased level of consciousness in unintubated patients; following ingestion of corrosives; hydrocarbons (high aspiration potential); patients at risk of hemorrhage or gastrointestinal perforation; and trivial or non-toxic ingestion.

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Administer charcoal as a slurry (240 mL water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents, 25 to 50 g in children (1 to 12 years), and 1 g/kg in infants less than 1 year old.
Observe patients with ingestion carefully for the possible development of esophageal or gastrointestinal tract irritation or burns. If signs or symptoms of esophageal irritation or burns are present, consider endoscopy to determine the extent of injury.

-RANGE OF TOXICITY

MINIMUM LETHAL EXPOSURE

GENERAL/SUMMARY

The minimum lethal human dose to this agent has not been delineated.

ROUTE OF EXPOSURE

2-Chloroacetophenone is estimated to be lethal in humans at an exposure of 0.85 mg/L for 10 minutes (HSDB , 1996). The estimated lethal concentration for a human is 8500 mg-min/m(3) for 10 minutes (ACGIH, 1991).
Exposure to high concentrations of 2-chloroacetophenone may result in acute pulmonary edema after a latent time period of 8 hours to several days (HSDB , 1996). Severe exposures produce pulmonary congestion and edema (ACGIH, 1991).
Inhalation of a high concentration of 2-chloroacetophenone resulted in death by pulmonary edema (Hathaway, 1991).

ANIMAL DATA

Mice were found to be less sensitive to short-term inhalation exposure of 2-chloroacetophenone than were rats, rabbits, or guinea pigs. Signs of intoxication by inhalation were lacrimation, salivation, lethargy, and labored breathing. Death by asphyxiation resulted from lung damage, which was attributed to pulmonary congestion, hemorrhage, and edema (ACGIH, 1991).

MAXIMUM TOLERATED EXPOSURE

GENERAL/SUMMARY

The maximum tolerated human exposure to this agent has not been delineated.

CASE REPORTS

Volunteers exposed to levels between 200 to 340 mg/m(3) of 2-chloroacetophenone could not tolerate an exposure greater than 30 seconds. Effects of exposure were lacrimation, blurred vision, irritation of the nose, rhinorrhea, and burning of the eyes and throat. Lesser effects included burning in the chest, dyspnea, and nausea (Hathaway, 1991).
Overexposure of 2-chloroacetophenone to the eyes can cause permanent partial opacity (ACGIH, 1991).
Irritation and burning of the skin can be experienced (ACGIH, 1991).
The minimum effective concentration of 2-chloroacetophenone, multiplied by the time of exposure, was observed at 20 to 30 mg-min/m(3) (ACGIH, 1991).

ANIMAL DATA

Anesthetized rabbits experienced more severe effects when 2-chloroacetophenone was applied to the eyes than unanesthetized animals. Effects were corneal opacity, stromal edema, iridocyclitis and hypopyon. Some animals were found to have serious degenerative changes occur in the corneas (HSDB , 1996).
Topical and intradermal application of 2-chloroacetophenone on guinea pigs resulted in sensitization and delayed hypersensitivity. When applied as Mace it was found to be more irritating to the skin and more allergenic. Reactions to challenging doses of 2-chloroacetophenone included erythema, edema, induration, necrosis, and eschar formation (ACGIH, 1991; HSDB , 1996).

Listed as: Chloroacetophenone
Extinguishing Method(s): 2

2: "Water or foam may cause frothing" refers to a situation where materials with a flash point above 212 degrees F (100 degrees C) are burning. Potentially violent frothing can be dangerous to fire fighters near the burning liquid. However, when highly viscous liquids are burning, fire fighters can intentionally cause frothing on the liquid surface to prevent further introduction of oxygen.

Cool containers of 2-chloroacetophenone with flooding quantities of water. Poisonous gases may be produced in fire, use water spray to knock down vapors (AAR, 1994; ((CHRIS, 1996)).

When fighting fire use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide (AAR, 1994).

COMBUSTION TOXICITY

2-chloroacetophenone is a combustible solid which may emit poisonous gases when burning (NIOSH , 1996; (CHRIS, 1996)).

DUST/VAPOR HAZARD

Contact with 2-chloroacetophenone dust and vapor should be avoided. It is poisonous if inhaled or exposed to the skin. Use water spray to knock down particulates and vapors ((CHRIS, 1996)) AAR, 1994).

Inhalation of 2-chloroacetophenone vapor or dust can irritate the upper respiratory tract causing tearing, burning of the eyes and difficulty in breathing. Exposure to higher concentrations may cause acute pulmonary edema after a latent period of hours to several days ((CHRIS, 1996)) NJFS, 1996).

External exposure to the vapor and dust of 2-chloroacetophenone can cause irritation of the skin and eyes. Dermal burns and permanent partial opacity of the cornea are two of the more severe effects of exposure ((CHRIS, 1996); ACGIH, 1991).

REACTIVITY HAZARD

2-Chloroacetophenone is dangerous when heated to decomposition, emitting toxic fumes of chlorine (HSDB , 1996).

When heated, water reacts with 2-chloroacetophenone to release chlorine (OHM/TADS , 1996).

This compound reacts with water, steam and strong oxidizers. The reaction with water is slow and generates hydrogen chloride. This reaction is not hazardous (NIOSH , 1996; (CHRIS, 1996)).

2-Chloroacetophenone reacts with metals causing mild corrosion ((CHRIS, 1996)).

EVACUATION PROCEDURES

SUMMARY

Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (ERG, 2004)

Data presented from the Emergency Response Guidebook Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances are for use when a spill has occurred and there is no fire. If there is a fire, or if a fire is involved, evacuation information presented under FIRE - PUBLIC SAFETY EVACUATION DISTANCES should be used.
Generally, a small spill is one that involves a single, small package such as a drum containing up to approximately 200 liters, a small cylinder, or a small leak from a large package. A large spill is one that involves a spill from a large package, or multiple spills from many small packages.
Suggested distances to protect from vapors of toxic-by-inhalation and/or water-reactive materials during the first 30 minutes following the spill.

CONTAINMENT/WASTE TREATMENT OPTIONS

SUMMARY

SPILL OR LEAK PRECAUTIONS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 153 (ERG, 2004)
- ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
- Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
- Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
- Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
- Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.
- DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.
RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE CLOTHING - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 153 (ERG, 2004)
- Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
- Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection.
- Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection. fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible.
Keep all sources of ignition away from the area where 2-chloroacetophenone is located. Keep the chemical and all run-off water out of sewers and water sources (AAR, 1994).
During cleanup use a vacuum or wet method to reduce dust. Do not dry sweep this chemical (NJFS, 1996).

SMALL LEAK/SPILL

Using paper towels or a similar material, absorb spills and place in a fume hood to evaporate. Burn the cleaning material (ITI, 1988).

WASTE TREATMENT OPTIONS

PHYSICAL TREATMENT

Dispose of small quantities of 2-chloroacetophenone by burning in a suitable combustion chamber with an effluent gas cleaning device. Use paper or other flammable material to fuel the burn (HSDB , 1996).
Consider reclamation for large quantities. If this is not possible, dissolve 2-chloroacetophenone in a flammable solvent and atomize it in a suitable combustion chamber with an effluent gas cleaning device (HSDB , 1996).
Waste management activities associated with material disposition are unique to individual situations. Proper waste characterization and decisions regarding waste management should be coordinated with the appropriate local, state, or federal authorities to ensure compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.

-ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD MANAGEMENT

POLLUTION HAZARD

Air pollution risk is high (OHM/TADS , 1996).

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND KINETICS

Atmospheric degradation of vapor-phase 2-chloroacetophenone occurs in an ambient atmosphere by reacting with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. Estimated half-life is 9.2 days (HSDB , 1996).

WATER

SURFACE WATER
- Volatilization of 2-chloroacetophenone in water is slow. Aquatic bioconcentration and adsorption to sediment are not anticipated to be important fate processes (HSDB , 1996).

SOIL

TERRESTRIAL
- 2-chloroacetophenone is expected to leach when released into soil (HSDB , 1996).

ABIOTIC DEGRADATION

2-Chloroacetophenone sinks in water and may smother benthic life. Contact with water sources may cause hydrolyzation or release of corrosive vapors (OHM/TADS , 1996).

BIOACCUMULATION

BIOCONCENTRATION FACTOR

The bioconcentration factor for this compound is estimated to be 23 using a recommended regression-derived equation (HSDB , 1996).
Using an estimated log bioconcentration factor of 2.09, 2-chloroacetophenone's bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is not considered important environmentally (HSDB , 1996).
