SYNONYM REFERENCE
- (Clayton & Clayton, 1994; Budavari, 1996; EPA, 1990; Hayes & Laws, 1991; Howard, 1991; HSDB , 2001; OHM/TADS , 2001; RTECS , 2001)
USES/FORMS/SOURCES
Chlordane products were used for fire ant control in power transformers and as insecticides for termites, home, garden and agricultural applications (HSDB , 2001). The EPA canceled all commercial use of chlordane in the United States as of April 14, 1988 (ATSDR, 1994).
Chlordane is a viscous amber liquid, with a sharp odor (CHRIS , 2001; HSDB , 2001; Lewis, 1997). The technical grade of chlordane is a brown liquid (HSDB , 2001). Chlordane can also exist in white, crystalline form (HSDB , 2001). Chlordane is an organochlorine insecticide and a member of the cyclodiene family. The technical grade consists of a mixture of approximately 1:1 cis- and trans-chlordane, and 4 to 10 percent heptachlor (Clayton & Clayton, 1994). Budavari (2000) describes the commercial product as a mixture containing 60 to 75 percent of the pure compound and 25 to 40 percent of related compounds. A variety of dusts, powders, and solutions in kerosene containing 2 to 80 percent chlordane are available (CHRIS , 2001).
Chlordane is synthesized from hexachlorocylopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, and chlorine in a Diels-Alder reaction (Ashford, 1994). Chlordane does not occur naturally (HSDB , 2001).
SYNONYM EXPLANATION
- Technical chlordane has CAS number 12789-03-6.
- Alpha- (or cis-) chlordane has CAS number 5103-71-9.
- Trans- (or beta-) chlordane has CAS number 5103-74-2.
- Gamma-chlordane has CAS number 5566-34-7.
-CLINICAL EFFECTS
GENERAL CLINICAL EFFECTS
- Chlordane may be toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and dermal or eye exposure. It is a persistent CNS stimulant. Technical grade chlordane is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes; however, this may be more true for the early formulations that contained the contaminant hexachlorocyclopentadiene.
- General symptoms of chlordane poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, gastritis, abdominal pain, anuria, headache, coughing, excitability, irritability, confusion, delirium, muscle spasms, dizziness, paresthesia, weakness, ataxia, loss of coordination, tremor, violent clonic/tonic convulsions or epileptiform seizures, and pulmonary edema, followed by CNS depression, coma and death with respiratory arrest.
- The liver and kidney may also be affected in acute exposure. Elevated white blood cell counts were noted. Exposures to excessive concentrations have been associated with rare cases of aplastic anemia. Diplopia and blurred vision have been reported after exposure.
- Chronic exposure may cause headache, GI symptoms, fatigue, memory deficits, personality changes, decreased attention span, numbness or paresthesias, disorientation, loss of coordination, dry eyes, and seizures. Toxicity may also result in liver, spleen and kidney damage.
- Several cases of optic neuritis have been reported from treatment of homes with chlordane for termites.
- Chlordane may be a potential occupational carcinogen.
- POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004)
TOXIC; may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with some of these materials will irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
ACUTE CLINICAL EFFECTS
- Chlordane is a persistent, fat-soluble central nervous system stimulant (Baselt, 2000). It can be absorbed by inhalation, ingestion, and contact with the skin (Bingham et al, 2001; Hathaway et al, 1996; Sittig, 1991). Dermal absorption can be rapid and fatal (Hathaway et al, 1996). The fatal human dose has been estimated to be 6 to 60 grams (Lewis, 2000).
- Chlordane can also be absorbed in substantial quantities through the skin from contaminated soil; multiple repeated washings with soap and water may be required to remove residual amounts from the skin (Wester et al, 1992). There was a report of fatal dermal exposure, although there was prior occupational exposure by other routes in this case (Derbes et al, 1955).
- Chlordane formulations manufactured in the USA before 1951 irritated the eyes and mucous membranes. This does not seem to occur with more recent formulations (Bingham et al, 2001), but may still be the case with formulations manufactured in other countries.
- Chlordane is moderately toxic (Bingham et al, 2001). Acute toxicity, however, depends on the solvent (ACGIH, 1991). Symptoms begin 45 minutes to several hours after exposure (Sittig, 1991). Onset of seizures may be 1/2 to 3 hours after exposure, and death or recovery usually occurs within several hours to one day (Hathaway et al, 1996).
- Like other organochlorines, chlordane is a CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM STIMULANT in acute exposures (Baselt, 2000).
General symptoms of chlordane poisoning from any route of exposure include malaise, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anuria, headache, hyperesthesia, paresthesia, apprehension, excitability, irritability, confusion, agitation, dizziness, delirium, twitching, tremors, muscle spasms, loss of coordination, ataxia, pallor and coughing (Baselt, 2000; Budavari, 1996; EPA, 1988; EPA, 1985) Garrettson et al, 1984-85; (HSDB , 2001; Morgan, 1993; Zenz, 1994). More serious effects include clonic/tonic convulsions or epileptiform seizures, pulmonary edema resulting in cyanosis and dyspnea, respiratory depression, delayed onset of CNS depression preceded by CNS excitation, coma, and death from respiratory arrest (Baselt, 2000; Budavari, 1996; EPA, 1988; EPA, 1985) Garrettson et al, 1984-85; (HSDB , 2001; Morgan, 1993; Zenz, 1994). Convulsions range from myoclonic jerking to violent seizures; coma may or may not occur with convulsions (EPA, 1985). Convulsions may appear as an early sign, in the absence of the above symptoms (Morgan, 1993). In some cases of exposure to chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, convulsions have been so intense that compression fractures of the vertebrae have occurred (Stranger & Kerridge, 1968). Acute exposures can produce recurring convulsions over several days for the more slowly metabolized compounds (EPA, 1988; EPA, 1985). Organochlorine insecticides interfere with the flux of cations across the nerve cell membranes and increase their excitability (Morgan, 1993). With chlordane, the earliest signs may be excitability and hyperactive (overactive) reflexes (HSDB , 2001). Paresthesia (tingling) in the hands and arms were early signs in one case of chlordane poisoning (Barnes, 1967). The victim may also be confused (Derbes et al, 1955). Nausea and vomiting may be more likely if the product formulation includes petroleum distillate solvents (Grant, 1986). Diplopia and blurred vision plus nausea, vomiting and convulsions developed in a girl who ingested one teaspoon of chlordane in a mixture of pine oil, petroleum distillate and polyethylene glycol. She recovered in five days (Grant & Schuman, 1993).
- The liver and kidney can also be affected in acute chlordane exposures. Chlordane is a hepatic enzyme inducer (Garrettson et al, 1984-85). Anuria (lack of urine) occurred in a fatal case of chlordane ingestion. Degeneration of the renal tubule epithelium was seen at autopsy (HSDB , 2001).
- Acute exposures to chlordane can affect blood components.
Increased white blood cell counts have been reported in acute chlordane intoxication (Olanoff et al, 1983). Exposures to high amounts of chlordane have been associated with rare individual cases of aplastic anemia, a result of general failure of the generation of all the formed blood elements (Morgan, 1989). Chlordane exposure has been related to aplastic anemia and may cause sclerodermatous changes, especially in the hands, sometimes with Raynaud syndrome (Goldfrank, 1998).
- In a review on the toxicity of chlordane, many signs and symptoms attributed to acute chlordane toxicity were not apparent; only tremor and convulsions were found (Grutsch & Khasawinah, 1991). Another study reported that tremor may be essentially absent (Hayes & Laws, 1991).
- Although chlordane accumulates in fat, it is rapidly removed; little remains 20 days after exposure ends (Zenz, 1994). Based on one case of human poisoning, the half-life for distribution was 7 hours, and for elimination was 34 days (Hathaway et al, 1991).
- Metabolites can arise from two metabolic pathways in rats, and include trans-chlordane, 1,2-dichlorochlordene, oxychlordane, 1-hydroxy-2-chlorodene, 1-hydroxy-2-chloro-2,3-epoxychlordene, chlordene chlorohydrin, and 1,2-trans-di-hydroxydihydrochlordene (Hayes & Laws, 1991).
CHRONIC CLINICAL EFFECTS
- Chlordane is lipophilic and accumulates in the body fat (Bingham et al, 2001; Lewis, 1998). CUMULATIVE TOXICITY may therefore be an important consideration in chronic exposures. In one study of persons exposed occupationally for periods of 1 to 15 years, there were no adverse effects (Fishbein et al, 1964). No apparent ill effects occurred in an occupational population exposed to 5 mg/m(3) for 1 to 3 years (ACGIH, 1991).
- Low-level chronic exposures in chlordane-treated homes may be common. In a study of 68 persons (mean age 33 years) exposed to chlordane in their homes, the following symptoms were observed in varying degrees: headaches, GI difficulties, fatigue, memory deficits, personality changes, decreased attention span, numbness or paresthesias, disorientation, loss of coordination, dry eyes, and seizures (Spyker et al, 1989).
- Chronic exposure to chlordane can affect the nervous system. Recurring seizures may be evident. Jacksonian and grand mal seizures occurred in one case of chronic exposure mainly by the dermal route (Barnes, 1967).
- At least some of the effects may be reversible once exposure ceases. In one case, a nurseryman who suffered recurring grand mal seizures from exposure to chlordane showed normal EEG patterns by one year after discontinuation of exposure (Barnes, 1967).
- Several cases of optic neuritis have been reported from treatment of homes with chlordane for termites (EPA, 1990; Grant, 1986). Once applied, chlordane remains effective for more than 26 YEARS (Bingham et al, 2001).
- Chronic chlordane exposure can damage liver, kidneys and spleen due to its cumulative poisoning effects (Baselt, 2000; Lewis, 1998).
Chronic absorption commonly induces hepatomegaly in humans and experimental animals. Repeated ingestion in rats caused degenerative changes in the liver (Ambrose et al, 1953). Enlarged cells and nuclei and inclusions were seen in male rats (Ambrose et al, 1953). Indeed, the liver was the only organ showing signs of toxicity in chronic experimental animal studies (ACGIH, 1991). The liver was the most affected organ after chronic dermal application in mice; centrilobular necrosis was produced (Frings & O'Tousa, 1950). Animals given chlordane chronically have also shown degenerative changes in the renal tubules (Lewis, 2000).
- The blood can also be affected.
Chlordane exposure has been associated with leukemias and thrombocytopenic purpura, although a firm link is lacking (Goldfrank, 1998). Chlordane may have induced rare cases of megaloblastic anemia. A report by Infante et al (1978) is representative of a number of case reports implicating organochlorines as possible causal agents for a variety of blood dyscrasias (Sharp et al, 1986). These have generally involved exposure in homes treated for termites (Epstein & Ozonoff, 1987).
- Presence of serum anti-nuclear antibodies, a sign of autoimmune disease, was associated with exposure to insecticides including chlordane in a cross-sectional study of 332 adults living in a prairie environment in Canada (Rosenberg et al, 1999). Because of mixed exposures to other insecticides, including carbamate, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor and lindane, this effect could not be attributed specifically to chlordane.
- Chlordane is not a sensitizer (EPA, 1988).

SUMMARY
- FIRST AID - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004)
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. Wash skin with soap and water. Keep victim warm and quiet. In case of burns, immediately cool affected skin for as long as possible with cold water. Do not remove clothing if adhering to skin. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
FIRST AID EYE EXPOSURE - Immediately wash the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately. Primary eye protection (spectacles or goggles), as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), should be used when working with this chemical. Face shields should only be worn over primary eye protection. Contact lens use is not recommended when working with this chemical. If contact lenses are worn, then appropriate eye and face protection devices must be used. OSHA emphasizes that dusty and/or chemical environments may represent an additional hazard to contact lens wearers. 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 - Central nervous system, eyes, lungs, liver and kidneys [in animals: liver cancer](National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 2007; OSHA, 2000).
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. Because of the potential for rapid onset of CNS depression or seizures with possible aspiration of gastric contents, 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. 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 - 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.
INGESTION EXPOSURE - Because of the potential for gastrointestinal tract irritation or central nervous system depression, DO NOT induce emesis. 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.
-RANGE OF TOXICITY
MINIMUM LETHAL EXPOSURE
A 1984 WHO study estimated the acute lethal dose of chlordane to be between 25 and 50 mg/kg. However, the estimation method and documentation were not identified (ATSDR, 1994). Human lethal dose is 100 mg/kg (OHM/TADS , 2001). It is estimated that the fatal oral dose for adults is between 6 and 60 grams. The onset of symptoms will begin within 45 minutes to several hours after ingestion. Convulsions have been induced by as little as 2.25 grams (HSDB , 2001). A 30 gram topical skin application to an adult resulted in death in 40 minutes (HSDB , 2001). One person receiving an accidental skin application of 25 percent solution of chlordane (amounting to something over 30 g of technical chlordane) developed symptoms within about 40 minutes and died, apparently of respiratory failure, before medical attention was obtained (Lewis, 1996). One suicidal person ingested 6 g of chlordane in talc and experienced mouth burns, serious gastritis, diffuse pneumonia, anuria, mania, convulsions, and, finally, death after 9.5 hours (HSDB , 2001). The lethal dose of chlordane for humans is not known, but has been estimated to be in the range of 6 to 60 g (0.2 to 2 ounces); however, oral doses as low as 2 to 4 g have been fatal in cases involving preexisting liver damage (Lewis, 1996). Fatal human dose has been estimated at 6 g (ACGIH, 1996).
Dermal doses of 50 mg/kg/day in cottonseed oil were fatal to all rats after three or four days, while the same dose given orally for 15 days caused toxic symptoms and some deaths. These results suggest that chlordane was more toxic by the dermal route, and exhibited cumulative toxicity (Ambrose et al, 1953). The minimum oral toxic dose for a young calf is about 25 mg/kg (HSDB , 2001). Technical chlordane was fed to rats for 2 years at various dosage levels. Results indicated that mortality increased at the 300 ppm concentration, but not at concentrations of 150 ppm or lower (Clayton & Clayton, 1994).
MAXIMUM TOLERATED EXPOSURE
Workers exposed to 5 mg/m(3) for 1 to 3 years did not experience any illnesses (ACGIH, 1996). Convulsions have been caused by as little as 2.25 g in humans (ACGIH, 1996). A person survived the accidental ingestion of approximately 300 mL of a 75% chlordane solution (215 g chlordane). The patient experienced rapid onset of respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological effects (Hathaway et al, 1996). In a study conducted before newer production methods refined the product and reduced the toxicity of chlordane, 22 workers exposed to air concentrations exceeding 5 mg/m(3) were examined. The workers showed none of the symptoms manifested in exposed animals. Symptoms looked for included loss of weight, anorexia, nervous disorders, and disturbances of vision and respiration (ACGIH, 1996). Exposure of humans to 7% chlordane vapor for 15 minutes per day every 3 days for 12 weeks, and again one year later, had no apparent ill effects (Clayton & Clayton, 1994). No increases in cases of neurologic, gastrointestinal, or dermatologic complaints were seen in the week after the public water supply in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, became contaminated with 6.6 ppm chlordane (Anon, 1981). Acute symptoms reported immediately following a chlordane termiticide application included headache (22 percent), sore throat and respiratory infections (16 percent), fatigue (14 percent), sleeping difficulties, blurred vision, weakness and fainting, or confusion (Menconi et al, 1988). The source of these data was a health questionnaire mailed to 85 private households previously treated with chlordane for termite control. Chronic health conditions reported include sinusitis (21 percent), bronchitis (13 percent), migraine (8 percent), dermatitis (8 percent), asthma (5 percent), neuralgia or neuritis (5 percent), and disease of the ovary and uterus (4 percent).
Mice were exposed to saturated chlordane vapor (in the absence of hexachlorocyclopentadiene) for 25 days without apparent ill effects (Hathaway et al, 1996). The lowest dietary level of chlordane which induced liver microsomal oxidases in rats was 50 ppm for 2 weeks (Den Tonkelaar & Van Esch, 1974). Khasawinah & Grutsch (1989) report a long-term no-observed-effect level (NOEL) of 1 ppm chlordane in diet from a 24-month tumorigenicity and chronic toxicity study in mice. Interferences with reproduction resulted when rats and mice received dosages above 30 mg/kg of chlordane; however, these effects were reversible (Hathaway et al, 1996). Eight cattle sprayed with a 2% solution of chlordane 12 times at 2-week intervals exhibited no signs of systemic intoxication or local irritation (Clayton & Clayton, 1994). Pigeons that were exposed continuously for 60 days to vapors from surfaces treated with chlordane at 1000 mg/sq ft showed no apparent ill effects (Clayton & Clayton, 1994).

Editor's Note: This material is not listed in the Emergency Response Guidebook. Based on the material's physical and chemical properties, toxicity, or chemical group, a guide has been assigned. For additional technical information, contact one of the emergency response telephone numbers listed under Public Safety Measures. POTENTIAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004) 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 and poison 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.
Chlordane is a flammable material; it may be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames (EPA, 1985). When heated to decomposition, chlordane emits toxic fumes of chlorine (Lewis, 2000). Irritating and toxic hydrogen chloride and phosgene gases may be formed when kerosene solution of the compound burns (CHRIS , 2001). Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back (EPA, 1985). Run-off to sewers may create fire or explosion hazards (EPA, 1985). Containers may explode in the heat of fire (EPA, 1985). Vapors are toxic and explosive indoors, outdoors and in sewers (EPA, 1985). Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and special protective clothing during fire fighting activities (EPA, 1985).

- TANK OR CAR/TRAILER LOAD FIRE PRECAUTIONS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004)
Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.

- Let fire burn unless the flow can safely be stopped or contained (AAR, 2000).
- Apply water from as far from the fire as possible; apply it in flooding amounts as fog; solid water streams may not be effective (AAR, 2000).
- Use flooding amounts of water to cool affected containers (AAR, 2000).
- Carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical also may be used to combat the fire (AAR, 2000).
- It may be ineffective to use water to extinguish a fire (CHRIS , 2001).
- Flooding quantities of water may be used as fog (HSDB , 2001).
- Containers of chlordane exposed to fire may be cooled with water (CHRIS , 2001).
When heated to decomposition, chlordane emits toxic fumes of chlorine (Lewis, 2000). When a kerosene solution of chlordane burns, hydrogen chloride and phosgene gases my be formed. These may be both irritating and toxic (CHRIS , 2001). Hazardous decomposition gases and vapors include: hydrogen chloride, chlorine, phosgene, and carbon monoxide (HSDB , 2001). When chlordane is close to its boiling point, it decomposes to chlorine, phosgene, and hydrogen chloride (HSDB , 2001). Fires may produce poisonous gases (CHRIS , 2001). The formation of chlorine and hydrogen chloride gases will occur at temperatures over 200 degrees C (HSDB , 2001).
EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Chlordane may be ignited by heat, sparks or flames (EPA, 1985).
- Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back (EPA, 1985).
- Run-off to sewers may create fire or explosion hazards (EPA, 1985).
- Containers may explode in the heat of fire (EPA, 1985).
- Vapors are toxic and explosive indoors, outdoors, and in sewers (EPA, 1985).
DUST/VAPOR HAZARD

- Chlordane degrades under natural environmental conditions to photo-isomers, such as photo-cis-chlordane, which are more toxic to certain animals than chlordane and also showed higher bioaccumulation (EPA, 1985).
- When in the presence of alkaline reagents, chlordane will lose its chlorine. Chlordane should not be formulated with any solvent, carrier, diluent or emulsifier which has an alkaline reaction (Budavari, 2000).
- It is incompatible with strong oxidizers and alkaline reagents (NIOSH , 2001).
- Irritating and toxic hydrogen chloride and phosgene gases may be formed when kerosene-based chlordane solution burns (CHRIS , 2001).
- Chlordane is corrosive to iron and zinc (HSDB , 2001).
- Chlordane will attack some forms of plastics, rubber, and coatings (HSDB , 2001).

TEEL-1: The airborne concentration (expressed as ppm [parts per million] or mg/m(3) [milligrams per cubic meter]) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic, nonsensory effects. However, these effects are not disabling and are transient and reversible upon cessation of exposure. TEEL-2: The airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m(3)) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting, adverse health effects or an impaired ability to escape. TEEL-3: The airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m(3)) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience life-threatening adverse health effects or death.

CONTAINMENT/WASTE TREATMENT OPTIONS
SPILL OR LEAK PRECAUTIONS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004) Fully encapsulating, vapor protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE CLOTHING - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004) Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible.
SMALL SPILL PRECAUTIONS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004) Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Small spills of chlordane may be absorbed with paper towels, then evaporated under a hood (ITI, 1995). Containment of spill on land (AAR, 2000): To contain solid or liquid material, dig a pit, pond, lagoon, or holding area. To dike surface flow, use soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane, or foamed concrete. Use fly ash, cement powder, or commercial sorbents to absorb bulk liquid. To immobilize spill, apply "universal" gelling agent.
Containment of spill in water (AAR, 2000): Trap materials at the bottom of the water by making use of natural deep water pockets, excavated lagoons, or sand bag barriers. Apply activated carbon to spilled material. Use activated carbon at the rate of ten times the amount of chlordane spilled. This is effective if spilled concentration is approximately 10 ppm. Immobilized material should be removed with the use of mechanical dredges or lifts.
Containment of spill in air (AAR, 2000):
Chlordane is readily dehydrochlorinated in alkali to form "nontoxic" products, a reaction catalyzed by traces of iron. The environmental hazards of the products are uncertain. Chlordane is completely dechlorinated by sodium in isopropyl alcohol (Sittig, 1991). "Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number U036, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste" (HSDB , 2001). Container Disposal (HSDB , 2001): "Group I Containers: Combustible containers from organic or metallo-organic pesticides (except organic mercury, lead, cadmium, or arsenic compounds) should be disposed of in pesticide incinerators or in specified landfill sites." "Group II Containers: Non-combustible containers from organic or metallo- organic pesticides (except organic mercury, lead, cadmium, or arsenic compounds) must first be triple-rinsed. Containers that are in good condition may be returned to the manufacturer or formulator of the pesticide product, or to a drum reconditioner for reuse with the same type of pesticide product, if such reuse is legal under Department of Transportation regulations (e.g., 49 CFR 173.28). Containers that are not to be reused should be punctured and transported to a scrap metal facility for recycling, disposal, or burial in a designated landfill."
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.
For in situ amelioration, chlordane will be removed by activated carbon. Peat moss or straw will also absorb solvent chlordane (OHM/TADS , 2001). Chlordane is a potential candidate for liquid injection incineration at a temperature range of 650 to 1600 degrees C and a residence time of 0.1 to 2 seconds. It is also a potential candidate for rotary kiln incineration at a temperature range of 820 to 1600 degrees C and residence times of seconds for liquids and gases, and hours for solids (HSDB , 2001). Chlordane can be dissolved in a flammable solvent and incinerated if conditions are controlled. To removed halo acids from the effluent gas, the incinerator should include an afterburner and an acid scrubber. Proper ash disposal procedures should be in place (ATSDR, 1994).
-ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD MANAGEMENT
POLLUTION HAZARD
- Approximately 4,422 pounds of chlordane were released into the atmosphere in the United States in 1990 (ATSDR, 1994).
- Chlordane is an extremely persistent pollutant (ATSDR, 1994).
- Chlordane has a high bioconcentration factor and is subject to long range transport. Due to these two factors, chlordane is prevalent in the Arctic food web (ATSDR, 1994).
- Due to its use as a termiticide, EPA estimates that 52 million people have been exposed to chlordane in their homes. However, because some foods, especially fish, are contaminated with chlordane, the actual number of people exposed to chlordane is greater than 52 million (ATSDR, 1994).
- Chlordane is not used in or imported to the United States. It is still produced in the United States for export. There is no information available on export volumes (ATSDR, 1994).
- Chlordane lingers in soil from past use and also is present in the atmosphere due to volatilization from water and soil as well as wind erosion (ATSDR, 1994).
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND KINETICS
Chlordane exists mainly in the vapor phase in air, where it degrades by photolysis and hydroxyl radical reaction (ATSDR, 1994). During 1988 and 1989 air samples were collected at Sable Island off the coast of Scotland. Mean concentration of chlordanes + nonachlors was 15 pg/m(3). The results illustrate the importance of atmospheric transport in delivering contaminants to the Scotian Shelf (Bidleman et al, 1992). Long-range transport of chlordane will occur, as it has been detected in atmospheres of remote regions (Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, as well as the Arctic) (HSDB, 2004). An overwhelming majority (96%) of chlordane in the air exists in the sorbed state (HSDB, 2004). If released to the atmosphere, chlordane will react in the vapor phase with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals at an estimated half-life rate of 6.2 hours, suggesting that this reaction is the dominant chemical removal process (Howard, 1991). Direct photolysis of chlordane should not occur. UV radiation above 280 nm is not absorbed by chlordane (HSDB, 2004). The half-life of chlordane in air ranges from a low of 5.2H to a high of 2.2D (Howard, 1991).
SURFACE WATER In water, chlordane will adsorb to the stream bed and suspended sediments. It will also volatilize (ATSDR, 1994). Using the EPA model EXAMS, it is estimated that the volatilization half-lives of chlordane from a pond and lake are less than 10 days (ATSDR, 1994). The rate at which chlordane will volatilize from water depends upon amount, size, and percent organic material of the suspended material in the water. The rate of volatilization is attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediments (ATSDR, 1994). Temperature, wind, and water turbulence will also affect the rate of volatilization of chlordane (ATSDR, 1994). Volatilization kinetics of chlordane may be faster than adsorption kinetics. Chlordane volatilizes reasonable rapidly from water (ATSDR, 1994). To determine the persistence of chlordane in river water, sealed samples were placed under sunlight and artificial fluorescent lights. The initial concentration of chlordane in the samples was 10 mcg/L. After 1 hour, 100% of the original compound remained; 90% remained after 1 week; 85% remained at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks (HSDB, 2004; Verschueren, 2001; ATSDR, 1994). In another study, 2.3 to 50.7% of chlordane added to three samples of river water remained in the aqueous phase for more than 12 weeks (ATSDR, 1994). When mixed with river water, 15% was lost in 2 weeks, but the concentration then stabilized for 8 weeks (OHM/TADS , 2001). If released to water, chlordane is not expected to undergo significant hydrolysis, oxidation or direct photolysis. The volatilization half-life from a river 1-meter deep and flowing 1 m/sec with a wind velocity of 3 m/sec is estimated to be 7.3 (for gamma-isomers) to 7.9 hrs (for trans-isomers) at 23 degrees C. Volatilization half-lives from a representative environmental pond (2 m deep), river (3 m deep) and lake (5 m deep) are estimated to be 18 to 26, 3.6 to 5.2 and 14.4 to 20.6 days. However, adsorption to sediment significantly attenuates the importance of volatilization (HSDB, 2004). The aquatic hydrolysis of chlordane is not considered significant (Howard, 1991). The half-life of chlordane in surface water ranges from a low of 283D to a high of 3.8Y (Howard, 1991).
GROUND WATER Chlordane is not expected to leach to underground aquifers, due to its insolubility in water (EPA, 1988). Chlordane was detected in various groundwater resources in New Jersey, indicating that leaching can occur (Howard, 1991). The half-life of chlordane in groundwater ranges from a low of 566D to a high of 7.6Y (Howard, 1991).
TERRESTRIAL The half-life of chlordane in soil is approximately 1 year (Hartley & Kidd, 1990). Chlordane may persist in soil for more than 20 years. It appears that volatilization is the only major removal mechanism for chlordane in soil (ATSDR, 1994). Batch solubility tests showed chlordane solubility was increased from 32 mcg/L in pure water to over 400 mcg/L in the presence of humic substances. The humic materials were extracted from soil and rocks near a hazardous waste site. Chlordane was shown to bind tightly to solid materials, while column studies showed that humic substances enhanced the mobility of chlordane (Johnsonlogan et al, 1992). In general, chlordane will remain for greater than 20 years in some soils; in other soils it will persist for much shorter periods. At subterranean sites treated with chlordane on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus, greater than 70% of the chlordane remained 7 years after the application (ATSDR, 1994). Chlordane is relatively persistent in the environment. It is adsorbed to soil solids; plants will absorb it from soils. Residues rarely persist in detectable concentrations for more than 5 years (Clayton & Clayton, 1994). When sprayed upon soil surfaces (in particular, moist soil), chlordane will volatilize significantly. Volatile losses will be restricted if there is shallow incorporation into the soil (HSDB, 2004). Generally, soils containing organic material in small amounts and sandy soils retain chlordane less than those soils that contain more clay or organic matter. The most important factor is soil moisture. Organic vapors are more strongly adsorbed in dry soil, therefore decreasing the volatilization rate. The rate of volatilization is not affected by crop cover (ATSDR, 1994). Chlordane is not expected to leach, since it is insoluble in water and should adsorb to the soil surface; thus it should not reach underground aquifers (EPA, 1988). However, its detection in various groundwater resources in New Jersey indicates that leaching can occur (Howard, 1991). Chlordane tends to stay in the top 20 cm of most soils; it will stay in this level for more than 20 years in some soils (ATSDR, 1994). The soil half-life of chlordane ranges from a low of 283D to a high of 3.8Y (Howard, 1991).
ABIOTIC DEGRADATION
- Chlordane persists in the environment, remaining adsorbed to soil for more than 20 years. Chlordane from surface applications can significantly volatilize. Volatilization is the only removal process for chlordane in soil, other than some plant absorption. Removal by volatilization is affected by chlordane's incorporation into underlying soils, soil type, and soil moisture content. Dry soils adsorb chlordane more strongly. Leaching to groundwater is not expected due to chlordane's adsorptive properties and its relative insolubility. Biodegradation in soil is slow (HSDB, 2004; ATSDR, 1994; Clayton & Clayton, 1994; Howard, 1991; EPA, 1988).
- Chlordane volatilizes somewhat rapidly from water, but will adsorb to suspended material and sediments. Volatilization may occur more quickly than adsorption. Volatilization is reduced by adsorption and the rate of volatilization will depend on the organic content of suspended material in the water, water turbulence, temperature, and wind. Hydrolysis, oxidation, and direct photolysis are not likely significant (HSDB, 2004; ATSDR, 1994).
- Long-range transport of chlordane in the atmosphere occurs. Most atmospheric levels (96%) are in a sorbed state. The vapor phase is removed from the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals and photolytic degradation (HSDB , 2001; ATSDR, 1994; Howard, 1991).
BIODEGRADATION
- In soil, the degradation rate of chlordane has ranged from 4.05-28.33% per year. The mean half-life has been observed to be 3.3 years (Howard, 1991).
- Chlordane has been extensively degraded by lignin-degrading white rot fungi, Phanerochaete chrysosporium (ATSDR, 1994).
- At best, chlordane slowly biodegrades in soil. This finding is based on the presence of chlordane residue in soil at least 10 years after the last known application (Howard, 1991).
BIOACCUMULATION
Chlordane residues have been detected in herring and salmon in Antarctica (Buser et al, 1992). Various estuarine fish in four coastal states were found to have chlordane concentrations of 118-290 ng/g. These measurements were taken between 1972 and 1976 (Howard, 1991). In 1978, a study of various species from 22 watersheds near the Great Lakes showed an average concentration of 576 ppb chlordane (Howard, 1991).
The eggs of multiple falcon species were collected from several sites in the United States from 1986 through 1989. The chlordane metabolites, oxychlordane and heptachlor epoxide, were found in every egg sampled. The highest values were found in the East Coast peregrine falcon eggs at a mean concentration of 14,000 mcg/kg; the lowest values were in prairie-falcon eggs at 350 mcg/kg (Jarman et al, 1993). Samples of brain, adipose tissue and muscle of 50 loons were collected in Ontario from 1979-1980. Chlordane levels ranged from 0.02-0.04 mcg/g (Howard, 1991). Chlordane residues have been detected in penguins in Antarctica (Buser et al, 1992).
TERRESTRIAL Soil treatments of 1.4, 2.8, 5.6, and 11.2 kg/hectare of chlordane were placed on ten vegetable crops. Residues of 0.15 and 0.11 mg/kg of tissue were found in beets and cucumbers grown in soil treated at the 11.2 kg/hectare rate. The remaining crops had chlordane levels between 0.01 and 0.1 mg/kg of tissue (HSDB , 2001).
Chlordane residues have been detected in seals in Antarctica (Buser et al, 1992). Log biotransfer factors: beef = -2.13; milk = -3.43 (Verschueren, 2001)
INVERTEBRATES In a study examining the accumulation and transport of trans-chlordane during the life-cycle of the midge, Chironomus decorus, during laboratory exposure assay, accumulation of trans-chlordane was correlated with the amount of contaminant in the larval environment. On metamorphosis, an average of 82.6% of the contaminant was retained in the adults and 11.4% was left behind in the shed exuviae. The results suggest that terrestrial predators can be exposed to organic pesticides from aquatic environments (Harkey & Klaine, 1992). Close to 70% of chlordane in mayflies studied along with 44% to 52% of their lipids were transferred into their eggs. Lipid pools in the eggs contained several times the chlordane concentration of those in the adult tissue. Chlordane fingerprints in adults and eggs indicated that chlordane components and metabolites were distributed similarly (Standley et al, 1994).

The BCF in bacteria is 200 to 55,900 (ATSDR, 1994). Chlordane will bioconcentrate in fresh water species. A BCF of 18,500 has been observed in rainbow trout (ATSDR, 1994). Experimental log BCFs range from 2.60 to 4.58. Most of the values are above 3.5. Based on this, it is expected that bioconcentration would be significant (HSDB, 2004). BCFs of 11,500 and 8,320 were measured for fish in flowing water and static ecosystem tests (Howard, 1991).
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY
Birds and rats exposed to 1-5 mg/kg for 7 days showed adverse effects (OHM/TADS , 2001). Chlordane is harmful to aquatic life in very low concentrations. It has a high potential for food chain concentration (CHRIS , 2001). Chlordane degrades under natural environmental conditions to photo-isomers, such as photo-cis-chlordane, which are more toxic to certain animals than chlordane and also showed higher bioaccumulation (EPA, 1985).
