Gc/ms analyses of profiles of volatile constituents obtained from cord blood & maternal blood samples reflect transplacentally acquired halogenated hydrocarbons & accum in fetal cord blood.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) Use water if flooding quantities as fog. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic gases and vapors, such as nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, and carbon monoxide, may be released in a fire. (USCG, 1999)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking liquid in sealable metal containers.
Environmental precautions
Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking liquid in sealable metal containers.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. For small quantities, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in 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 & atomized in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. 1,1-Dichloro-1-nitroethane should not be allowed to enter a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 57.8°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. 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.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants and food and feedstuffs.IN GENERAL, MATERIALS WHICH ARE TOXIC AS STORED OR WHICH CAN DECOMP INTO TOXIC COMPONENTS...SHOULD BE STORED IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED PLACE, OUT OF DIRECT RAYS OF THE SUN, AWAY FROM AREAS OF HIGH FIRE HAZARD, & SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY INSPECTED... INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS SHOULD BE ISOLATED FROM EACH OTHER.

Bioaccumulative potential
Based upon an estimated water solubility of 2500 mg/l(2), the BCF of 1,1-dichloro-1- nitroethane can be estimated to be approximately 7.5 from a regression-derived equation(1). This estimated BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms may not be an important fate process(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indexes(1), the Koc for 1,1-dichloro-1-nitroethane can be estimated to be about 36(SRC). The Koc for 1,1-dichloro-1-nitroethane can be estimated to be about 59(SRC) based on an estimated water solubility of 2500 mg/L(4) and a regression derived equation(2). According to a suggested classification scheme(3), these estimated Koc values suggest that 1,1-dichloro-1-nitroethane has high to very high soil mobility(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
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.

Other Information
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.
