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 shock and treat if necessary . Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures 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 .

Persistence and degradability
When incubated with a filtered effluent from a sanitary waste treatment plant, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol displayed a theoretical 5 day BOD of 1%(1). 1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol reached 0%, 84%, and 86% of its theoretical BOD over 4 weeks using activated sludge inoculum(2). Pure cultures of Psuedomonas sp. degraded 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol to epichlorohydrin, 1-chloro-2,3-propylene diol, glycidol, and ultimately glycerin(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.78(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol can be estimated to be about 4(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
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.
