SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray. LARGE FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. 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. (ERG, 2016)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily.

Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. (ERG, 2016)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.

Persistence and degradability
In an aerobic aqueous screening test, 3-chloro-1,2-dihydroxypropane, incubated for 2 weeks with a sludge inoculum, reached 68% of the theoretical BOD(1). 3-Chloro-1,2-dihydroxypropane, seeded with a wastewater effluent, reached 1% of the theoretical BOD in 5 days(2); when retested using an acclimated culture, 0% of the theoretical BOD was reached in 5 days(3). 3-Chloro-1,2-dihydroxypropane showed poor acclimation, with only 26% utilization, following a 90 day acclimation period in an anaerobic mixed reactor(4).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 0.2 was calculated for 3-chloro-1,2-dihydroxypropane(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.53(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 3-chloro-1,2-dihydroxypropane can be estimated to be about 1(SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-chloro-1,2-dihydroxypropane has very high mobility in soil(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.
