Description of necessary first-aid measures
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin and eyes. Other symptoms may include headache, drowsiness, nausea, kidney irritation, dizziness and central nervous system depression. Exposure may can cause cyanosis and methemoglobinemia. It may also cause irritation of the bladder. Symptoms may be delayed. Hypothermia may occur in man. It may also cause loss of coordination, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, loss of consciousness, irritation to the respiratory tract, sore throat and nasal discharge. Other symptoms include burning sensation, redness and swelling of the eyes. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is toxic by ingestion and inhalation. It is harmful if absorbed through the skin. It is an irritant of the skin and eyes. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, chlorine and hydrogen chloride gas. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Organic bases/Amines and related compounds/
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
If material on fire or involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire (material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty). Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Chlorotoluidines, liquid
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
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
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Using samples of River Elbe water taken at Dresden, 55 km downstream from the Czech border between March 1995 and December 1998, 3-chloro-p-toluidine exhibited a biodegradation rate of 0.47/hr, corresponding to a half-life of 1.5 hrs. Experiments were carried out in darkness at 20 deg C and circulating raw river water through glass columns filled with pumice. 3-Chloro-4-methylaniline was added to the column at a concentration of 6 ug/L; detection limit was 0.44 ug/L(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 15 was calculated in fish for 3-chloro-p-toluidine(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.27(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 3-chloro-p-toluidine can be estimated to be 180(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-chloro-p-toluidine is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. However, primary aromatic amines can react with humic matter in soil forming an irreversible complex and as a result may be immobilized in soil(3-4). With the increase of humic matter in soil, the tendency towards irreversible complex formation may increase and 3-chloro-p-toluidine may become increasingly immobilized(4). In sandy soil containing marginal amounts of humic matter, 3-chloro-p-toluidine may be mobile(5).
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.
