SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Liquid may cause mild eye irritation. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
The absorption, distribution, and elimination of DEHA were studied in mice and rats. Male Sprague Dawley rats, male NMRI mice, and pregnant female NMRI mice on day 17 of gestation were administered (14)C labeled DEHA dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide or corn oil iv or intragastrically. The DEHA was labeled on the carbonyl or alcohol moiety. Animals were killed 5 min to 4 days after dosing, and the tissue distribution of (14)C activity was determined by whole body autoradiography. The tissue distribution of (14)C activity from carbonyl labeled DEHA was similar in all animals. Highest levels of radioactivity were observed in the body fat, liver, and kidney after intragastrically or iv administration. (14)C activity from alcohol labeled DEHA was found in the bronchi of male mice. In pregnant mice, (14)C activity was observed in the fetal liver, intestine, and bone marrow during the first 24 hr after carbonyl labeled DEHA was given. Very little radiolabel was found in fetuses of mice given alcohol labeled DEHA. No DEHA derived radioactivity was found in mice 4 days after dosing. Blood DEHA concn in rats increased faster and were two or three times higher when the dose was given in DMSO rather than corn oil. Significant amounts of DEHA were excreted in the bile of rats treated with DEHA in DMSO. Very little biliary elimination of radiolabel occurred in animals given carbonyl labeled DEHA. DEHA was excreted in the urine, the amounts being smaller in animals used in the bile collection experiments. The vehicle had very little effect on the amount excreted. DEHA is poorly absorbed from an oil solution.

Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
SLIGHT, WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAME; CAN REACT WITH OXIDIZING MATERIALS.BIS(2-ETHYLHEXYL) ADIPATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Can generate electrostatic charges. [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 250]. This chemical is incompatible with oxidizing materials and water. It is also incompatible with nitrates. (NTP, 1992)

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: In a semi-continuous activated sludge method used to simulate sewage treatment plant biodegradation, bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate was observed to undergo primary degradation of 65-96% (at concns of 5 and 20 mg added/24 hr)(1); in a CO2 evolution study, bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate was observed to undergo an ultimate degradation of 94% over a 35-day incubation period which corresponds to a first-order half-life of 2.7 days(1). Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, present at 100 mg/l, reached 67-74% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
A whole-fish BCF of 27 was observed for blue-gill fish exposed to bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate levels of 250 ug/l for a 28-day period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this measured BCF value 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 bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate can be estimated to be 49,000(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate is expected to be immobile 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.
