Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out.

SECTION 12: Ecological information
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Leuciscus idus melanotus - 19.8 mg/L - 96 h.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 14 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to algae: EC10 - Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) - 1.67 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 - activated sludge, domestic - 1 174 mg/L - 3 h. Remarks:Respiration rate.
Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Chloroacetamide underwent greater than 90% biodegradation in 6 days using an activated sludge inoculum and the Zahn-Wellens test(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for chloroacetamide(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.53(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
The Koc of chloroacetamide is estimated as 4.2(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.53(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that chloroacetamide 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.
