If inhaledFresh air, rest.
In case of skin contactRemove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
In case of eye contactFirst rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
If swallowedRinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedInhalation can cause nausea and irritation of nose and throat. Contact of liquid with eyes or skin causes irritation. Ingestion can cause abdominal cramps, nausea and diarrhea. (USCG, 1999)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryImmediate 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 as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on 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. /Esters and related compounds/

10.2 Chemical stabilityStable
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsDI(2-ETHYLHEXYL) PHTHALATE reacts 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 with alkali metals and hydrides. Incompatible with nitrates .

AEROBIC: Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was degraded with gradual adaptation; 0, 43, 80, and 95% biodegradation were observed in the original culture, first, second, and third weekly subcultures, respectively, in static flask screening tests using a settled domestic wastewater inoculum(1). A biodegradation half-life of 0.8 days has been reported for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in activated sludge(2). Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate subjected to static culture flask biodegradability tests was almost completely bio-oxidized at the end of 3 weeks(3). Greater than 64% removal of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was observed in a low-loaded activated sludge reactor and a biological aerated filter(4). In a biodegradability screening test using an activated sludge inoculum based on carbon dioxide evolution, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate reached 4 to 5% theoretical amount of CO2 after 28 days at an initial carbon content of 34.1 to 38.7 mg/L(5). In a trickling filter system and an activated sludge system, 76 and 71% removal of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was observed, respectively(6). A mean of 81.5% biodegradation of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was observed after 24 hours in semi-continuous activated sludge tests; 4 days were required to reach >90% biodegradation in the activated sludge die-away portion of this test(7). Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate had a half-life of 23 days in wastewater treatment plants(8). Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was degraded 82% in 28 days using the modified Sturm test(9). Aerobic biodegradation products of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate incubated in sewage sludge include 2-ethylhexanol, 2-ethylhexanal and 2-ethylhexanoic acid(10).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialExperimental BCF values range from a log 2 to 4 in fish and invertebrates(1-7). Log BCFs of 2.93 and 2.06 were measured in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas)(2) and bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus), respectively(3). BCF values of <0.7-29.7 and 1-3.4 were reported using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 8-week period to bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate concentrations of 0.1 and 1.0 ppm, respectively(8). According to a classification scheme(9), these BCFs suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to very high(SRC). Experiments with rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) showed that the majority of (14)C-bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate did not reach the systemic circulation of the fish, but was present in the exposure water as metabolites as a result of pre-systemic branchial metabolism of this compound during uptake from the water to the blood(10). Biota-sediment accumulation factors were 1.0, 0.5 and 1.3 in roach (Rutilus rutilus), chub (Leuciscus cephalus) and perch (Perca fluviatilis), respectively; fish were collected from the Orge River, France from Jul 2009 to Apr 2010(11). BCFs of 0.02-0.11 were reported for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) grown under different conditions on sludge from waste water treatment plants in China(12). BCFs of 6.71-93.70 L/kg were reported for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in the submerged water plant Potamogeton crispus L.; plants were grown in the Haihe River, China from Mar to May 2008(13).
12.4 Mobility in soilLog Koc values of 4 to 5 have been reported for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in clays and sediments(1). A Koc of 87,420 was measured in soil from Broome County, NY, for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(2). Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate had measured log Koc values of 5.17-6.23(3), 5.72(4), 4.94(5), 5.68 and 5.72(6). Soil/sediment Koc values range from 87,420 to 510,000(7). Suspended solid Koc values range from 22,000 to 1X10+6(7). According to a recommended classification scheme(8), these measured Koc values suggest that bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC).

13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe 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.
Contaminated packagingContainers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning.
