5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaExtinguish with water, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalExcerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. Substance may be transported hot. For hybrid vehicles, ERG Guide 147 (lithium ion batteries) or ERG Guide 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. If molten aluminum is involved, refer to ERG Guide 169. (ERG, 2016)

Skin protectionWear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. 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.

12.Ecological information 12.1 Toxicity- Toxicity to fish: LC50 Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow) 162 mg/l/96 hr (confidence limit not reliable), flow-through bioassay with measured concentrations, 24.6°C, dissolved oxygen 7.1 mg/l, hardness 40.7 mg/l calcium carbonate, alkalinity 35.0 mg/l calcium carbonate, and pH 7.83
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available

- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Acetophenone, present at 100 mg/l, achieved 61-68% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(1). Other screening studies give similar results and acetophenone is confirmed to be biodegradable(2-4). Acetophenone achieved 20-32% of its theoretical BOD using a sewage inoculum over a 5 day incubation period(2,3). Acetophenone reached 59% of its theoretical BOD using acclimated mixed microbial cultures and a 5 day incubation period(4). The biodegradation half-lives of acetophenone in groundwater, river water and lake water were 32, 8 and 4.5 days, respectively(5,6).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 0.5 was calculated for acetophenone(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.58(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).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of acetophenone was measured as 10, using an agricultural soil obtained from Northeastern China(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that acetophenone is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
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. 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.
