4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedAnesthesia, nausea, headache, dizziness, irritation of respiratory passages. Mildly irritating to the skin and eyes. (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.

5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaSpecial hazards arising from the substance or mixture: carbon oxides...
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalExcerpt from ERG Guide 129 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]: 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. (ERG, 2016)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fightersWear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
6.Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresUse personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautionsPersonal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.; Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

AEROBIC: n-Butyl alcohol biodegrades rapidly in screening tests using a sewage or activated sludge inoculum and is considered readily biodegradable(1). n-Butyl alcohol reached 66% of its theoretical BOD in a sewage sludge during a 5 day incubation period(2) and 33% of its theoretical BOD using an inoculum from polluted surface water(3). The first-order rate constant for the degradation of n-butyl alcohol in soils was reported as 2X10-6 sec-1(4); this corresponds to a half-life of approximately 4 days(SRC). The first-order biodegradation rate constant of n-butyl alcohol in an activated sludge inoculum was reported as 9.59X10-3 per hour(5); this corresponds to a half-life of about 3 days(SRC). The biodegradation half-life of n-butyl alcohol in a sub-surface soil from Blacksburg, VA was approximately 7 days(6). The biodegradation half-life of n-butyl alcohol in a basic sandy silt loam from Texas was reported as 1 day and the half-life of n-butyl alcohol in an acidic sandy loam from Mississippi was reported as 8.5 days(7). A 20 day BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) test was conducted using unacclimated settled domestic wastewater as the microbial seed (3 mL/BOD bottle)(1); the results showed a BOD5 of 68% ThOD (percent of theoretical oxygen demand), a BOD10 of 87% ThOD, a BOD15 of 92% ThOD, and a BOD20 of 92% ThOD(1). n-Butyl alcohol, present at 100 mg/L, reached >60% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(8).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for n-butyl alcohol(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.88(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 measured Koc of n-butyl alcohol is reported as 3.2(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that n-butyl alcohol 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.
