5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaWATER, FOAM, MIST, FOG, SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalMay form phosgene or hydrogen chloride in fires. There is danger of explosion when ethers are heated or exposed to flames or sparks. Ethers tend to form peroxides; when ethers containing peroxides are heated, they can detonate. May be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. Container may explode in heat of fire. Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Decomposes in the presence of moisture to form hydrochloric acid. Emits toxic fumes when heated to decomposition. Reacts vigorously with oleum and chlorosulfonic acid. Ethers tend to form peroxides upon standing. Heating peroxide-containing ethers can cause detonation. (EPA, 1998)

10.2 Chemical stabilityStable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsFLAMMABLE LIQUID WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT, FLAME, OR OXIDANTS.The vapour is heavier than air.2,2'-DICHLORODIETHYL ETHER may form phosgene or hydrogen when heated to high temperature. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick, 1979 p.151-154]. Mixing in equal molar portions with the following substances in a closed container caused the temperature and pressure to increase: chlorosulfonic acid and oleum [NFPA 1991].

Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether was added to Ohio River water at pH 7.2 and 22-25°C(1). Thirty-five days following the addition of bis(2-chloroethyl) ether to the water, 50% of the carbon dioxide theoretically derivable from bis(2-chloroethyl) ether was recovered. After a second addition of bis(2-chloroethyl) ether, only 9-10 days were required to observe 50% recovery of theoretical carbon dioxide, suggesting acclimation was necessary for optimal biodegradation rates(1). The absence of evidence of biodegradation in another study(2) may be attributed to an insufficiently long acclimation period (18 days)(SRC). Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether, present at 100 mg/l, reached 8.3% of its theoretical BOD in 3 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialA BCF of 0.4 to 1.3 in carp(1) and a BCF of 11 in bluegills exposed to bis(2-chloroethyl) ether for 14 days(2) was observed. According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest that the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of bis(2- chloroethyl) ether is estimated as approximately 120(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.29(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that bis(2-chloroethyl) ether is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). In a 140 cm long column containing Lincoln fine sand collected in Ada, OK, 86% of the applied bis(2-chloroethyl) ether reached 140 cm, indicating minimal adsorption to this soil(4).
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.
