8.2 Appropriate engineering controlsHandle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) Eye/face protectionSafety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
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.
Respiratory protectionWear dust mask when handling large quantities.

- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
In the Japanese MITI test, using an initial concn of 100 ppm 2-chlorotoluene, <30% of the theoretical BOD was reached in 14 days using an activated sludge inoculum(1,2). In the modified MITI test, using an initial concentration of 100 ppm 2-chlorotoluene, 0% of the theoretical BOD was reached in 14 days(3). A second order rate constant for the microbial degradation of 2-chlorotoluene in natural water was experimentally determined to be 2.7X10-11 L/organism-hr(4). Microorganisms capable of degrading 2-chlorotolune were isolated from soil samples collected at a landfill site used for the disposal of chlorinated organic wastes(5). A microbial blend of 10 different bacteria and 2 fungi was used to degrade 2-chlorotoluene at a concentration of 200 mg/l; complete biodegradation occurred in 3 days(6).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialCarp exposed to 2-chlorotoluene at 0.045 and 0.45 mg/L had measured BCF values of 20-112 and 41.6-87.2, respectively(1). An estimated BCF value of 230 was calculated for 2-chlorotoluene(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 3.42(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3). According to a recommended classification scheme(4), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration of 2-chlorotoluene in aquatic organisms may occur(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilMeasured soil adsorption coefficients (Koc) for 2-chlorotoluene ranged between 170-880, the average value was 370(1). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggest that 2-chlorotoluene will have low to moderate mobility in soil(2,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. 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.
