4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedThis compound is very toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. The probable human lethal dose is 50-500 mg/kg, or between 1 teaspoon and 1 ounce for a 150 lb. (70 kg) person. Severe exposure induces pulmonary hyperemia and edema, degenerative and necrotic changes in brain, heart and adrenal glands and necrosis of liver and kidney tubules. (EPA, 1998)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary Absorption, Distribution and ExcretionRats given 6 mg/kg hexachlorocyclopentadiene (HEX) orally excreted 33% in urine, 10% in feces in 7 days. Most excretion occurred during 1st 24 hr after dosing. Kidney retained 0.5%, liver >0.5%. Biliary excretion of only 16% with 66% still voided in the feces of bile duct cannulated rats suggested that the majority of orally consumed HEX was not absorbed. Degradation apparently occurred in the gut since little of the fecal material was of an apolar nature. The kidney, liver, ovaries and fat were the major sites of deposition of (14)C-HEX equivalents. In rats, the kidney contained the highest levels of residues, whereas in mice the residues in the liver exceeded those in the kidney. Other than this difference, the fate of HEX in rats and mice, both male and female, was quite similar and in each case the tissue residues reached a plateau after about two weeks on the HEX-containing diets.[Mehendale HM; Environ Health Perspect 21: 275-78 (1977)] Full text: PMC1475343
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaIf material involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire (material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty). Use water spray to knock-down vapors.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalToxic hydrogen chloride, chlorine, and phosgene gases may form in fires. In presence of moisture, will corrode iron and other materials; flammable and explosive hydrogen gas may collect in enclosed space. Will corrode iron and other metals in the presence of moisture. Reacts slowly with water to form hydrochloric acid; however, the reaction is not hazardous. Hazardous polymerization may not occur. (EPA, 1998)
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: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable plastic containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upEnvironmental considerations. Land spill: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material. /SRP: If time permits, pits, ponds, lagoons, soak holes, or holding areas should be sealed with an impermeable flexible membrane liner./ Cover solids with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or fire fighting water. Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash or cement powder.

In a static-screening study (BOD dilution water containing nutrient broth, settled domestic wastewater as inoculum, initial hexachlorocyclopentadiene concn 5 and 10 mg/l, during a 7 day incubation period in the dark) 100% loss of hexachlorocyclopentadiene was observed(1). Based on hydrolytic half-life data for this compound, hydrolysis alone does not necessarily account for the 100% observed loss of hexachlorocyclopentadiene. Volatilization was reported to be insignificant. Thus, some of the observed loss may have been due to biodegradation(SRC). Hexachlorocyclopentadiene has been found to degrade more quickly in nonsterile soils than sterile soils, suggesting that degradation was partially due to biodegradation(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialBioconcentration factor of hexachlorocyclopentadiene in a laboratory model ecosystem were: alga (Edogonium) 341; snail (Physa) 929; mosquito (Culex) 1634; and fish (Gambusia) 448(1). BCFs in other aquatic species were: green alga (Chlorella fusca) 1090(2); fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) <11(3) and 29(4); goldfish (Carassius auratus) 100-323(5), golden orfe (Leuciscus idus) 1230(6). The steady-state BCF value for fingerling goldfish exposed to 4 and 5 ppb of hexachlorocyclopentadiene was 1354 in a renewable freshwater system, and the BCF was 323 in a static system(7). Based on a classification scheme(8), these data indicate that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe attenuation mechanisms & capacity of selected clay minerals and soils for hexachlorocyclopentadiene (C-56) adsorption, a chemical model to predict C-56 migration through soil materials, & the major degradation products of C-56 in the environment were investigated. C-56 was readily adsorbed by soil materials; the adsorption capacity of C-56 was highly correlated with the total organic carbon content. Adsorbed C-56 remained immobile in the earth materials when leached with water, landfill leachates, and caustic soda brine solutions, but was highly mobile when leached with organic solvents.
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
