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)

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.

10.2 Chemical stabilityDECOMPOSED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO ALKALIS & BY DISTILLATION AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsMODERATE WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAME ...Acetyl bromide reacts violently with alcohols or water, [Merck 11th ed., 1989]. Mixtures of alcohols with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide can cause explosions. Example: An explosion will occur if dimethylbenzylcarbinol is added to 90% hydrogen peroxide then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid. Mixtures of ethyl alcohol with concentrated hydrogen peroxide form powerful explosives. Mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and 1-phenyl-2-methyl propyl alcohol tend to explode if acidified with 70% sulfuric acid, [Chem. Eng. News 45(43):73(1967); J, Org. Chem. 28:1893(1963)]. Alkyl hypochlorites are violently explosive. They are readily obtained by reacting hypochlorous acid and alcohols either in aqueous solution or mixed aqueous-carbon tetrachloride solutions. Chlorine plus alcohols would similarly yield alkyl hypochlorites. They decompose in the cold and explode on exposure to sunlight or heat. Tertiary hypochlorites are less unstable than secondary or primary hypochlorites, [NFPA 491 M, 1991]. Base-catalysed reactions of isocyanates with alcohols should be carried out in inert solvents. Such reactions in the absence of solvents often occur with explosive violence, [Wischmeyer(1969)].

12.Ecological information 12.1 Toxicity- Toxicity to fish: LC50 Lepomis macrochirus 420 ppm/96 hr (static bioassay in fresh water at 23°C, mild aeration applied after 24 hr).

Two sets of tests using acclimated mixed microbial cultures as inoculum gave percent theoretical BOD of 47%(1) and 46%(2) after 5 days for 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone under aerobic conditions(1,2). A percent theoretical BOD of 3% was observed after 5 days in screening tests using the standard dilution technique under aerobic conditions and effluent sewage from a biological sanitary waste treatment plant as inoculum; 31% theoretical BOD was observed after 5 days using adapted effluent sewage(3). No information regarding biodegradation in natural media was found(SRC).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 0.50 can be calculated(SRC) from an estimated log Kow of -0.098(2) using a recommended regression equation(1). Based upon the estimated BCF and the reported infinite solubility of the compound in water(3), 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone will not be expected to significantly bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilAn estimated Koc of 21 can be calculated(SRC) from an estimated log Kow of -0.098(2) using a recommended regression equation(1). Based upon the estimated Koc and the reported infinite solubility of the compound in water(3), 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone will not be expected to strongly adsorb to sediment or suspended particulate matter(4,SRC). It will be expected to exhibit very high mobility in soil(4), and therefore, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone may leach through soil to groundwater if it does not volatilize or biodegrade first(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.
