4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedSYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This chemical causes irritation of the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes.
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. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Aniline and related compounds/
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaUse dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or alcohol foam extinguishers ... If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position ... The only respirators recommended for fire fighting are self-contained breathing apparatuses that have full facepieces and are operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. /Aminophenols/
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalFlash point data for this chemical are not available. It is probably combustible.
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 precautionsPrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upSpill handling: keep dust under control. Use a vacuum or wet method to reduce dust during clean-up. Do not sweep. Evacuate persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until clean-up is complete. Remove all ignition sources. Collect powdered material in the most convenient and safe manner and deposit in sealed containers. Ventilate area after clean-up is complete. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Contact your Department of Environmental Protection of your regional office of the federal EPA for specific recommendations. /Aminophenols/
7.Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handlingAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesStore in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area. Aminophenols must be stored to avoid contact with strong oxidizers (such as chlorine, bromine, and fluorine), since violent reactions occur. /Aminophenols/

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
AEROBIC: 3-Aminophenol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). 3-Aminophenol is generally resistant to biodegradation in a series of screening tests; 0% theoretical BOD was reached in a 14-day MITI test, 0% CO2 was reported over 28 days in the Sturm test, 7% dissolved organic carbon removal over 19 days was reported in a conventional OECD screening test and 0% theoretical BOD was reached in 30 days in a conventional closed bottle test(2). In the Zahn-Wellens test, 93% dissolved organic carbon removal was reported after 10 days while in a coupled units test, 94% dissolved organic carbon was removed after 14 days(2). When the inoculum was preacclimated, 97% dissolved organic carbon removal in 19 days was reported in the modified OECD screening test but only 1% theoretical BOD was reached in 30 days in the closed bottle test(3). A ring test using a respirometric method similar to the Modified MITI I method (OECD Method 310C) was conducted on 3-aminophenol; after 28 days, 6 of 12 laboratories reported 0% theoretical oxygen demand, with the remaining laboratories reporting mean and median of 5 and 27% theoretical oxygen demand, respectively(4). In a wastewater treatment simulation test with a 13-hour sewage retention time, 99% dissolved organic carbon removal was reported following a lag phase of 29 days(5).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialBCFs of <4 and <40 in carp (Cyprinus carpio) were reported for a 6 week study using 1 and 0.1 mg/L 3-aminophenol, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCFs suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 3-aminophenol can be estimated to be 90(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-aminophenol is expected to have high mobility in soil. However, anilines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(3,4), suggesting that mobility may be much lower in some soils(SRC). Measured pKa values are 4.37 and 9.815(5) for the amine and hydroxy functional groups, respectively(6). 3-Aminophenol is amphoteric and behaves either as a weak acid or weak base; the basic character usually predominates(7). At pH 7.7, 12% of added 3-aminophenol was sorbed by an organoclay(8).
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.
