4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedSYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to large amounts of this compound may include irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat. The dust may cause swelling and injury to the eyes. Eye contact may also result in conjunctivitis and slight to moderate corneal injuries. Other toxic effects include decrease of activity, motor weakness and convulsive seizures. It also causes lung, kidney and liver damage; an increase and then a decrease in respiratory rate, decrease in urine output, fever, increased bowel action and collapse. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is an irritant of the skin, eyes, nose and throat. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of chloride ion; decomposition may be violent. There is limited evidence that this compound is a human carcinogen.
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. /Phenols and related compounds/

AEROBIC: The rate of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol biodegradation (measured by CO2 evolution) in river water and sediment corresponded to half-lives of 690 and 23 days, respectively(1). Using the Japanese MITI test, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol present at 100 ppm underwent <30% degradation in 2 weeks using an activated sludge at 30 ppm(2). Mixed microbial cultures isolated from toluene and phenol activated sludge, resulted in 50% biodegradation of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol in 2 days(3). 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol, present at 50 mg/L, took >47 and >72 days for complete degradation when added to 2 different soil suspensions(4). 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol was aerobically degraded 72% and 9% in 80 days in non-sterile and sterile clay loam, respectively(5). Microbial degradation, volatilization, and photodecomposition were ruled out in the sterile soil indicating that other mechanisms contribute to degradation(5). An aerobic biodegradation half-life of 23 days was determined for 2,4,5-trichlorophenol from a river die-away test(6). Biodegradation half-life (measured by loss of UV absorbance) for 10 ug/L 2,4,5-trichlorophenol added to a soil suspension was 15 days(7). Soil microbes metabolized 2,4,5-trichlorophenol to 3,5-dichlorocatechol, 4-chlorocatechol, succinate, cis,cis-2,4-dichloromuconate, 2-chloro-4-(carboxymethylene)but-2-enolide, and chlorosuccinate(7).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialUsing carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 8-week period to 10 and 1 ug/L of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, respective measured BCFs were 121-484 and 232-825(1). A log BCF of 3.28 was reported for fathead minnows exposed to 2,4,5-trichlorophenol for 28 days(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high to very high(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilKoc values of 89(1), 2300(2), and 1700 in Pahokee peat(3) have been reported. According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that 2,4,5-trichlorophenol is expected to have high to slight mobility in soil. The pKa of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol is 7.43(5), indicating that this compound will exist partially in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(6).
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.
