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.

AEROBIC: Dimethyl sulfoxide, present at 100 mg/L, reached 3.1% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). Little degradation of dimethyl sulfoxide (<20%) was noted in a screening test using an activated sludge inoculum(2). Using the OECD 301E method, 99% degradation was observed(3). Using the OECD 303A method (domestic sewage simulation), 90% degradation of dimethyl sulfoxide was observed at a concentration of 65 mg/L over a 32-day incubation period(3,4). One ready biodegradation test performed following the norm AFNOR NFT 90-312 concluded that dimethyl sulfoxide is readily biodegradable(4). Dimethyl sulfoxide, at a 500 mg/L concentration, was entirely biodegraded within about 37 hours with aerobic settling sludge obtained from the activated sludge process at an opto-electronic plant, under optimized pH/temperature conditions(4). The available biodegradation screening tests have conflicting results(3), but based on available data and weight-of-evidence approach, dimethyl sulfoxide is expected to be inherently biodegradable(4).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialA BCF of <4 was measured in fish for dimethyl sulfoxide using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests 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 dimethyl sulfoxide can be estimated to be 2(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that dimethyl sulfoxide is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
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.
