4.First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
Fresh air, rest.
In case of skin contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
In case of eye contact
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
If swallowed
Rinse mouth.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the nose, eyes, skin and throat, coughing, chest discomfort, nausea and vomiting. Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin which in sufficient concentrations causes cyanosis. Exposure to this compound may also cause sensitization and bladder irritation.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Gastrointestinal decontamination. If a large amount of the fungicide has been ingested in the last few hours, and if copious vomiting has not already occurred, it may be reasonable to consider GI decontamination. Activated charcoal can be used along with the addition of the cathartic sorbitol to the charcoal slurry. If sorbitol is given separately, it should be diluted with an equal volume of water before administration. No more than one dose of sorbitol is recommended and it should be used with caution in children and the elderly. If contact with the toxicant has been minimal (for example, oral contamination only, promptly flushed out of the mouth), administration of charcoal without a cathartic, followed by careful observation of the patient, probably represents optimal management. /Substituted benzenes/

12.2 Persistence and degradability
(14)C-Labeled CO2 was evolved when labeled 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline was applied to silt loam soils which had been receiving 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline fungicide applications for several years(1,2); the rate of degradation was observed to increase as new additions of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline were applied to these soils over a period of several weeks(1,2); sterilization of these soils by steam, sodium azide, silver nitrate or mercuric chloride inhibited the decomposition completely(2); applications of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline to a soil which had not received previous applications evolved no labeled CO2(1,2). Over an incubation period of 1-2 months in both anaerobic (flooded) and aerobic soil conditions in three different CA soils, the degradation rate of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline was observed to be 2.5 to over 20 times faster in non-sterile soil versus sterile soil suggesting that microbial degradation is the major degradation process in soil(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
2,6-Dichloro-4-nitroaniline has a moderate potential to bio-accumulate in fish tissue based on a bioconcentration study which indicated a bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 136 in whole fish tissue(1); however, the bioaccumulated residues were almost completely eliminated from fish tissues (86-98%) during a 7-14 day depuration period(1). An estimated BCF of 33 can be calculated in fish for 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.80(2) and a regression-derived equation(3). According to a classification scheme(4), a BCF of 33 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Measured Koc values for 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline in a variety of soils are reported to range from 660 to 1100(1). A 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline Koc value of 1000, based on measured data, is recommended for developing QSAR estimation methods(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggests that 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline is expected to have low mobility in soil. Mobility is expected to increase in coarser soils(4).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The 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 packaging
Containers 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.
