Excerpt from ERG Guide 137 [Substances - Water-Reactive - Corrosive]: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. SPILL: Increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown above. FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 137 [Substances - Water-Reactive - Corrosive]: Fully encapsulating, vapor-protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors; do not put water directly on leak, spill area or inside container. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. SMALL SPILL: Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect material and place it into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Toxicity
moderately toxic
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Zirconim tetrachloride forms white monoclinic crystals. It is used to form zirconium nitride coatings, to react electrochemically to form zirconia in high-temperature fuel cells, to react with alcohols to form alkoxides, and to produce zirconium organometallic compounds. Zirconium tetrachloride is reduced by molten alkali and alkaline earth metals, yielding zirconium metal. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Exposure to zirconium tetrachloride may cause corrosive injury. Common early features of corrosive ingestion include immediate pain in the mouth, pharynx and abdomen, intense thirst, vomiting, hematemesis and diarrhea. Gastric and esophageal perforation and chemical peritonitis may also occur. Late features include antral or pyloric stenosis, jejunal stricture formation, achlorhydria, protein-losing gastroenteropathy and gastric carcinoma. Pulmonary edema has been reported after exposure to zirconium tetrachloride and may be delayed for up to 36 hours. Allergic reactions have been reported in dental patients with crowns or bridges that contain zirconium tetrachloride resulting in eosinophilic gastritis that resolved when artificial dentition was replaced. ANIMAL STUDIES: Inhalation of ZrCl4 mist at an airborne concentration of 6 mg of Zr/cu m was perceptibly toxic after a 2-month exposure, as shown by slight decreases in hemoglobin and erythrocyte count in dogs. There was some increase in mortality over that of controls. Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1537, TA 2637 were negative. When tested in combination with 9-aminoacridine, the mutation rate was higher than that for 9-aminoacridine alone (zirconium tetrachloride). ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: The inactivation of phosphorus by zirconium tetrachloride reduced phytoplankton production in the experimental side, as a possible approach to eutrophication control, in a eutrophic farm pond study.

/FIELD STUDIES/ The inactivation of /phosphorus/ (P) by zirconium tetrachloride, as a possible approach to eutrophication control, was studied in a eutrophic farm pond divided into experimental and control sides. Dramatic differences in phytoplankton production between the 2 sides occurred during the 1st summer. An intensive bloom of Anabaena circinalis developed in the control, along with elevated total P. Phytoplankton peaks were over 6 times higher in the control. Benthic macroinvertebrates were not affected. Reduced phytoplankton production in the experimental side seemed to be caused by inhibition of P cycling from the sediments. An absence of pronounced differences in the 2nd year was caused by leakage of Zr from the experimental side into the control.|/OTHER TERRESTRIAL SPECIES/ ... In this study, ...the effects of different TiO2 and Zr materials on the soil oligochaete Enchytraeus crypticus /were investigated/, using exposure via soil, via water, and via soil-water extracts, and studied the effects combined with UV radiation. The results showed that ZrO2 (bulk and nano) were not toxic, while zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl4) reduced the enchytraeids reproduction in soil (EC50=502 mg/kg). ...
According to the 2012 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, 2 reporting facilities estimate the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed during the manufacturing, processing, or use of zirconium tetrachloride in the United States may be as low as 50 workers and as high as 99 workers; the data may be greatly underestimated due to confidential business information (CBI) or unknown values(1).

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Most zirconium compounds are absorbed poorly from the gastrointestinal tract although some salts such as zirconium tetrachloride may cause corrosive injury. Common early features of corrosive ingestion include immediate pain in the mouth, pharynx and abdomen, intense thirst, vomiting, hematemesis and diarrhea. Gastric and esophageal perforation and chemical peritonitis may also occur. Late features include antral or pyloric stenosis, jejunal stricture formation, achlorhydria, protein-losing gastroenteropathy and gastric carcinoma.|/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Pulmonary edema has been reported after exposure to zirconium tetrachloride and may be delayed for up to 36 hours.|/CASE REPORTS/ Only a few cases of contact allergic gastritis in patients with nickel allergy have been reported. We report a case of probable contact-allergic gastritis in a 46-year-old woman. Clinical examination revealed lichenoid mucosal lesions of the gums adjacent to bridges and crowns that had been implanted several weeks back. Since implantation, the patient had suffered from gastrointestinal complaints (including stomach pain). Gastroscopy showed eosinophilic gastritis. Patch testing done under the diagnosis of contact allergic stomatitis showed positive reactions to: gold sodium thiosulphate; manganese (II) chloride; nickel (II) sulphate; palladium chloride; vanadium (III) chloride and zirconium (IV) chloride. The crowns and bridge contained gold, palladium and zirconium chloride, hence they were replaced by titan-based dentition. Shortly after replacing the artificial dentition, all gastrointestinal symptoms resolved spontaneously without further treatment. Delayed-type allergy against the components of artificial dentition seemed to be the cause of gastritis.

Method 4500-chloride ion C. Mercuric Nitrate Method for the determinatin of chloride ions in water and wastewater. Chloride can be titrated with mercuric nitrate because of the formation of soluble and slightly dissociated mercuric chloride. In the pH range 2.3 to 2.8 diphenylcarbazone indicates the titration end point by formation of a purple complex with the excess mercuric ions. Chromate, ferric, and sulfite ions interfere when present in excess of 10 mg/l. A synthetic sample containing 241 mg chloride/1 ... in distilled water was analyzed in 10 laboratories, with a relative standard deviation of 3.3% and a relative error of 2.9%. /Chloride/|Method 4500-Chloride ion D. Potentiometric method for the determination of chloride ions in water and wastewater. The method is suitable for colored or turbid samples in which color-indicated end point might be difficult to observe. Chloride is determined by potentiometric titration with silver nitrate solution with a glass and silver-silver chloride electrode sytem. In the absence of interfering substances, the precision and accuracy are estimated to be about 0.12 mg for 5 mg chloride, or 2.5% of the amount present. When pretreatment is required to remove interfering substances, the precision and accuracy are reduced to about 0.25 mg for 5 mg chloride, or 5% of the amount present. /Chloride/
