Trimethylchlorosilane's production and use as an intermediate in silicone synthesis as well as use as a chain terminating agent and imparting water repellence(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: All silicon chlorides are immediately and completely hydrolyzed by water(1) and trimethylchlorosilane has been reported to hydrolyze in water releasing hydrochloric acid(2). Volatilization from moist soil surfaces, adsorption to soil and sediment as well as biodegradation are not expected to be important fate processes when compared to decomposition in water. Trimethylchlorosilane may volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 234 mm Hg(3).|AQUATIC FATE: All silicon chlorides are immediately and completely hydrolyzed by water(1) and trimethylchlorosilane has been reported to hydrolyze in water releasing hydrochloric acid(2). Due to the rapid decomposition in water volatilization, bioconcentration and biodegradation are not expected to be important fate processes(SRC).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), trimethylchlorosilane, which has a vapor pressure of 234 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase trimethylchlorosilane is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 12 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 4.5X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Methyl silanes are transparent to UV radiation >290 nm(4) and therefore trimethylchlorosilane is not expected to undergo direct photolytic degradation(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of trimethylchlorosilane with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 4.5X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 12 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). All silicon chlorides are immediately and completely hydrolyzed by water(2) and trimethylchlorosilane has been reported to hydrolyze in water releasing hydrochloric acid(3). Methyl silanes are transparent to UV radiation >290 nm(4) and therefore trimethylchlorosilane is not expected to undergo direct photolytic degradation(SRC).

Trimethylchlorosilane has been reported to hydrolyze immediately upon contact with water(1) and therefore bioconcentration of trimethylchlorosilane is not expected(SRC).

All silicon chlorides are immediately and completely hydrolyzed by water(1) and trimethylchlorosilane has been reported to hydrolyze in water releasing hydrochloric acid(2). Decomposition of trimethylcholorsilane is expected to occur more rapidly than adsorption(SRC).

Similar to other silanes. Toxicity is rated high for inhalation, ingestion and local irritation. May cause death or permanent injury after a very short exposure to small quantities. (EPA, 1998)

Warning: In the presence of water, trimethylchlorosilane liberates hydrochloric acid, which is extremely corrosive. Caution is advised. Signs and Symptoms of Acute Trimethylchlorosilane Exposure: Signs and symptoms of acute trimethylchlorosilane exposure may include increased salivation, intense thirst, difficulty swallowing, chills, pain, and shock. Oral, esophageal, and stomach burns are common. Vomitus generally has a coffee-ground appearance. Acute inhalation exposure may result in hoarseness, laryngitis, a feeling of suffocation, dyspnea (shortness of breath), choking, respiratory tract irritation, chest pain, and pulmonary edema. The potential for circulatory collapse is high following ingestion of trimethylchlorosilane. Sneezing, bleeding of the nose and gums, and ulceration of the nasal and oral mucosa may also occur. Renal toxicity has been observed in animals. If the eyes come in contact with trimethylchlorosilane, irritation, pain, swelling, corneal erosion, and blindness may result. Dermal exposure is generally followed by dermatitis (red, inflamed skin), severe burns, pain, and shock. Emergency Life-Support Procedures: Acute exposure to trimethylchlorosilane may require decontamination and life support for the victims. Emergency personnel should wear protective clothing appropriate to the type and degree of contamination. Air-purifying or supplied-air respiratory equipment should also be worn, as necessary.
