Excerpt from ERG Guide 156 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible / Water-Sensitive)]: 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 156 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible / Water-Sensitive)]: ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. FOR CHLOROSILANES, use AFFF alcohol-resistant medium-expansion foam to reduce vapors. DO NOT GET WATER on spilled substance or inside containers. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. 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. (ERG, 2016)

Sealed containers may explode because slow decomposition at room temperature may build up pressure.

If material on fire or involved in fire: Use dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Do not use water on material itself. If large quantities of combustibles are involved, use water in flooding quantities as spray and fog. Use water spray to knock-down vapors. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible.

If material not on fire and not involved in fire: Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Use water spray to knock-down vapors. Do not use water on material itself. Neutralize spilled material with crushed limestone, soda ash, or lime.|Personnel protection: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep upwind. ... Avoid bodily contact with the material. ... Do not handle broken packages unless wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water. If contacted with the material anticipated, wear appropriate chemical protective clothing.|SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in such a manner so that there is no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance to ascertain the completeness of the cleaning procedures should be implemented before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.|SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

p-Anisoyl chloride's production and use as an intermediate for dyes and medications(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 37(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that p-anisoyl chloride is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of p-anisoyl chloride from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.8X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). p-Anisoyl chloride is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.014 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(4). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2005).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 37(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that p-anisoyl chloride is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.8X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 4 and 50 days, respectively (SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 1.52(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). p-anisoyl chloride is decomposed in water(8), but the rate of this reaction is not known(SRC). However, the hydrolysis half-life of benzoyl chloride, a structural analog, is on the order of several minutes(9), suggesting that p-anisoyl chloride will undergo rapid hydrolysis in the environment(SRC). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2005).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), p-anisoyl chloride, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.014 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase p-anisoyl chloride 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 19 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). p-Anisoyl chloride absorbs light greater than 290 nm and may be subject to direct photolysis in the environment; however, the rate of this potential reaction is unknown(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of p-anisoyl chloride with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 2X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 19 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). p-Anisoyl chloride absorbs light greater than 290 nm and may be subject to direct photolysis in the environment; however, the rate of this potential reaction is unknown(SRC). p-Anisoyl chloride is decomposed in water(2), but the rate of this reaction is not known(SRC). However, the hydrolysis half-life of benzoyl chloride, a structural analog, is on the order of several minutes(3), suggesting that p-anisoyl chloride will undergo rapid hydrolysis in the environment(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for p-anisoyl chloride(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 1.52(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for p-anisoyl chloride can be estimated to be 37(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that p-anisoyl chloride is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for p-anisoyl chloride is estimated as 7.8X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that p-anisoyl chloride is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). However, the hydrolysis half-life of benzoyl chloride, a structural analog, is on the order of several minutes(3), suggesting that p-anisoyl chloride will undergo rapid hydrolysis in the environment. Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 4 days(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 50 days(SRC). p-Anisoyl chloride's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). p-Anisoyl chloride is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.014 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 4,354 workers (276 of these are female) are potentially exposed to p-anisoyl chloride in the US(1). Occupational exposure to p-anisoyl chloride may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where p-anisoyl chloride is produced or used(SRC).
