SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
If inhaled
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Following skin contact
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Following eye contact
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Following ingestion
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Excerpt from ERG Guide 133 [Flammable Solids]: Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Poisons A and B

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Using an activated sludge inoculum from a domestic sewage plant and an aerobic Sapromat apparatus protocol(1), 50-60% of initial N-(3-chloroallyl)hexaminium chloride (10 mg/L) was degraded after 1.5 days of incubation with 70% degradation after 2.5 days and 100% degradation after 7 days; at an initial concentration of 50 mg/L, degradation was 35, 40, 75, and 95-100% after 1.5, 2.5, 5.5, and 7 days of incubation, respectively(1). A Warburg respirometer study using an activated sludge inoculum observed 50, 145, and 165 mg/L oxygen consumed after 1, 4, and 6 days of incubation, respectively, using an initial N-(3-chloroallyl)hexaminium chloride concentration of 250 ppm; at 500, 750, and 1000 ppm initial concentrations, N-(3-chloroallyl)hexaminium chloride was toxic to the inoculum(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for N-(3-chloroallyl)hexaminium chloride(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.10(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).
12.4 Mobility in soil
N-(3-Chloroallyl)hexaminium chloride is 97.8% ionized in aqueous solutions(1), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(2).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 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.
