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 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]: May cause toxic effects if inhaled or ingested/swallowed. Contact with substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water 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 as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on 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. Irritating materials

12.2 Persistence and degradability
As a class, acyl halides react readily with water to yield the parent acid and hydrogen halide. Hydrolysis half-lives are less than 10 minutes. Analogous acetyl chloride hydrolyzes in 0.8 seconds to yield acetic acid and hydrochloric acid(1). Therefore, biodegradation is not expected to be an important environmental fate process(SRC).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
As a class, acyl halides react readily with water to yield the parent acid and hydrogen halide. Hydrolysis half-lives are less than 10 minutes. Analogous acetyl chloride hydrolyzes in 0.8 seconds to yield acetic acid and hydrochloric acid(1). Therefore, bioconcentration is not expected to be an important environmental fate process(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of acrylyl chloride can be estimated to be 2(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that acrylyl chloride is expected to have very high mobility in soil. However, As a class, acyl halides react readily with water to yield the parent acid and hydrogen halide(1)..
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
