SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
The substance polymerizes under the influence of acids, heat and peroxides. This generates fire or explosion hazard. On combustion, forms toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163). Reacts violently with strong oxidants and powdered metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Reacts with water. This produces hydrochloric acid. Attacks plastics, rubber and coatings.
10.2 Chemical stability
no data available
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame ...The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.ALLYL CHLORIDE presents a serious fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat, flame or oxidizing agents. Polymerizes violently and exothermically with Lewis acids (aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride, sulfuric acid) or metals (aluminum, magnesium, zinc, or galvanized metal) [MCA SD-99, 1973]. Incompatible with acids (nitric acid, chlorosulfonic acid, oleum), with strong bases (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide), with ethyleneimine and ethylenediamine [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 36]. Attempts to alkylate benzene or toluene using allyl chloride in the presence of ethylaluminum chlorides have led to explosions.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials
Contact with aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride, or sulfuric acid may cause a violent exothermic polymerization. Contact with aluminum, magnesium, zinc (or galvanized metals) may produce similar results.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
Toxic gases and vapors (such as ... phosgene and carbon monoxide) may be released in fire .
SECTION 11: Toxicological information
Acute toxicity
- Oral: LD50 - rat (female) - 275 mg/kg bw. Remarks:CDF rats, moving average method.
- Inhalation: LC50: not determinable as rats were sacrificed at day 3 to 7 - rat (male/female) - 0 ppm.
- Dermal: LD50 - rabbit (male/female) - 398 mg/kg bw.
Skin corrosion/irritation
no data available
Serious eye damage/irritation
no data available
Respiratory or skin sensitization
no data available
Germ cell mutagenicity
no data available
Carcinogenicity
CLASSIFICATION: C; possible human carcinogen. BASIS FOR CLASSIFICATION: Classification is based on a low (but biologically important) incidence of forestomach tumors in female mice and positive results in a variety of genetic toxicity tests. Allyl chloride is an alkylating agent and structurally related to probable human carcinogens. HUMAN CARCINOGENICITY DATA: None. ANIMAL CARCINOGENICITY DATA: Limited.
Reproductive toxicity
no data available
STOT-single exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Inhalation of high concentrations of the vapour may cause lung oedema. See Notes. The effects may be delayed.
STOT-repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the peripheral nervous system, cardiovascular system, kidneys and liver. This may result in kidney impairment and liver impairment.
Aspiration hazard
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: NOEC - Poecilia reticulata - 1.2 mg/L - 14 d.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: LC50 - Daphnia magna - 250 mg/L - 24 h. Remarks:Loss of ability to swim.
- Toxicity to algae: NOEC - Scenedesmus quadricauda - 6.3 mg/L - 8 d.
- Toxicity to microorganisms: NOEC - activated sludge - 120 mg/L - 2.5 h.
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Allyl chloride, present at 100 mg/L, reached 62% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(1). In a standard biodegradability test using a sewage seed, 14 and 25% of the theoretical BOD was achieved in 5 days using nonacclimated and acclimated seed, respectively(2). In a test using activated sludge, allyl chloride was readily biodegradable(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values of <0.14 and <1.3 when exposed to concns of 0.5 and 0.05 ppm, respectively, were measured for allyl chloride(SRC), using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of allyl chloride is estimated as 51(SRC), using a water solubility of 3,370 mg/L(1) and a regression derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that allyl chloride is expected to have high mobility in soil.
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.

Other Information
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered.
