SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. Substance may be transported hot. For hybrid vehicles, ERG Guide 147 (lithium ion batteries) or ERG Guide 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. If molten aluminum is involved, refer to ERG Guide 169. (ERG, 2016)

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Accidental release measures: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust.; Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Camphene, present at 100 mg/L, reached 2% percent of its Theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). Camphene, as a component of kraft pulp mill wastewater, was found to biodegrade in aerated treatment lagoons after 7 days(2). Aerobic screening studies in which aqueous landfill leachate containing camphene was incubated with soil and sludge inocula and demonstrated approximately 80% degradation after 14 to 70 hours. Overall experimental data suggests that camphene may biodegrade under certain environmental conditions(3,4).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values ranging from 432 to 1290 were measured in fish for camphene using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 8-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF range suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high to very high(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of camphene can be estimated to be 1000(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that camphene is expected to have low 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.
