Tetradec-1-en

Extinguish with dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective on fire. Cool exposed containers with water. (USCG, 1999)

Use dry powder, dry sand, carbon dioxide.

Fresh air, rest.

Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.

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.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: If released to soil, estimated soil adsorption coefficients ranging from 19,700 to 32,300(1-3,SRC) indicate that 1-tetradecene will be essentially immobile in soil(4). Its estimated Henry's Law constant, 8.48 atm-cu m/mole(3,SRC), indicates that 1-tetradecene may rapidly volatilize from moist soil to the atmosphere although expected strong adsorption to soil may attenuate the rate of this process(SRC). The vapor pressure of 1-tetradecene, 1.5X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) indicates that volatilization from dry soil to the atmosphere will be very slow. Pure culture studies indicate that 1-tetradecene has the potential to biodegrade in soil under aerobic conditions(5-10,SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: If released to water, estimated bioconcentration factors ranging from 17500 to 51000(1-3,SRC) indicate that 1-tetradecene will bioconcentrate in fish and aquatic organisms(SRC). Estimated soil adsorption coefficients ranging from 19,700 to 32,300(1-3,SRC) indicate that it will strongly adsorb to sediment and suspended organic matter(SRC). Its estimated Henry's Law constant, 8.48 atm-cu m/mole(3,SRC), indicates that 1-tetradecene may rapidly volatilize from water to the atmosphere. The estimated half-life for volatilization from a model river 1 m deep flowing at 1 m/sec with a wind speed of 3 m/sec is 4.1 hrs(1,SRC). Its expected strong adsorption to soil may attenuate the rate of this process. The estimated half-life for volatilization from a model pond, which takes into account adsorptive processes, is 7.3 months(4,SRC). Pure culture studies indicate that 1-tetradecene has the potential to biodegrade in water under aerobic conditions(5-10,SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: If released to the atmosphere, 1-tetradecene may undergo removal by gas-phase reactions with atmospheric oxidants. An estimated rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of 1-tetradecene with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals of 4.2X10-13 cu cm/molec sec(1,SRC) translates to an atmospheric half-life of 9.3 hrs using an average atmospheric hydroxyl radical concn of 5X10+5 molec/cu cm(1). An estimated rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of 1-tetradecene with ozone of 1.2X10-17 cu cm/molec sec(1,SRC) translates to an atmospheric half-life of 23 hrs(SRC) using an average atmospheric ozone concn of 7X10+11 molec/cu cm(1).

Estimated soil adsorption coefficients ranging from 19,700 to 32,300 can be calculated for 1-tetradecene using appropriate regression equations(1) and its estimated water solubility, 4.0X10-4 mg/L at 25 °C(1,SRC) obtained from a vapor pressure of 1.5X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) and estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.48 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C(3,SRC), and its estimated octanol/water partition coefficient, 7.3(1,SRC), obtained from its estimated water solubility. These soil adsorption coefficients indicate that 1-tetradecene will be essentially immobile in soil(4).

ORG CMPD ISOLATED FROM GRAB OR COMPOSITE SAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL & MUNICIPAL DISCHARGES & OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER. OF THE 213 CMPD, 74 WERE LONG-CHAIN HYDROCARBONS.

1-Tetradecene is used as a specialty solvent in perfumes, flavors, medicines, dyes, oils and resins(1). It may be released to the environment as a fugitive emission during its production and use, and as a result of the combustion of agricultural plastics(2).

COMMERCIAL HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE CONTAINERS CONTAINED 42-120 PPM 1-TETRACECENE.

Incubation of 1-tetradecene with fungi resulted in the formation of tetradecanoic acid, tetradecen-4-ol, 13-tetradecen-4-ol, tetradecen-3-ol, 13-tetradecene-4-on, tetradecan-2-one and tetradecen-3-one(1-2). Pure cultures of Corynebacterium sp.(3), Pseudomonas aerginosa(4), Micrococcus cerficans(5), and members of the genus Candida(6) were found to oxidize 1-tetradecene under aerobic conditions.

Estimated bioconcentration factors ranging from 17500 to 51000(1,SRC) can be calculated for 1-tetradecene using appropriate regression equations(1) and its estimated water solubility, 4.0X10-4 mg/L at 25 °C(1,SRC) obtained from a vapor pressure of 1.5X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) and estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.48 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C(3,SRC), and its estimated octanol/water partition coefficient, 7.3(1,SRC), obtained from its estimated water solubility. These values indicate that 1-tetradecene will bioconcentrate in fish and aquatic organisms(SRC).

Based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.48 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C(1,SRC), 1-tetradecene is expected to rapidly volatilize from water and moist soil to the atmosphere. The estimated half-life for volatilization from a model river 1 m deep flowing at 1 m/sec with a wind speed of 3 m/sec is 4.1 hrs(2,SRC). Its expected strong adsorption to soil and sediment may attenuate the rate of this process(SRC). The estimated half-life for volatilization from a model pond, which takes into account adsorptive processes, is 7.3 months(3,SRC). The vapor pressure of 1-tetradecene, 1.5X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(4) indicates that volatilization from dry soil will not be an important fate process(SRC).

THE TOXICITY OF N-ALKENES TOWARD CANDIDA TROPICALIS WAS RELATED TO THEIR SOLUBILITIES IN AN AQ MEDIUM. N-ALKENES LONGER THAN C12 GENERALLY DID NOT INHIBIT YEAST GROWTH AND RESPIRATION.

An estimated rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of 1-tetradecene with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals of 4.2X10-13 cu cm/molec sec(1,SRC) translates to an atmospheric half-life of 9.3 hrs(SRC) using an average atmospheric hydroxyl radical concn of 5X10+5 molec/cu cm(1). An estimated rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of 1-tetradecene with ozone of 1.2X10-17 cu cm/molec sec(1,SRC) translates to an atmospheric half-life of 23 hrs(SRC) using an average atmospheric ozone concn of 7X10+11 molec/cu cm(1).
