Erste HilfeEYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

Freisetung ohne BrandSMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: Should a spill occur while you are handling this chemical, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with 60-70% ethanol and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with 60-70% ethanol to pick up any remaining material. Seal the absorbent paper, and any of your clothes, which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.
EntsorgungsverfahrenSRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air qualitypotential migration in soil or watereffects on animal, aquatic, and plant lifeand conformance with environmental and public health regulations.PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": There is no universal method of disposal that has been proved satisfactory for all carcinogenic compounds & specific methods of chem destruction ... published have not been tested on all kinds of carcinogen-containing waste. ... summary of avail methods & recommendations ... /given/ must be treated as guide only. /Chemical Carcinogens/PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": ...

WechselwirkungenPretreatment of rats with sodium methotrexate (1 mg, orally, daily for 5 days) or vincristine sulfate (0.03 mg/kg, iv, weekly for 3 wk) markedly reduced biliary excretion of phenolphthalein (10 mg/kg, iv) indicating that hepatic function was decreased.
UmweltverhaltenTERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 490(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 490(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that phenolphthalein is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of phenolphthalein from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.0X10-16 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Phenolphthalein is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 6.7X10-13 mm Hg(5).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 490(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 2.41(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that phenolphthalein is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.0X10-16 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 14(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(6), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), phenolphthalein, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 6.7X10-13 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase phenolphthalein may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC).

Carcinogen ClassificationPhenolphthaleinGroup 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humansVolume 76: (2000) Some Antiviral and Antineoplastic Drugs, and Other Pharmaceutical Agents1999
Environmental BioconcentrationAn estimated BCF of 14 was calculated for phenolphthalein(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.41(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).
Volatilization from Water/SoilThe Henry's Law constant for phenolphthalein is estimated as 9.0X10-16 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that phenolphthalein is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(2). Phenolphthalein's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may not occur(SRC). Phenolphthalein is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based uponan estimated vapor pressure of 6.7X10-13 mm Hg(3).

Beschreibung

Phenolphthalein bildet weiße bis gelbliche trikline Kristalle mit einem Schmelzpunkt von 258-262 ℃. Es löst sich in Ethanol und Ether, aber nur wenig in Chloroform. Ein Gramm Phenolphthalein löst sich in 12 ml Ethanol oder in ungefähr 100 ml Ether. In Wasser ist es praktisch nicht löslich. In Alkali-Laugen und heißen Alkalicarbonat-Lösungen löst es sich mit fuchsinroter Farbe. Eine 1%-ige alkoholische Phenolphthalein-Lösung wird oft als Titrations-Indikator verwendet. Der Umschlagsbereich von farblos nach rot liegt dabei bei pH 8-9. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung der Reaktionen von Phenolphthalein bei verschiedenen pH-Werte ist im folgen Artikel zu finden: G. Wittke,

Verwenden

Phenolphthalein can be used as an inhibitor and pH indicator. It also induces centrosome amplification and tubulin depolymerization in vitro.
