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.
Verschüttetes entsorgenRemove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in covered containers as far as possible. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Preventive MeasuresKeep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Use water spray to knock-down vapors. ... Avoid breathing vapors. Keep upwind. Avoid bodily contact with the material. Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water. If contact with the material anticipated, wear full protective clothing.If material not on fire and not involved in fire: Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Use water spray to to knock-down vapors. Neutralize spilled material with crushed limestone, soda ash, or lime.Personnel protection: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep upwind. Avoid bodily contact with the material. ... Do not handle broken packages unless wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water. If contact with the material anticipated, wear appropriate chemical protective clothing.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.SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in such a manner so that there is no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance to ascertain the completeness of the cleaning procedures should be implemented before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.

UmweltverhaltenTERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 77(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.94(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that isobutyric acid is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of isobutyric acid is 4.84(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process because anions do not volatilize. Isobutyric acid is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.81 mm Hg(6). Aerobic biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2008)however, under anaerobic conditions, isobutyric acid was metabolized by an enriched acetate culture cross acclimated with isobutyric acid at a rate of 250 mg/L following a 3 day lag period(7).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 77(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.94(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that isobutyric acid is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 4.84(4) indicates isobutyric acid will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(5). The half-life for isobutyric acid reacting with photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals in water has been calculated to be 1.7 years based on a reaction rate constant of 1.26X10+9 L/mol-sec(6) and a hydroxyl radical concn of 1X10-17 mol/L(7). According to a classification scheme(8), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(9), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Aerobic biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2008)however, under anaerobic conditions, isobutyric acid was metabolized by an enriched acetate culture cross acclimated with isobutyric acid at a rate of 250 mg/L following a 3 day lag period(10).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), isobutyric acid, which has a vapor pressure of 1.81 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase isobutyric acid is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 8 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.0X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3).
