| Preventive Measures | SRP: The scientific literature supports the wearing of contact lenses in industrial environments, as part of a program to protect the eye against chemical compounds and minerals causing eye irritation. 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.SAFE-HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD INCL USE OF ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO BE CERTAIN THAT AVG CONCN ARE WELL BELOW 1000 PPM, & AVOIDANCE OF EXCESSIVE OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT. METHYLAL SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH DUE REGARD FOR ITS FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES.To prevent injury from occurring as a result of contact with an aldehyde in the form of liquid or vapor, the process in which the substance is present should, if possible be conducted in enclosed plant. If openings are necessary for the purposes of manipulation, vapor should be prevented from escaping into the workroom by the application of exhaust ventilation to the plant or enclosure. When the process cannot be enclosed, exhaust ventilation hoods should be fitted to trap and extract escaping vapor before it can diffuse into the workroom atmosphere. /Aldehydes and ketals/The worker should immediately wash the skin when it becomes contaminated.Work clothing that becomes wet should be immediately removed due to its flammability hazard. |
| Körperbelastung | In the EPA National Human Adipose Survey for fiscal year 1982, 46 composite samples categorized broadly by region and age group were analyzed for pollutants(1). Methylal was identified in one sample from the northeast US in the >45 age group. |
| Zielorgane | Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system |
| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: If released on land, methylal would volatilize rapidly due to its high vapor pressure and Henry's Law constant and low adsorptivity to soil. It would also exhibit high mobility in soil. The importance of biodegradation in soil is unknown. (SRC)AQUATIC FATE: If released to water, methylal will be primarily lost through volatilization. Its half-life in a model river is estimated from a calculated Henry's Law constant to be 7.2 hr(1-3). Adsorption to sediment and particulate matter in the water column, and bioconcentration should not be important. The importance of biodegradation in water is unknown. Hydrolysis is fairly slow(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: The atmosphere is the sink for methylal. In the atmosphere, methylal will degrade by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals. The half-life for this reaction is estimated to be 2.3 days(1). Methylal is highly soluble in water, 2.44X10+5 ppm(2), and would be washed out by rain. However, methylal thus remove would be recycled back into the atmosphere. (SRC) |

| Effluent Concentrations | In a comprehensive survey of wastewater from 4000 industrial and publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) sponsored by the Effluent Guidelines Division of the U.S. EPA, methylal was identified in discharges of the following industrial category (positive occurrencesmedian concn in ppb): leather tanning (11637.5), plastics and synthetics (330.8), organic chemicals (645.6), publicly owned treatment works (35.0)(1). The highest effluent concn was 1637 ppb in the leather tanning industry(1). Detected in effluent concentrates from the advanced treatment plant in Orange County, CA, but not in that of five other communities(2). |
| ICSC Environmental Data | Environmental effects of the substance have been adequately investigated, but no significant effects have been found. |
| Soil Adsorption/Mobility | The Koc for methylal estimated from its water solubility, 2.44X10+5 ppm(1), by a recommended regression equation is 5(2). Therefore methylal would be very mobile in soil(3). |

| Artificial Pollution Sources | Methylal used as a solvent and reagent in organic synthesis(2) may be released to the environment in waste water and as fugitive emissions relating to its manufacture and use. Mean vapor emission rates of methylal measured at two locations at an industrial waste water treatment facility in December were 28.6 and 14.7 mg/min sq-m, at which time the ambient and liquid surface temperatures were 6 and 15 °C, respectively(1).METHYLAL WAS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS IN WASTE WATER FROM A UREA-FORMALDEHYDE GLUE PLANT. |
| Environmental Biodegradation | A reduction in BOD in 8 hr was obtained in one study in which well acclimated sewage seed was incubated with 333 ppm of methylal(1). However this reduction was small compared with the theoretical oxygen demand and toxicity resulted in an initial increase in BOD. |

Anwendungen & Verwendung
Verwenden
Dimethoxymethane (Methylal) is a valuable extraction solvent for pharmaceutical products and a stable, inexpensive solvent for Grignard reactions. Methylal is stable under alkaline and mild acidic conditions. Its dissolving ability is stronger than ether, acetone, and methanol and azeotrope can dissolve nitrocellulose with high nitrogen content. Dimethoxymethane is mainly used in the production of anion-exchange resins, and also as solvents and special fuels.
