Erste-Hilfe-MaßnahmenFresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention if skin irritation occurs.Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .
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.(General first aid procedures)
Sichere LagerungFireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.
BrandbekämpfungsverfahrenFor small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use very larg quantities (flooding) of water applied as a mist or spraysolid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
LagerbedingungenStore in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Moisture sensitive.Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.
ReinigungsverfahrenPersonal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapors adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations...Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Freisetung ohne BrandExcerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:
EntsorgungsverfahrenBurn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly flammable. Offer surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material.SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.
Verschüttetes entsorgenPersonal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Preventive MeasuresSRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits 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. The completeness of the cleaning procedures should be considered before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at the end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.The worker should wash daily at the end of each work shift, and prior to eating, drinking, smoking, etc.Work clothing that becomes wet should be immediately removed due to its flammability hazard (i.e., for liquids with a flash point <100 °F).Use protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulation to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas.
Isolation and EvacuationExcerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:
Körperbelastungn-Nonane was detected in 8 of 12 samples of mothers breast milk from the cities of Bayonne NJ, Jersey City NJ, Bridgeville PA and Baton Rouge LA(1). The air expired from humans contained n-nonane in 36.7% of the 387 samples collected from 54 subjects(2). The average n-nonane concentration of 0.308 ng/L was expressed as the geometric mean with upper and lower limits of 1.37 and 0.069 ng/L, respectively(2).The median concentration of n-nonane in personal air and breath samples were 3.2 and 0.3 ug/cu m, respectively, for 50 individuals in Los Angeles during the winter of 1987, 2.3 and not detected (<0.1-0.3) ug/cu m, respectively, for 40 individuals in Los Angeles during the summer of 1987, and 2.8 and 0.5 ug/cu m, respectively, for 75 individuals in Baltimore, MD during the spring of 1987(1). The at home median exposure of 26 individuals living in smoking homes to n-nonane was reported to be 0.82-0.89 ug-day/cu m(2). The at-home median exposure of 51 individuals living in nonsmoking homes to n-nonane was reported to be 0.76 ug-day/cu m(2). Median concentrations of n-nonane were 3.16, 2.71, 3.05, and 1.08 ug/cu m in personal, kitchen, living area, and outdoor air samples, respectively, collected from 50 individuals in Los Angeles, CA during the Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM) study(4). During the second German Environmental Survey, n-nonane was detected above 1 ug/cu m in 109 out of 113 personal exposure samples collected from individuals in the Western part of Germany(3). The 95th percentile and geometric mean concentrations in these samples were 26 and 3.3 ug/cu m, respectively(4).[
WechselwirkungenThe penetration enhancing effects of nonane on the in vivo penetration of 1 mg propranolol hydrochloride applied under topical occlusive conditions with and without the presence of 4% nonane to 12 human volunteers are described. Propranolol penetration increased from 0.705 to 1.402% of the applied dose in the presence of nonane. All 7 subjects receiving the enhancer sustained moderate to severe erythema with slight edema at the application site, with slight eschar formation observed in 2 subjects after 24 hr exposure. In in vitro studies propranolol bioavailability was increased from 1.03 to 2.28% of the applied dose.Alkaline phosphatase activity in liver, spleen, and bone marrow were increased in female rats exposed to n-octane or n-nonane for 2 and 7 days. The increase in splenic alkaline phosphatase activity persisted for up to 42 days after a single dose of either solvent. Pretreatment with protein formation inhibitors, cycloheximide or ethionine, removed this observed increase of alkaline phosphatase activity in liver and spleen.

UmweltverhaltenTERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 8.0X10+4(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 5.65(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that n-nonane is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of n-nonane from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 4.45 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 22 mg/L)(5). n-Nonane is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Evaporation was considered to be the primary removal mechanism during a study where n-nonane was completely removed from both sterile and non-sterile soils after 5 days(6). Under conditions where volatilization is hindered, biodegradation of n-nonane is expected to be an important fate process based on 100% degradation after 5 and 25 days in screening tests using seawater sediment and activated sewage sludge inocula, respectively(7,8), suggesting that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 8.0X10+4(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 5.65(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that n-nonane is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 4.45 mm Hg(5), and water solubility, 22 mg/L)(6). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(4), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 3.3 hours and 4.5 days, respectively(SRC). However, volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in the water column. The estimated volatilization half-life from a model pond is 155 days if adsorption is considered(7). According to a classification scheme(8), an estimated BCF of 100(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC). Based on 100% degradation after 5 days in water inoculated with seawater sediment(9) and 100% degradation after 25 days in water inoculated with activated sewage sludge(10), biodegradation is expected to be an important fate process for n-nonane in water(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), n-nonane, which has a vapor pressure of 4.45 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase n-nonane 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 1.7 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.02X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). n-Nonane does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
