USEPA; Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances; Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (ADBAC) EPA739-R-06-009 (August 2006). The RED summarizes the risk assessment conclusions and outlines any risk reduction measures necessary for the pesticide to continue to be registered in the U.S.[Available from, as of November 4, 2014: http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/reregistration/status.htm]

The Agency has determined that ADBAC /alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride/-containing products are eligible for reregistration provided that: (i) current data gaps and confirmatory data needs are addressed; (ii) the risk mitigation measure outlined in this document is adopted; and (iii) label amendments are made to reflect this measure. ... Based on its evaluation of ADBAC, the Agency has determined that ADBAC products, unless labeled and used as specified in this document, would present risks inconsistent with FIFRA. Accordingly, should a registrant fail to implement the risk mitigation measure identified in this document, the Agency may take regulatory action to address the risk concerns from the use of ADBAC. If all changes outlined in this document are incorporated into the product labels, then all current risks for ADBAC will be substantially mitigated for the purposes of this determination. Once an Endangered Species assessment is completed, further changes to these registrations may be necessary as explained in Section III of this document.

As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their continued use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines newer health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether the use of the pesticide does not pose unreasonable risk in accordance to newer safety standards, such as those described in the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride is found on List A, which contains most pesticides that are used on foods and, hence, have a high potential for human exposure. List A consists of the 194 chemical cases (or 350 individual active ingredients) for which EPA issued registration standards prior to FIFRA '88. Case No: 0350; Pesticide type: antimicrobial; Registration Standard Date: 09/30/85; Case Status: OPP is reviewing data from the pesticide's producers regarding its human health and/or environmental effects, or OPP is determining the pesticide's eligibility for reregistration and developing the RED document.; Active ingredient (AI): Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride; AI Status: The producers of the pesticide have made commitments to conduct the studies and pay the fees required for reregistration, and are meeting those commitments in a timely manner.

Primary Dermal Irritation, rabbit: Corrosive /ADBAC/

A skin and eye irritant.

Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Advice for firefighters: Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

Accidental Release Measures. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity 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 quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

Waste treatment methods. Product: Offer surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Contaminated packaging: Dispose of as unused product.

SRP: 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.

Precautions for safe handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Appropriate engineering controls. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

SRP: Local exhaust ventilation should be applied wherever there is an incidence of point source emissions or dispersion of regulated contaminants in the work area. Ventilation control of the contaminant as close to its point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne contaminants. Ensure that the local ventilation moves the contaminant away from the worker.

Eye/face protection: Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection: Handle with gloves.

Body Protection: Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 9X10+5(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.3X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.6X10-10 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2). Biodegradation is the ultimate fate of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) released to wastewater treatment and the environment(3). Reported biodegradation measurements of QACs have varied from 0-100%, but some reported values may not distinguish between actual biodegradation, sorption and complexation mechanisms(3). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test and a mixture of decyl-, dodecyl- and tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, 0% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(4) indicating that biodegradation can be slow. Another MITI study reported a degradation of 83% in 10 days(5). Acclimation may be a major factor that influences biodegradation of QACs(3). Greater than 70% removal of 20 mg/L tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride was observed using a continuous-flow activated sludge system in a wastewater treatment plant(3).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 9X10+5(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.3X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). According to a classification scheme(4), a BCF range of <0.2-8.6 measured in carp (Cyprinus carpio)(5), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Biodegradation is the ultimate fate of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) released to wastewater treatment and the environment(6). Reported biodegradation measurements of QACs have varied from 0-100%, but some reported values may not distinguish between actual biodegradation, sorption and complexation mechanisms(6). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test and a mixture of decyl-, dodecyl- and tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, 0% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(5) indicating that biodegradation can be slow. Another MITI study reported a degradation of 83% in 10 days(7). Acclimation may be a major factor that influences biodegradation of QACs(6). Greater than 70% removal of 20 mg/L tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride was observed using a continuous-flow activated sludge system in a wastewater treatment plant(6). Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups(3).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 3.6X10-10 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride is a white crystalline powder. It is used as a surfactant and detergent. It is a registered US pesticide used as an algicide, bacteriocide, bacteriostat, wood preservative, fungicide, fungistat, virucide, tuberculocide, insecticide, microbiocide, microbiostat, molluscide, deodorant, disinfectant, and sanitizer. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Human data could not be located. ANIMAL STUDIES: Tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride was corrosive in a rabbit dermal test, but it was not sensitizing in guinea pigs. It was not is not carcinogenic based on studies in rats and mice. It is not mutagenic or genotoxic. It was highly active in causing hemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes.

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride can be estimated to be 9X10+5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is expected to be immobile in soil.

AEROBIC: Biodegradation is the ultimate fate of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) released to wastewater treatment and the environment(1). Reported biodegradation measurements of QACs have varied from 0-100%, but some reported values may not distinguish between actual biodegradation, sorption and complexation mechanisms(1). One reported MITI test determined tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride degradation to be 83% after 10 days(2), but the same source reported only 0-5% degradation for the similar hexadecyl- and octadecyl-dimethylammonium chlorides(2). A decyl-, dodecyl- and tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride mixture, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(3). Greater than 70% removal of 20 mg/L tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride was observed using a continuous-flow activated sludge system in a wastewater treatment plant(1). Acclimation may be a major factor that influences biodegradation of QACs(1).

BCF ranges of <0.2-5.9 at 0.5 mg/L and <1.8-8.6 at 0.05 mg/L were measured in fish for a decyl-, dodecyl- and tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride mixture(1) using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF ranges suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is estimated as 1.3X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(2). Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to occur(SRC). Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.6X10-10 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(1).

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ The degree of primary irritation of alkyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chlorides on rabbit eye mucosa was: dodecyl greater than tetradecyl, octadecyl greater than eicosanyl greater than octyl, and that on the skin was: tetradecyl, dodecyl greater than octodecyl greater than eicosanyl greater than octyl.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Chronic Exposure or Carcinogenicity/ ADBAC is not carcinogenic based on studies in rats and mice. /ADBAC/

/GENOTOXICITY/ ADBAC is not mutagenic or genotoxic. /ADBAC/

/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ Benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride was highly active in causing hemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes. The activity incr with increasing alkyl chain length from C8-C18. With the exception of the tetradecyl homolog, hemolytic activity of quaternary ammonium salts having the same alkyl group increased with chlorine substitution of the benzyl group.

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 4.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 9 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups(2). Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

According to the 2012 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed in the industrial manufacturing, processing, and use of tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is 100-499; the data may be greatly underestimated(1).

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 26,968 workers (5,314 of these are female) are potentially exposed to tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride in the US(1). Occupational exposure to tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is produced or used(SRC). The general population may be exposed to tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride via the use of household consumer products containing tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride(SRC).

Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride's production and use as a surfactant and detergent, and germicide may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 3.6X10-10 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride will exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. If released to soil, tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is expected to have no mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 9X10+5. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.3X10-11 atm-cu m/mole. Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride will not volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. Biodegradation is the ultimate fate of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) released to wastewater treatment and the environment. If released into water, tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water based upon the estimated Koc. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test and a mixture of decyl-, dodecyl- and tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, 0% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks indicating that biodegradation can be slow. Another MITI study reported a degradation of 83% in 10 days. Acclimation may be a major factor that influences biodegradation of QACs. Greater than 70% removal of 20 mg/L tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride was observed using a continuous-flow activated sludge system in a wastewater treatment plant. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. A BCF range of <0.2-8.6 suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride is not expected t

A quaternary ammonia compound.

Several bacteria resistant to the benzalkonium chloride tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (i) were isolated. A representative strain, tentatively identified as enterobacter cloacae, grew even in the presence of about 10% (i).

Oil-adsorbing fibrous materials are produced from polyolefins containing anionic or cationic surfactants (0.1-2% of polyolefins). The product has a high oil-adsorbing capacity and yet is insol in oil, hence it has a high filtration capacity. Thus, a mixt of polypropylene and tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (0.5% of polypropylene) was melt-spun to 5-denier filament.

Tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride is contained in a hygienic prepn for the prevention of growth of bacteria in footwear and clothing.
