The Report on Carcinogens is an informational scientific and public health document that identifies and discusses substances (including agents, mixtures, or exposure circumstances) that may pose a carcinogenic hazard to human health. 3-Chloro-2-methyl-1-propene (563-47-3) is listed as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.[Available from, as of July 31, 2009: http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/profiles/s0403c2m.pdf] |
| Fire fighting | Excerpt from ERG Guide 130 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible / Noxious)polymerization hazard]:Use powder, carbon dioxide, foam. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| First aid measures | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rest. Refer for medical attention . |
| Accidental release measures | · CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.· ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. |
| First aid | EYES: 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: |
| Safe storage | Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants and strong bases. Cooled. Well closed. Ventilation along the floor. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. |
| Exposure control and personal protection | · Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). |
| Fire fighting procedures | Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog because solid streams of water may spread fire. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water, being sure to apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.Personnel protection: Keep upwind of fire and avoid breathing vapors. Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment and be sure to wash away any material which may have contacted the body, with copious amounts of soap and water.Wear boots, protective gloves, goggles and a self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires. |
| Nonfire spill response | Excerpt from ERG Guide 130 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible / Noxious)polymerization hazard]: |
| Disposal methods | SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. |
| Spillage disposal | Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. |
| Preventive Measures | Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment and be sure to wash away any material which may have contacted the body, with copious amounts of soap and water.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. |

| Environmental fate | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 81(SRC), determined from a measured water solubility(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene will have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene may be important from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.7X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values for water solubility(2) and vapor pressure(4). Volatilization from dry soil surfaces(SRC) is expected based on a measured vapor pressure of 101.7 mm Hg(4). Based on limited data, 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene is expected to biodegrade under aerobic conditions in soilin screening tests, this compound reached 42%(5) of the theoretical BOD in 5 days and 89-107% of the theoretical BOD in 28 days(2).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 81(SRC), determined from a measured water solubility(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(1), indicates that 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene should not adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). 3-Chloro-2-methyl-1-propene may volatilize from water surfaces(1,SRC) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.7X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values for water solubility(2) and vapor pressure(3). Estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake are 3 hours and 4 days, respectively(1,SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF value of 10(1,SRC), from a measured water solubility(2), suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Based on limited data, 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene is expected to biodegrade under aerobic conditions in waterATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene, which has a measured vapor pressure of 101.7 mm Hg at 20 °C(2), will exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals and ozone(SRC)the half-lives for these reactions in air are estimated to be about 10 and 27 hours, respectively(3,SRC). |
