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.；SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas.；INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing.；INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Corrosive chemicals will destroy the membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and volatile chemicals have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting. Thus, the risk of increasing the medical problems by inducing vomiting of a volatile corrosive chemical is very high. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that chloroacetaldehyde is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of chloroacetaldehyde from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.4X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). Chloroacetaldehyde is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 64.3 mm Hg at 25 °C(4). Biodegradation of chloroacetaldehyde may be important based on degradation studies of 2-chloroethanol which has been shown to degrade via 2-chloroacetaldehyde and 2-chloroacetate to glycollic acid by Pseudomonas CE1r that was isolated from soil(5).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that chloroacetaldehyde is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.4X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 35 hours and 13 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 0.09(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Chloroacetaldehyde has a reported hydrolysis rate of 2X10-6 to 5X10-6/hour at 37 °C(6). Biodegradation of chloroacetaldehyde may be important based on degradation studies of 2-chloroethanol which has been shown to degrade via 2-chloroacetaldehyde and 2-chloroacetate to glycollic acid by Pseudomonas CE1r that was isolated from soil(7).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), chloroacetaldehyde, which has a vapor pressure of 64.3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase chloroacetaldehyde 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 4.3 days, calculated from its rate constant of 3.1X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec(3). Chloroacetaldehyde 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).

Periodic Medical Examination: Any employee developing the above-listed conditions should be referred for further medical examination.

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of chloroacetaldehyde can be estimated to be 1(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that chloroacetaldehyde is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ During low exposures, the initial discomfort generally abated after 5 or 10 minutes but recurred if exposure resumed after interruption. Any vapor concentration producing even slight irritation in humans was believed to be potentially injurious on single, prolonged or repeated exposure. Eye contact by a 40% aqueous solution presented a serious hazard of injury, including tissue destruction.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ ... The low-molecular-weight aldehydes and the halogenated aldehydes, such as chloroacetaldehyde, were particularly irritating and presented a serious hazard from exposure to the vapors. The mucous membranes of the nasal and oral passages and the upper respiratory tract were affected, producing a burning sensation, an increased ventillation rate, bronchial constriction, choking, and coughing. The eyes teared and a burning sensation was noted on the skin of the face.

/GENOTOXICITY/ Chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) reacts with DNA bases, forming hydroxyethano derivatives of different stability, which are subsequently converted into etheno (epsilon) adducts: epsilon A, epsilon C, epsilon G. DNA polymerase fingerprint analysis was used to study the distribution of CAA-induced modifications in the p53 sequence. A plasmid bearing cDNA containing the human p53 gene was reacted in vitro with CAA, then dehydrated for conversion of hydroxyethano into etheno adducts, and primer extension by T7 DNA polymerase in the presence of four dNTPs was performed. The DNA repair enzymes methylpurine-DNA glycosylase and Escherichia coli exonuclease III were used to convert epsilon A residues in the template into DNA strand breaks, which enabled precise localization of the epsilon A residues within the p53 gene. Hydroxyethano derivatives of adenine and cytosine in a template blocked T7 DNA polymerase and caused premature chain termination opposite adenine or one base before cytosine. After dehydration, both epsilon A and epsilon C were much more easily by-passed by T7 DNA polymerase. Formation of epsilon G was identified as 'stop bands' one base before guanine residues. Modification of cytosine and guanine was additionally recognized by weakening or disappearance of non-specific stops on an undamaged template, probably due to steric hindrance by the tertiary DNA structure for polymerase. Etheno adduction of cytosine and guanine relaxed the compact DNA structure and enabled DNA polymerase to by-pass. In exons 5-8 of p53, 143 out of 500 sites appeared to be damaged by CAA, with four particularly densely modified regions between codons 135-147, 218-222, 234-255 and 284-292. The pattern of modification followed the pattern of p53 mutations found in vinyl chloride-associated liver angiosarcomas in humans and rats, but only in regions that showed 100% homology with the human sequence. ...

/GENOTOXICITY/ Vinyl chloride (VC), a known human and rodent carcinogen, is metabolically activated by cytochrome P450 to chloroethylene oxide (CEO), which can rearrange to chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) or undergo hydrolysis. To further understand the roles of CEO and CAA in VC mutagenesis, the types and frequencies of mutations induced at the hypoxanthine (guanine) phosphoribosyl-transferase (hprt) locus were examined in a human B-lymphoblastoid line constitutively expressing human cytochrome P450 2E1 (H2E1 cells). VC was toxic and mutagenic to H2E1 cells as a function of incubation time; exposure to 7.5% VC in air resulted in 75% survival and an hprt mutant frequency of 42 x 10(-6) after 48 hr, compared to 5.7 +/- 2.7 x 10(-6) for unexposed cells. The exposure of H2E1 cells to 0.8 to 15.0% VC in air produced similar mutant frequencies without a clear dose-response relationship, suggesting saturation of metabolic activation. Both CEO and CAA exhibited dose-dependent increases in cell killing and mutant frequency in H2E1 cells. Treatment with 16 uM CEO for 24 hr resulted in 75% survival and an induced mutant frequency of 23 x 10(-6), while 16 uM CAA produced 5% survival and an induced mutant frequency of 20 x 10(-6). Structural alterations at the hprt locus in independent thioguanine-resistant clones were examined by Southern blot analysis of Pst I-digested DNA with a full-length human hprt cDNA probe. Ten percent (5/50) of VC-induced and 18% (7/38) of CEO-induced mutants showed detectable deletions, compared with 45% (9/20) of CAA-induced mutants. Thus, VC and CEO displayed similar toxicity/mutation profiles and a similar frequency of large deletions, whereas CAA displayed greater toxicity and a larger frequency of deletion mutations. These results suggest that the majority of mutations induced by VC occur through its metabolite, CEO.

P023; As stipulated in 40 CFR 261.33, when acetaldehyde, chloro-, as a commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate or an off-specification commercial chemical product or a manufacturing chemical intermediate, becomes a waste, it must be managed according to federal and/or state hazardous waste regulations. Also defined as a hazardous waste is any container or inner liner used to hold this waste or any residue, contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into water or on dry land, of this waste. Generators of small quantities of this waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR 261.5(e)).

Section 8(a) of TSCA requires manufacturers of this chemical substance to report preliminary assessment information concerned with production, exposure, and use to EPA as cited in the preamble in 51 FR 41329. Effective date: 9/30/91; Reporting date: 11/27/91.

Pursuant to section 8(d) of TSCA, EPA promulgated a model Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule. The section 8(d) model rule requires manufacturers, importers, and processors of listed chemical substances and mixtures to submit to EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies. Acetaldehyde, chloro- is included on this list. Effective date: 9/30/91; Sunset date: 6/30/98.

Persons in charge of vessels or facilities are required to notify the National Response Center (NRC) immediately, when there is a release of this designated hazardous substance, in an amount equal to or greater than its reportable quantity of 1000 lb or 454 kg.

2-Chloroacetaldehyde a metabolic breakdown product of vinyl-chloride, was reacted with pyrimidine nucleosides in methanol to study adduct formation. After trimethylsilylation, products were analyzed by combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Reaction of 3-methyluridine with 2-chloroacetaldehyde indicated that it can react with both the 3-methyluracil and ribose moieties. Molecular ions suggest that 2-chloroacetaldehyde attaches a 1-hydroxy-2-chloroethyl group to the 3-methyluracil moiety. 2-Chloroacetaldehyde not only formed etheno derivatives and oxoethyl adducts, respectively, but also yielded other types of adducts with nucleic acids. 2-Chloroacetaldehyde reacted with free nucleosides or single stranded nucleic acids to yield cyclic etheno derivatives. Model nucleosides (cytosine or uracil) in which the most nucleophilic site (the N-3 position) was blocked by a methyl group were treated with 2-chloroacetaldehyde to investigate whether these adducts are formed in native DNA. GC/MS analyses suggested that 2-chloroacetaldehyde can add a 2-chlorovinyl group to 3-methylcytosine.

Chloroacetaldehyde can be oxidized to chloroacetatic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase followed by conjugation with glutathione and finally give rise to the formation of the urinary metabolite thiodiglycolic acid. Chloroacetaldehyde may be also directly conjugated with GSH.

The metabolism of 2-(13)C-chloroacetaldehyde at doses of 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 mg/kg b.w. and that of 2-(13)C-chloroacetaldehyde at a dose of 5.9 mg/kg b.w. were studied in the isolated perfused rabbit heart model using carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance. We have shown that, whereas chloroacetaldehyde is cardiotoxic at doses above 2 mg/kg b.w., this toxic effect is not accompanied by an increase in intramyocardial citrate levels. Chloroacetate, its main metabolite, is not cardiotoxic. The metabolism of chloroacetaldehyde is complex and leads, in addition to chloroethanol, glycolic acid, conjugates of glutathione with chloroacetate or chloroethanol (and/or their metabolites, S-(2-carboxymethyl) cysteine, N-acetyl-S-(2-carboxymethyl) cysteine, S-(2-hydroxymethyl)cysteine) and thiodiglycolic acid. Low amounts of chloroacetate are metabolized by isolated perfused rabbit hearts into glycolic acid and glutathione conjugate (and/or its metabolites, S-(2-carboxymethyl) cysteine, N-acetyl-S-(2-carboxymethyl)cysteine). ...

Simultaneous introduction of vinyl chloride and chlorine into water at ca. 20 °C forms chloroacetaldehyde in a nearly quantitative yield if its concentration in the reaction solution is not allowed to rise above ca. 5 wt %. At a higher concentration, increasing amounts of 1,1,2-trichloroethane are formed. This method yields only a dilute solution of chloroacetaldehyde. Concentrated aqueous solutions of chloroacetaldehyde are obtained in nearly quantitative yields by the reaction of chlorine with vinyl acetate in water at room temperature. As an intermediate 1,2-dichloroethyl acetate is formed, which is quantitatively hydrolyzed at elevated temperatures. The resulting solution is purified by distillation.

Monochloroacetaldehyde is also obtained in high yield by pyrolysis of chloroethylene carbonate in the presence of quaternary ammonium salts.

Direct chlorination of dry acetaldehyde or paraldehyde gives only a low yield of monochloroacetaldehyde. Azeotropic dehydration of the hemihydrate with chloroform, toluene, or carbon tetrachloride followed by distillation over anhydrous calcium chloride gives better yields.

Anhydrous monochloroacetaldehyde is obtained in high yield by the depolymerization of trichloroparaldehyde or polychloroacetaldehyde at 145 °C in the presence of oxalic acid or trichloroacetic acid.
