General First Aid:

Suitable extinguishing media: Dry powder, dry sand. Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do NOT use water jet.

Advice for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

To fight fire, use foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. 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: Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local/national regulations.

SRP: 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 air, soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations. If it is possible or reasonable use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination.

Product: Offer surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company. Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly flammable. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. Contaminated packaging: Dispose of as unused product.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas. 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.

Precautions for safe handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

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: 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.

Residues of 1-octanal are exempted from the requirement of a tolerance when used in accordance with good agricultural practice as inert (or occasionally active) ingredients in pesticide formulations applied to animals. Use: Odor masking agent. Limit: Not more than 0.2% of the pesticide formulation.

Residues of the following chemical substances are exempted from the requirement of a tolerance when used in accordance with good manufacturing practice as ingredients in an antimicrobial pesticide formulation, provided that the substance is applied on a semi-permanent or permanent food-contact surface (other than being applied on food packaging) with adequate draining before contact with food. (a) The following chemical substances when used as ingredients in an antimicrobial pesticide formulation may be applied to: Food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils. Octanal is included on this list. Limits: When ready for use, the end-use concentration is not to exceed 100 ppm.

The effects of 16 aliphatic aldehydes with 3-10 carbons on the growth and patulin production of Penicillium expansum were examined. When P. expansum spores were inoculated into apple juice broth, some alkenals, including 2-propenal, (E)-2-butenal, (E)-2-pentenal, and (E)-2-hexenal, inhibited fungal growth and patulin production. Their minimal inhibitory concentrations were 5, 50, 80, and 80 ug/mL respectively. Vital staining indicated that these alkenals killed mycelia within 4 hr. Treatment of the spores with these aldehydes also resulted in rapid loss of germination ability, within 0.5-2 d. On the other hand, aliphatic aldehydes with 8-10 carbons significantly enhanced patulin production without affecting fungal growth: 300 ug/mL of octanal and 100 ug/mL of (E)-2-octenal increased the patulin concentrations in the culture broth by as much as 8.6- and 7.8-fold as compared to that of the control culture respectively. The expression of the genes involved in patulin biosynthesis in P. expansum was investigated in mycelia cultured in apple juice broth containing 300 ug/mL of octanal for 3.5, 5, and 7 d. Transcription of the msas gene, encoding 6-methylsalicylic acid synthase, which catalyzed the first step in the patulin biosynthetic pathway was remarkably high in the 3.5-d and 5-d-old cultures as compared with the control. However, octanal did not any increase the transcription of the msas in the 7-d-old culture or that of the other two genes, IDH and the peab1, in culture. Thus the enhanced patulin accumulation with supplementation with these aldehydes is attributable to the increased amount of the msas transcript.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 290(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 3.5(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that octylaldehyde is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of octylaldehyde from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 5.14X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(4). Octylaldehyde has a vapor pressure of 0.6 mm Hg(2) and exists as a liquid under environmental conditions; therefore, octylaldehyde may volatilize from dry soil. Utilizing the Zahn-Wellens test, 77% degradation was reached using an activated sludge inoculum after 28 days(5) which indicates this compound is expected to biodegrade under certain environmental conditions in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 290(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 3.5(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that octylaldehyde may adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(4) based upon a estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.14X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 5 hours and 5 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 60(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC). Utilizing the Zahn-Wellens test, 77% degradation was reached using an activated sludge inoculum after 28 days(7) which indicates this compound is expected to biodegrade under certain environmental conditions in water(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), octylaldehyde, which has a vapor pressure of 0.6 mm Hg at 20 °C(2), will exist solely in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase octylaldehyde 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 12 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 3.2X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Octylaldehyde 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).

Octylaldehyde was detected in full fat and reduced fat frankfurters(4), Italian-type dry-cured ham(5), and as an odorant in cooked mussels (Mytilus edulis)(6). Octylaldehyde was released from charbroiling meat at 146,000 ug/kg of cooked meat(7). Aroma concentrates of uncured beef and chicken contained 0.69 mg/kg and 5.08 mg/kg octylaldehyde, respectively(8). Octylaldehyde was isolated as a volatile component of duck meat at 9.3 ppb, duck fat at 13.64 ppb, Cantonese style roasted duck at 9.66 ppb and Cantonese style roasted duck gravy at 38.08 ppb(9).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Octylaldehyde (Octanal) is a colorless liquid. It is employed in the perfume industry for the preparation of synthetic citrus oils and for the synthesis of alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde. HUMAN STUDIES: In vitro in human A549 cells octanal affects the expression of several chemokines and inflammatory cytokines and increases the levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-8 released. Microarray analysis identified 15 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in octanal-exposed A549 human alveolar cells. ANIMAL STUDIES: It induced a significant decrease in the number of live pups in rats but only at a dose which causes maternal toxicity. Octanal was tested in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 with and without metabolic activation. No cytotoxic or genotoxic effects were observed. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: A membrane damage mechanism involving membrane peroxidation might contribute to the antifungal activity of octanal against P. digitatum spores. Aflatoxin production by the fungus Aspergillus parasiticus was stimulated by octanal.

Octylaldehyde was detected in raw earth almonds (Cyperus esculentus L.)(1). Octylaldehyde was detected in the emissions from northern red oak, dawn redwood, bass wood, eastern hemlock, iron wood, slippery elm, loblolly pine and black gum trees from Fernbank Forest, Atlanta, GA, from sugar maple, cotton grass, and yellow birch trees from Willow Springs, WI and apple, big sugar bush, willow, Gambell oak, service berry, snow berry and salt bush trees from Temple Ridge, Hayden, CO(2). Octylaldehyde was detected in the emissions of Quercus ilex (oak) from the Mediterranean(3).

Octylaldehyde was detected in whole musty sorghum with direct helium-purge method and with supercritical fluid extraction method(5). Octylaldehyde was detected in Tahitian liverwort (Cyathodium foetidissimum)(6).

Octylaldehyde occurs in various plants and plant parts(1).[Table#5196]

EPA has released the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard. The iCSS Dashboard provides an interactive tool to explore rapid, automated (or in vitro high-throughput) chemical screening data generated by the Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast) project and the federal Toxicity Testing in the 21st century (Tox21) collaboration. /The title compound was tested by ToxCast and/or Tox21 assays/[USEPA; ICSS Dashboard Application; Available from, as of February 4, 2019: http://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/]

Octylaldehyde was identified, not quantified, in rush hour traffic air samples taken at the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge toll plaza April 23, 2001, 5-7PM, April 24, 2001, 6-10AM, and 3-7PM(1). Octylaldehyde was emitted in the exhaust gases from a diesel engine at unreported concentrations(2). Octylaldehyde was measured in the emissions of medium duty diesel trucks at a rate of 3,100 ug/km in the gas phase(3). Octylaldehyde was measured in the emissions of gasoline powered motor vehicles at a rate of 190 ug/km and 2,600 ug/km for catalyst equipped engines and non-catalyst equipped engines(4).

The Koc of octylaldehyde is estimated as 290(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.5(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that octylaldehyde is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
