화재 위험Combustible. POISONOUS GASES MAY BE PRODUCED WHEN HEATED. May form toxic fumes at high temperatures. (USCG, 1999)Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
화재 가능성Combustible when exposed to heat or flame.
건강 유해성DUST: Irritating to eyes, nose and throat. If inhaled will cause coughing or difficult breathing. SOLID: Will burn skin and eyes. Harmful if swallowed. (USCG, 1999)
유해성 요약Exposure to catechol may occur during its manufacture and use. Skin contact with catechol causes eczematous dermatitis in humans. In humans, absorption through the skin results in an illness resembling that induced by phenol, except convulsions are more pronounced. Large doses of catechol can cause depression of the central nervous system (CNS) and a prolonged rise of blood pressure in animals. Due to the lack of information regarding the duration of exposure in the above studies, it is not clear whether these health effects were observed following acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) exposure. Tumors in the glandular stomach were observed in orally exposed rats. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified catechol as a Group 2B, possible human carcinogen. EPA has not classified catechol with respect to potential carcinogenicity.Repeated doses of catechol may induce methemoglobinemia in experimental animals. [HSDB] Potential skin sensitizerInhalation of high concentrations can cause CNS depression[ICSC] The solid form will burn skin. [CHRIS]

비화재 누출 대응Avoid contact with solid and dust. Keep people away. Wear rubber overclothing (including gloves). Stop discharge if possible. Isolate and remove discharged material. Notify local health and pollution control agencies. (USCG, 1999)
처리 방법SRP: 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 qualitypotential migration in soil or watereffects on animal and plant lifeand conformance with environmental and public health regulations.Incineration: It should be combined with paper or other flammable material. An alternate procedure is to dissolve the solid in a flammable solvent and spray the solutions into the fire chamber.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: 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.
누출 처리Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. 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: 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.SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in a manner such 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 immediately wash the skin when it becomes contaminated.For more Preventive Measures (Complete) data for CATECHOL (11 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
상호 작용Catechol (25, 50, 75 or 100 mg/kg bw, single ip administration) decreased the incorporation of (59)Fe to erythrocytes in a dose-dependent fashion in female Swiss mice, when administered with phenol (50 mg/kg bw, single ip administration).Intake of antioxidants from the diet has been recognized to have beneficial health effects, but the potential benefit of taking antioxidants such as beta-carotene as supplements is controversial. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential protective effects of a physiologically relevant concentration (2 uM) of beta-carotene on the DNA damaging effects of catechol in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells. Two different exposure protocols were used: simultaneous exposure to beta-carotene and catechol for 3 hrand exposure to catechol for 3 hr after 18 hr pre-treatment with the vitamin. DNA damage was evaluated using the comet assay (employing one procedure for general damage, and another procedure, which also included oxidative DNA damage). Independent of exposure protocol and procedure for comet assay, beta-carotene did not increase the basal level of DNA damage. However, at the highest concentration of catechol (1 mM), beta-carotene was found to clearly increase the level of catechol-induced DNA damage, especially in the pre-treated cells. Interestingly, an opposite effect was observed at lower concentrations of catechol, but the beta-carotene related reduction of catechol-induced genotoxicity was significant (P < 0.05) only for the procedure including oxidative damage induced by 0.5 mM catechol. Taken together our results indicate that beta-carotene can both reduce and enhance the DNA damaging effects of a genotoxic agent such as catechol. This indicates that it is the level of catechol-induced DNA damage that seems to determine whether beta-carotene should be regarded as a beneficial or detrimental agent when it comes to its use as a dietary supplement.Continuous oral treatment of rats with 0.8% catechol for 51 weeks after a single intragastric dose of 150 mg/kg of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine strongly enhanced both forestomach and glandular stomach carcinogenesis. In addition, and more importantly, catechol alone induced adenocarcinoma and adenomatous hyperplasia in the pyloric region of the glandular stomach.Catechol and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine are gastric carcinogens in rats. Catechol, sodium chloride and bile salts have enhancing effects on gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in rats. The effects of these compounds on proliferation of pyloric mucosa cells in male F344 rats were examined immunohistochemically using bromodeoxyuridine and anti-bromodeoxyuridine monoclonal antibody. Rats were given N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (83 ug/ml in their drinking water), catechol (0.8% in their diet), sodium taurocholate (0.3% in their diet), sodium taurodeoxycholate (0.3% in their diet), or sodium chloride (10% in their diet or by intragastric administration of 1 ml of saturated solution once a week) for 4 weeks. All these treatments markedly enhanced cell proliferation of the pyloric epithelium.For more Interactions (Complete) data for CATECHOL (15 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

환경 거동TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 118(2), indicates that catechol is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of catechol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.2X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), based upon its vapor pressure, 3.66X10-3 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 4.61X10+5 mg/L(4). Catechol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(3). The percent biodegradation after 6 months in various loam soils ranged from 24 to 50%(5), indicating that biodegradation is a moderate environmental fate process in soil(SRC).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 118(2), indicates that catechol is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.20X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 3.66X10-3 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 4.61X10+5 mg/L(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow of 0.88(7) and a regression-derived equation(8), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 83% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks(9) indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), catechol, which has a vapor pressure of 3.66X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase catechol 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 2.8 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.04X10-10 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Catechol in its nonionized form will not be subject to direct photolysis since this form does not absorb light above 300 nm in methanol solution(4). Reaction of catechol with nitrate radicals during nighttime may be an important removal process based on a rate constant of 3.8X10-12 cu cm/molecule sec for the reaction of phenol with nitrate radicals(2) which corresponds to a half-life of 15 minutes at an atmospheric concentration of 2X10+8 nitrate radicals per cu cm(SRC). The ionized form of catechol may photolyze based on an absorption maximum at 313 nm in basic aqueous solution(6) and at 289 nm in basic methanol solution(4). Therefore, catechol may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
유해 작용Neurotoxin - Other CNS neurotoxin
노출 경로The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact
독성 요약The CIR Expert Panel concludes that Pyrocatechol is unsafe for use in leave-on products, and that the available data are insufficient to support the safety of Pyrocatechol as used in hair dyes.The ingredient is unsafe for use in cosmeticsIDENTIFICATION AND USE: Catechol is a tablet or colorless crystal, prism or aqueous solution, which discolors to brown on exposure to air and light. It has a faint characteristic odor. It is used as antioxidant in the rubber, chemical, photographic, dye, fat, and oil industries. It was formerly used as an antiseptic. Catechol was found unsafe for use in cosmetics. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Catechol contact with the skin has been known to cause an eczematous dermatitis. It is highly irritating upon direct contactsevere eye and deep skin burns result. Well absorbed by skin. Systemic toxicity similar to that of phenol however, catechol may be more likely to cause convulsions and hypertension. At high doses, renal and liver injury may occur. Absorption through the skin, in a few instances, has resulted in symptoms of illness resembling closely those induced by phenol, except for certain central effects (convulsions) that were more marked. Death apparently is initiated by respiratory failure. Catechol was found to be a more harmful toxin than phenol in human blood cells in vitro, since it provokes statistically significant changes in the function of erythrocytes even at low doses. Both compounds induced methemoglobin formation, glutathione depletion and conversion of oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin, which is associated with superoxide anion production and lead to formation of ferryl hemoglobin, hydrogen peroxide or hydroxyl radicals. It is known that oxidation of catechol leads to formation of semiquinone radicals. Catechol induced DNA damage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes, and in proliferating human T-lymphocytes. Catechol is confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans. ANIMAL STUDIES: Instillation of 100 mg of catechol into the eyes of rabbits caused a moderate conjunctivitis with exudate and corneal opacity that progressed to a severe conjunctivitis, iritis, and widely diffuse corneal opacity at 72 hours. Fourteen days after instillation, the corneas were vascularized, had infiltration of granulation tissue, and were protruding (keratoconus). Hyperemia of the stomach and intestines was reported after lethal oral doses in rats. Repeated absorption of sublethal doses by animals has induced methemoglobinemia, leucopenia and anemia. Death is apparently initiated by respiratory failure. Catechol clearly induced increases in DNA synthesis in rat forestomach epithelium independent of sex. In the glandular stomach, catechol treatment for 4 weeks increased crypt height due to elevation of DNA synthesis and caused submucosal growth of pyloric mucosal cells. Administration of catechol (1.5% in the diet) for 20 weeks induced mild to moderate hyperplasia in the forestomach. Rats fed catechol in the diet at concentrations of 0 or 1.5% for four weeks followed by 0.8% for 47 weeks either with no other exposure or one week after exposure to N-methyl- N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine increased the incidence of forestomach papillomas, glandular stomach adenocarcinomas, squamous-cell carcinomas of the forestomach, and adenocarcinomas in the pyloric region of the glandular stomach in rats. Regenerative cell proliferation due to toxicity plays an important role in catechol-induced glandular stomach carcinogenesis. Catechol also exhibited developmental toxicity in rats. Litter size and weights were reduced at the maternally toxic doses. Malformations involving limbs, tail and urogenital systems were reported at all doses. Catechol was negative in the Ames assay, but induced sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster ovary V79 cells. In in vivo mouse micronucleus assays, in which the conjugation enzymes responsible for detoxication were present, both positive and negative results were reported. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Catechol-treated sea bass showed disorders in the metabolic toxicity indicators such as hypoglycemia, low blood urea nitrogen level and decrease of alkaline phosphatase activity.
생태독성 발췌/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were injected intraperitoneally once (single dose) or three times (fractionated dose) with phenol or OH-phenols (hydroquinone, resorcinol, and pyrocatechol). On the basis of the lethal doses, OH-phenols were more toxic than phenol, and pyrocatechol was the most powerful compound. Hematological, metabolic and antioxidant blood parameters were measured 3 days after the end of the treatment. Metabolic variations as specific effects on erythrocytes were revealed and differences between single and fractionated doses were observed. OH-phenols-treated fish showed disorders in the metabolic toxicity indicators as hypoglycemia, low blood urea nitrogen level (BUN) and decrease of alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP)./PLANTS/ ... The acute toxicity of 15 compounds with low molecular weight (<350 Da), catechol, four benzoic acids, three phenylacetic acids, three phenylethanols, and four cinnamic acids, already isolated from the reverse osmosis in the fractionation of OMW /olive mill wastes/, was assessed on ... the seeds of two dicotyledonous species Cucumis sativus and Lepidium sativum, and on one monocotyledon Sorghum bicolor. Results of phytotoxicity showed that the most toxic compounds were catechol (EC50s ranging from 0.40 mmol/L for S. bicolor to 1.09 for C. sativus) and hydroxytyrosol, (EC50s ranging from 0.47 mmol/L for S. bicolor to 1.55 for C. sativus) ... These results suggested that the risk of OMW disposal may be more elevated for the water compartment than for the soil.
