Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains.

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

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.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that neopentyl glycol is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of neopentyl glycol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.1X1-07 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Neopentyl glycol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.27X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(3). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 1.2% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks(4) indicating that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that neopentyl glycol 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 3.1X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 122 and 890 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), a BCF range of 0.3-0.5(5) suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 1.2% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks(5) indicating that biodegradation is not 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), neopentyl glycol, which has a estimated vapor pressure of 1.27X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase neopentyl glycol 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 44 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 8.7X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Neopentyl glycol 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).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Neopentyl glycol (NPG) is a solid. It is used in chemical synthesis, and in polyester manufacture. An insect repellent. HUMAN STUDIES: There are no data available. ANIMAL STUDIES: NPG was not irriating to skin in rabbits, and non sensitizing to the skin in the Murine Local Lymph Node Assay. NPG was practically non-toxic in acute studies in rats and guinea pigs. No treatment-related, adverse findings were observed at clinical examinations, clinical pathology and pathology up to a dose level of 1000 mg/kg bw/d in 90 day oral gavage studies in rats. In other rat study reproductive performance of the parent generation and development of the F1 generation were not affected after oral application of dose levels up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day. In male rats single i.p. injection of 2000 mg/kg bw resulted in a mid level of ataxia but no loss of righting reflex. NPG had no mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100, TA 1535, TA 98, TA 1537, or in Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA tested with and without metabolic activation at dose levels up to 5000 ug/plate. NPG was not mutagenic in the HPRT locus assay under in vitro conditions in CHO cells in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation.

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 August 9, 2018: http://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/]

Neopentyl glycol was detected at a concentraiton of 14.7 ug/L in an industrial landfill leachate sampled Decemeber 1996. It was not detected in in an industrial effluent from a petrochemical plant taken in July 1996, January 1997, or March 1997 (landfill leachate); detection limit = 1.0 ug/L(1).

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

/BIOMONITORING/ Patients attending a general hospital for various reasons were screened for raised serum gamma glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT) and positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The results served as objective biochemical tests of heavy drinking. Among 419 individuals, 50 (11.9%) met these requirements and blood samples were used to determine the presence of low molecular mass aliphatic diols. 1,2-Propanediol, 2,3-butanediol and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol were determined by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In patients with blood ethanol concentration less than 2 mmol/L, 1,2-propanediol and 2,2-dimethyl-1, 3-propanediol mainly occurred together at median concentrations of about 200 umol/L. When blood ethanol was 2-42 mmol/L, 2,3-butanediol was also present covering a wide concentration range: three patients had concentrations between 6 and 10 mmol/L. There was no apparent correlation between the concentration of 2,3-butanediol and the concentration of blood ethanol. The diols were below the limits of detection in blood from nonintoxicated control individuals and hospital in-patients.

AEROBIC: Neopently glycol has been identified as considered nonbiodegradable in a relatively short time frame(1). Neopentyl glycol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 1.2% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(2).

ANAEROBIC: Neopentyl glycol was 1% biodegraded following a lag of >60 days when incubated with an anaerobic digesting sludge from the Reading Sewage Works, Berkshire, UK(1).

A BCF range of 0.3-0.5 was calculated in fish for neopentyl glycol at 10 ppm using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for neopentyl glycol is estimated as 3.1X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) developed using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that neopentyl glycol is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 122 days(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 890 days(SRC). Neopentyl glycol's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). Neopentyl glycol is is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.27X10-2 mm Hg(3).
