· May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin.

1,2-Dichloropropane is a colorless, flammable liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is moderately soluble in water and readily evaporates into air. It does not occur naturally in the environment. 1,2-Dichloropropane production in the United States has declined over the past 20 years. It was used in the past as a soil fumigant, chemical intermediate and industrial solvent and was found in paint strippers, varnishes, and furniture finish removers. Most of these uses were discontinued. Today, almost all of the 1,2-dichloropropane is used as a chemical intermediate to make perchloroethylene and several other related chlorinated chemicals.

Propylene dichloride is used as a chemical intermediate in several industries. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure to high levels of propylene dichloride by humans results in effects on the lungs, gastrointestinal system, blood, liver, kidneys, central nervous system, and eyes. Limited information is available on the chronic (long-term), reproductive, developmental, and carcinogenic effects of propylene dichloride in humans. Animal studies have reported effects on the respiratory system and blood from chronic inhalation exposure. Animal studies have reported developmental effects from propylene dichloride exposure by gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach). Animal studies have reported an increased incidence of mammary gland tumors in female rats and liver tumors in male and female mice given propylene dichloride by gavage. EPA has provisionally classified propylene dichloride as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen.

Acute inhalation studies of rats: respiratory injury, anesthesia and hepatic necrosis; In occupational exposure, the liver and kidneys are the target organs. A dermal sensitizer; [ACGIH] In high-dose reproductive studies of male rats, 1,2-dichloropropane causes testicular damage. [Frazier, p. 248-9] Propylene dichloride is in the list of Some volatile substances which may be abused by inhalation published on the web site of the U.N. International Drug Control Programme, indicating its potential to cause narcosis in workers. [Reference #1] A skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritant; Inhalation of high concentrations can cause CNS depression; May cause kidney and liver injury; [ICSC] There is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of 1,2-dichloropropane. 1,2-Dichloropropane causes cancer of the biliary tract (confirmed as cholangiocarcinoma). . . . However, a minority of the Working Group concluded that the association between 1,2-dichloropropane and cancer of the biliary tract was credible, but the role of exposure to other agents, principally dichloromethane, could not be separated with complete confidence, and noted that most of the evidence came from studies in a single plant.

Use powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention . Do NOT induce vomiting.

· 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.

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:

(General first aid procedures)

1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. For small quantities, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in a safe place (such as a fume hood). Allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear the hood ductwork. Burn the paper in a suitable location away from combustible materials. Large quantities can be collected & atomized in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. Propylene dichloride should not be allowed to enter a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion.

1,2-Dichloropropane ... could be removed by several mechanisms, the most important being stripping, biodegradation, and a combination of each.

Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number U083, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste.

1,2-Dichloropropane is a waste chemical stream constituent which may be subjected to ultimate disposal by controlled incineration. Incineration, preferably after mixing with another combustible fuel, care must be exercised to assure complete combustion to prevent the formation of phosgene. An acid scrubber is necessary to remove the halo acids produced.

A potential candidate for liquid injection incineration at a temperature range of 650 to 1,600 °C and a residence time of 0.1 to 2 seconds. A potential candidate for rotary kiln incineration at a temperature range of 820 to 1,600 °C and residence times of seconds for liquids and gases, and hours for solids. A potential candidate for fluidized bed incineration at a temperature range of 450 to 980 °C and residence times of seconds for liquids and gases, and longer for solids.

Propylene dichloride may be disposed of by atomizing in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate gas cleaning device.

For more Disposal Methods (Complete) data for 1,2-DICHLOROPROPANE (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

Remove all ignition sources. Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. Do NOT wash away into sewer. 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.

Employees should be provided with & required to use impervious clothing, gloves, face shields (8 inch min), & other appropriate protective clothing necessary to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact ... . Clothing wet with liquid ... should be placed in closed containers for storage until it can be discarded or until provision is made for the removal of propylene dichloride from the clothing. ... Any clothing which becomes wet with liquid .... should be removed immediately & not reworn until propylene dichloride is removed ... . Employees should be provided with & required to use splash-proof safety goggles where liquid ... may contact the eyes.

SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in such a manner so that there is no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance to ascertain the completeness of the cleaning procedures should be implemented before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at 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.

Work clothing that becomes wet should be immediately removed due to its flammability hazard.

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.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 47(2), indicates that 1,2-dichloropropane is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 1,2-dichloropropane from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 2.82X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(3). The potential for volatilization of 1,2-dichloropropane from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 53.3 mm Hg(4). Biodegradation is not expected to be an important environmental fate process in soil given a BOD of 0% theoretical using the MITI test(5). In a closed system using fresh soil at 15 °C, a mean half-life of 52 days was measured for 1,2-dichloropropane(6).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 47(2), indicates that 1,2-dichloropropane is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3), based upon a Henry's Law constant of 2.82X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 3 hrs and 4 days, respectively(SRC). The hydrolytic half-life of 1,2-dichloropropane is expected to be 6 months to several years(5). According to a classification scheme(6), a BCF range of 0.5-6.9(7), suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation is not expected to be an important environmental fate process in water given a 0% theoretical BOD using the MITI test(7).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1,2-dichloropropane, which has a vapor pressure of 53.3 mm Hg at 25 deg(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,2-dichloropropane 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 36 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 4.42X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) determined using a structure estimation method(3). Vapor-phase photolysis under simulated sunlight did not occur after prolonged exposure(4).

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion.

inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact

IDENTIFICATION: 1,2-Dichloropropane is a liquid. It is soluble in water, ethanol, and ethyl ether. When heated, it emits highly toxic fumes of phosgene. 1,2-dichloropropane is used in furniture finish, dry cleaning fluid, and paint remover, gum processing, metal degreasing, oil processing, and as a rubber- and wax-making agent, and a chemical intermediate int he production of tetrachloroethylene and carbon tetrachloride. HUMAN EXPOSURE: Exposure of the general population to 1,2-dichloropropane via air and water is unlikely, except in areas where there is extensive use of 1,2-dichloropropane and "MIX D/D" in agriculture. The risk to the general population is negligible. Several cases of acute poisoning have been reported due to accidental or intentional (suicide) over-exposure to 1,2-dichloropropane. Effects have been mainly on the central nervous system, liver, and kidneys. Hemolytic anemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation have also been reported. In one case, delirium progressed to irreversible shock, cardiac failure, and death. Occupational exposures can be via both skin and inhalation. Several cases of dermatitis and skin sensitization have been reported in workers using solvent mixtures containing 1,2-dichloropropane. ANIMAL STUDIES: The acute oral toxicity of 1,2-dichloropropane in experimental animals is low. Short-term, oral toxicity studies of 1,2-dichloropropane in mice and rats showed growth inhibition, clinical toxic signs associated with central nervous system depression, and/or increased mortality at dose levels of 250 mg/kg body weight per day or higher. Studies did not indicate any teratogenic activity of 1,2-dichloropropane at oral dose levels up to 125 mg/kg body weight in the rat and 150 mg/kg body weight in the rabbit. In a carcinogenicity study on mice administered 125 or 250 mg 1,2-dichloropropane/kg body weight by gavage, a dose-related increase in the incidence of liver adenomas was observed. 1,2-Dichloropropane administered orally to rats is rapidly eliminated. Urine is the major route of elimination. Unchanged 1,2-dichloropropane is not found in urine. Three major urinary metabolites have been identified. 1,2-Dichloropropane can also be oxidized to lactate with resultant carbon dioxide or acetyl co-enzyme A production.

It has been shown that rat liver microsomes in vitro are capable of metabolizing 1,2-dichloropropane.

The metabolism of 1,2-dichloropropane and its proposed intermediate metabolite 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropane were studied. Sprague-Dawley rats received labeled dichloropropane in ip doses of 100 mg/kg, or by continuous oral dosing at 20 mg/kg per day for four days, while labeled 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropane was administered via ip injections at doses of 100 mg/kg. Urine was collected without fecal contamination for analysis via thin layer chromatography. During in vitro studies, a reaction was carried out in an oxidizing system using 1,2-dichloropropane as the substrate. ... The major urinary metabolite of 1,2-dichloropropane was N-acetyl-S-(hydroxypropyl)cysteine, with 2 minor metabolites, beta-chlorolactate and N-acetyl-S-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)cysteine. Aside from N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxypropyl)cysteine, a known urinary metabolite of 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropane, beta-chloroacetaldehyde and beta-chlorolactate were also identified as urinary 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropane metabolites ... /It was/ concluded that 1,2-dichloropropane oxidation to 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropane, ultimately resulting in the production of N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxypropyl)cysteine, is suggested as the pathway of 1,2-dichloropropane metabolism in rats. The major detoxicating pathway of 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropane is epoxidation to 1,2-epoxypropane, which can either conjugate with glutathione or be hydrolyzed to propane-1,2-diol.

1,1-Dichloropropane & 1,2-dichloropropane are enzymatically dechlorinated by an enzyme located in hepatic microsomes. This system requires reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate & oxygen, & is inducible by phenobarbital & benzpyrene, but not by methylcholanthrene. The optimum pH of the system is 8.2.

Rats receiving single oral doses of 1,2-dichloro(1-(14)C)propane excreted about 50% in the urine & 5% in feces in 24 hr. There was little further excretion over the next 72 hr. A total of 19% of the dose was excreted as (14)CO2 & 23% as other volatile substances. At 96 hr, 5% remained in the carcass.

Male & female Fischer 344 rats were either exposed to atmospheres of 5, 50 or 100 ppm (23, 230 or 460 mg/cu m) of singly labeled 1,2-dichloro((14)C))propane for a 6 hr period or dosed orally once with 1 or 100 mg/kg bw or on 7 consecutive days with 1 mg/kg bw. During inhalation exposure, maximum blood concns were reached after 2 hr, the values being approx 0.06, 0.9 & 4.0 ug/g blood, respectively. Once exposure stopped, 1,2-dichloropropane was rapidly eliminated from blood. Analysis of expired air provided evidence for saturation of metab, the proportion of expired 1,2-dichloro((14)C)propane increasing with dose. For both gavage & inhalation admin, the principal routes of elimination were urine (37-65%) & expired air (18-40%), most of the radioactivity being eliminated within 24 hr, irrespective of the route or sex. Tissues, feces & the cage wash accounted for <11%, about 10% & about 4% of the dose, respectively.

Groups of 5 male Wistar rats (200 g) were admin ip, 0, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, or 500 mg 1,2-dichloropropane (97%)/kg bw in 0.5 ml corn oil for 5 days (once daily) or for 4 wk (5 days/wk). Urinary mercapturic acid excretion was monitored. A significant incr in mercapturic acid excretion was observed at all dose levels, with no further incr during the treatment: at lower doses, a return to baseline values occurred within 48 hr of the end of the treatment. Mercapturic acid excretion at the end of wk 2, 3, & 4 was significantly lower than that observed at the end of the first wk.

Propylene dichloride is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of chlorinated organic chemicals, as an industrial solvent, in ion exchange manufacture, in toluene diisocyanate production, in photographic film manufacture, for paper coating, and for petroleum catalyst regeneration.
