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. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.；INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. 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. 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. Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. 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)

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: Should a spill occur while you are handling this chemical, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with 60-70% ethanol and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with 60-70% ethanol to pick up any remaining material. Seal the absorbent paper, and any of your clothes, which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.；STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: You should keep this material in a tightly closed container under an inert atmosphere, and store it at refrigerated temperatures. Keep it away from oxidizing materials and bases. (NTP, 1992)

SRP: 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 quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: When working with this chemical, wear a NIOSH-approved full face chemical cartridge respirator equipped with the appropriate organic vapor and high efficiency particulate filter cartridges. If that is not available, a half face respirator similarly equipped plus airtight goggles can be substituted. However, please note that half face respirators provide a substantially lower level of protection than do full face respirators. (NTP, 1992)

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 737(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that beta-nitrostyrene is expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of beta-nitrostyrene from moist soil surfaces is expected to occur(SRC) given a an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.48X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2). beta-Nitrostyrene is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.01 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2). Biodegradation data in soil were not available(SRC, 2012).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 737(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that beta-nitrostyrene is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to occur(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.48X10-6 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 13 and 98 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 11(SRC), from its log Kow of 2.11(5) and regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. beta-Nitrostyrene is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2012).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), beta-nitrostyrene, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.01 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase beta-nitrostyrene 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 26 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.39X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Vapor-phase beta-nitrostyrene is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 8 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.6X10-18 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2).

/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ A series of twenty-three beta-E-nitrostyrenes was synthesized in order to evaluate potential antineoplastic, antitubulin, and antimicrobial activities. The beta-E-nitrostyrenes evaluated ranged from monosubstituted phenols to trimethoxy and 3-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy derivatives. Two of the beta-nitrostyrenes were synthesized as water-soluble sodium phosphate derivatives (4t, 4v). All except four (4r, 4s, 4t, 4u) of the series significantly inhibited a minipanel of human cancer cell lines. All but eight led to an IC(50) of <10 microM for inhibition of tubulin polymerization, and all except three (4l, 4t, 4v) displayed antimicrobial activity. /beta-Nitrostyrene derivatives/

/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ In this study, a series of beta-nitrostyrenes were synthesized and subjected to anti-platelet aggregation assay and cytotoxicity assay. The mono- and di-substitutions on the B ring of BMNS tended to increase the anti-platelet activity and decrease the cytotoxic activity. Of these, compounds 19 and 24 exhibited the most potent inhibitory effects on thrombin- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation (IC(50) < 0.7 uM) without significant cytotoxicity on a human cancer cell line (up to 20 uM). Further studies indicated that compounds 19 and 24 inhibited platelet aggregation via prevention of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa activation. The potent and novel effects of BMNS derivatives make them attractive candidates for the development of new anti-platelet agents. /beta-Nitrostyrene derivatives/

beta-Nitrostyrene's production and use as an intermediate in production of bromonitrostyrene (which is employed as a slimicide) and its use as a chain transfer agent to lower the molecular weights of polymers in their free radical initiated synthesis(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 11 was calculated in fish for beta-nitrostyrene(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.11(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for beta-nitrostyrene is estimated as 3.48X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that beta-nitrostyrene 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 13 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 98 days(SRC). beta-Nitrostyrene's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). beta-Nitrostyrene is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.01 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(1).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of beta-nitrostyrene with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 1.39X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 26 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of beta-nitrostyrene with ozone has been estimated as 1.6X10-18 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 8 days at an atmospheric concentration of 7X10+11 ozone molecules per cu cm(1). beta-Nitrostyrene is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2).

Occupational exposure to beta-nitrostyrene may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where beta-nitrostyrene is produced or used. Monitoring data were not available to indicate how the general population might be exposed to beta-nitrostyrene. (SRC)

beta-Nitrostyrene's production and use as an intermediate in the production of bromonitrostyrene (which is employed as a slimicide) and its use as a chain transfer agent to lower the molecular weights of polymers in their free radical initiated synthesis may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 0.01 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates beta-nitrostyrene will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase beta-nitrostyrene will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 26 hours. Vapor-phase beta-nitrostyrene will also be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 8 days.
