(General first aid procedures)

· Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

· Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure 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, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable metal containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT wash away into sewer.

The basic ventilation methods are local exhaust ventilation and dilution or general ventilation.

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.

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.

The worker should immediately wash the skin when it becomes contaminated.

Work clothing that becomes wet or significantly contaminated should be removed and replaced.

Chloroform-induced liver injury was evaluated in male rats pretreated (15 mmol/kg, orally) with 2-heptanone. After 18 hr, a challenging dose of chloroform (0.50 or 0.75 ml/kg ip) was given. Liver damage was evaluated 24 hr after chloroform admin by determining elevations in plasma glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and ornithine carbamyl transferase activity. 2-Heptanone potentiated chloroform-induced liver damage.

When methyl n-amyl ketone (456 mg/kg) was administered with equimolar doses of MnBK (methyl n-butyl ketone) by subcutaneous injection 5 days/week for 20 week, the neurotoxicity of MnBK, as measured by motor fiber conduction velocity and motor distal latency, was enhanced (p<0.01) ...

Chloroform (CHCl3)-induced hepato- and nephrotoxicity was evaluated in male, Fischer 344 rats pretreated with various dosages (1.0 to 15.0 mmol/kg, /orally/) of acetone (Ac), 2-butanone (Bu), 2-pentanone (Pn), 2-hexanone (Hx), or 2-heptanone (Hp). The CHCl3 challenge dosage (0.5 ml/kg, ip) produced slight centrilobular hydropic degeneration and patchy degeneration and necrosis in the proximal tubules of corn oil-pretreated rats. Each of the ketones studied produced a dose-related potentiation of CHCl3 liver and kidney injury. CHCl3 produced extensive tubular and centrilobular necrosis when administered to ketone-pretreated rats. The relationship between ketone dosage and the magnitude of the potentiated response was nonlinear. Maximum potentiation of CHCl3 toxicity occurred in the dosage range of 5.0 to 10.0 mmol ketone/kg. Ketone dosages greater than 10.0 mmol/kg were associated with a reduction in the degree of CHCl3 injury. At the lowest ketone dosage (1.0 mmol/kg), potentiating capacity appeared to be related to ketone carbon skeleton length. No differences in potentiating capacity were discernable between the ketones at dosages of 5.0 to 10.0 mmol/kg.

LC50 Pimephales promelas (Fathead minnow) 131 mg/L/96 hr (confidence limit 126-137 mg/L), flow-through bioassay with measured concentrations, 24.2 °C, dissolved oxygen 7.2 mg/L, hardness 46.4 mg/L calcium carbonate, alkalinity 42.1 mg/L calcium carbonate, and pH 7.72.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 280(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.98(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-heptanone is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 2-heptanone from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 1.69X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(4). 2-Heptanone is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 3.85 mm Hg(5). Screening studies indicate that 2-heptanone is likely to biodegrade in aquatic systems under aerobic conditions(6-9).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 280(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.98(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-heptanone 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 1.69X10-4 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 4.8 hours and 6 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 7(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(6), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Screening studies indicate that 2-heptanone is likely to biodegrade in aquatic systems under aerobic conditions(7-10).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-heptanone, which has a vapor pressure of 3.85 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-heptanone 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 1.4 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.17X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Although 2-heptanone has the potential of being removed from the atmosphere by direct photochemical degradation(4), the rate of this process is not expected to be able to compete with atmospheric removal by the reaction with hydroxyl radicals(SRC).

2-Heptanone was detected as a volatile flavor component of roasted filberts(1), baked potatoes(2), blue cheese(3), Beaufort (Gruyere) cheese(4), fried bacon(5), clove essential oil(6), chickpeas(7), fried chicken(8), earth almonds (Cyperus esculentus L.)(14), frankfurters(15), raw beef(17), and in food products processed from the Cassava root(9). 2-Heptanone has been identified in swiss cheese (0.45 ppm) evaporated milk, butter, milk, cream (0.004-0.007 ppm), milk fat (16 ppm), white bread, soybeans (1 ppm) peaches and orange juice(10). 2-Heptanone has been measured in canned cream corn (6 ppb), canned corn (21 ppb), frozen corn (3 ppb) and fresh corn (18 ppb)(11). 2-Heptanone was found in popcorn using wet extraction method at 60 ug/kg and dry extraction method at 17 ug/kg(12). Commercial rice cakes were found to contain 15 ppb of 2-heptanone(13). Fermented soybean (Glycine max) curds were found to contain 601.7 to 972.6 ug/kg of 2-heptanone(16). 2-Heptanone was found in uncured beef (0.21 mg/kg), chicken (0.54 mg/kg) and pork (0.20 mg/kg)(18). 2-Heptanone was detected in whole and ground musty sorghum with direct helium-purge method and with supercritical fluid extraction method(19). 2-Heptanone was isolated as a volatile component of duck meat (5.68 ppb), duck fat (11.62 ppb), Cantonese style roasted duck (38.44 ppb) and Cantonese style roasted duck gravy (63.45 ppb)(20). 2-Heptanone was measured at 146 ng/g, 455 ng/g, 115 ng/g and 42 ng/g in anchovy paste, big eyed herring paste, hair tail viscera paste and shrimp paste, respectively(21).
