Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present; seek immediate medical attention if irritation develops
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; flush exposed skin with plenty of water and soap; seek medical advice for persistent irritation
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air; rest in a position comfortable for breathing; obtain medical help if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person; do not induce vomiting; contact a healthcare professional or poison control center
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide for small fires; use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers
Specific Hazards: May decompose under fire conditions to produce toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from fire area if this can be done safely; prevent fire-fighting runoff from entering drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment including gloves, eye protection, and appropriate respirator if airborne dust is generated
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage; contain spill to avoid release into drains, surface waters, or soil
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up spilled material with non-sparking tools; avoid creating dust; place in a suitable labeled, closed container for waste disposal; ventilate the affected area
Handling: Wear suitable protective clothing; work within a properly functioning chemical fume hood; avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances; keep away from oxidizing agents and acids
Specific End Use(s): Restricted to professional users and trained personnel in laboratory or industrial settings
Control Parameters: No established exposure limits; minimize exposure through functional engineering controls
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or chemical fume hood to reduce exposure
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, lab coat, and particulate respirator where dust formation is possible
Environmental Exposure Controls: Prevent material from entering waterways and soil environments; use containment and waste management procedures
Appearance: Yellowish crystalline powder
Odor: Faint, characteristic odor
Melting Point: Approximately 132-136°C
Boiling Point: Data not available; may decompose prior to boiling
Solubility: Sparingly soluble in water; soluble in most organic solvents
Density: Approximately 1.1 – 1.2 g/cm3
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at ambient temperatures
pH: Not applicable in aqueous solution due to low solubility
Flash Point: Not readily flammable under normal conditions
Partition Coefficient: logP expected greater than 4, indicating potential for persistence in lipophilic matrices
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions
Reactivity: May react vigorously with strong acids or oxidizers
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Under improper conditions, can undergo exothermic reactions with incompatible materials
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and phenolic by-products under combustion or decomposition
Acute Toxicity: Data on acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity not widely reported; related quinones have demonstrated moderate toxicity in animal studies
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Can cause moderate skin irritation based on structure activity relationships
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May result in temporary irritation and redness
Respiratory Effects: Inhalation exposure may induce symptoms such as headache, nausea, or dizziness due to central nervous system effects
Long-term Effects: Chronic exposure to quinones may impinge on liver or kidney function; not listed as a confirmed carcinogen
Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity: Evidence lacking for mutagenic or carcinogenic risk in humans, though structural class merits caution
Ecotoxicity: Not extensively characterized; expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms due to persistence and potential for bioaccumulation
Persistence and Degradability: Slow degradation anticipated in natural environments due to the stable nonyl side chain and aromatic structure
Bioaccumulative Potential: High due to hydrophobicity (high logP)
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility anticipated as a result of high partitioning to organic matter
Other Adverse Effects: Risk of long-term hazards in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems if release is not controlled
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect and dispose of material in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations for hazardous chemical waste
Recommended Disposal: Incineration in approved facilities; do not discharge to sewer systems or natural environments
Contaminated Packaging: Clean thoroughly before reuse or disposal according to hazardous waste guidelines; incinerate or landfill at licensed facility
UN Number: None assigned for this compound; transport as per hazardous chemical protocols
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified under major international regulations (ADR, IMDG, IATA)
Packing Group: Not regulated
Environmental Hazards: Avoid release into environment during transit
Special Transport Precautions: Clearly label package, keep tightly sealed and protected from moisture and physical damage during transport
Inventory Status: May not appear on major chemical inventories (TSCA, REACH, DSL); use restricted mainly for research
Label Requirements: Chemical name, hazard statements, precautionary pictograms, and handling instructions
