Following ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

4.2Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include formation of methemoglobin, sensitization, irritation, and corneal damage. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound causes skin and eye irritation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes. (NTP, 1992)

4.3Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration.

SECTION 12: Ecological information

12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio) - 425.642 mg/L - 96 h.
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 177.709 mg/L - 48 h.

• Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 - Pseudomonas putida - 607.266 mg/L - 17 h.

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: 3-Nitrobenzene reached 42.0% of its theoretical BOD in river water collected from Songhua River, China after 5 days. The river water samples contained about 8.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen, 800-3000/mL bacteria counts, exhibited a pH 6.8-7.0, and temperatures of 15-20 deg C(1). Decomposition of nitrobenzoic acid by soil microflora inoculum took greater than 64 days(2). After 210 minutes, little oxygen consumption by phenol adapted biological cultures occurred with 3-nitrobenzoic acid(3). The amounts of oxygen consumed after the 210 minute test time are 83 ul (endogenous), 96 ul (cells plus 100 mg/L 3-nitrobenzoic acid), and 342 ul (cells plus phenol - after 90 minutes) which results in a ratio of only 1.2 endogenous to 3-nitrobenzoic acid oxygen consumption(3). 3-Nitrobenzoic acid, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0-12% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(4).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated for 3-nitrobenzoic acid(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.83(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), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).

12.4Mobility in soil

The Koc of 3-nitrobenzoic acid is estimated as 240(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.83(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-nitrobenzoic acid is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. The pKa of 3-nitrobenzoic acid is 3.46(4), indicating that this compound will existalmost entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).

12.5Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
