First aidIf this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seekmedical attention immediately. If this chemical contactsthe skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove fromexposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing hasstopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transferpromptly to a medical facility. When this chemical hasbeen swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.
Environmental FateSoil. In soils, chloramben was degraded by microorganisms but no products wereidentified (Humburg et al., 1991). The main degradative pathway of chloramben in soil isdecarboxylation and subsequent mineralization to carbon dioxide. The calculated halflives in Ella loamy sand, Kewaunee clay and Poygan silty clay were 120–201, 182–286and 176–314 days, respectively (Wildung et al., 1968). Persistence in soil is 6–8 weeks(Hartley and Kidd, 1987).
Groundwater. According to the U.S. EPA (1986) and Ashton and Monaco (1991),chloramben has a high potential to leach to groundwater, especially in sandy soils duringheavy rains.Plant. Degrades in plants to N-glucoside, glucose ester, conjugates and insolubleresidues (Ashton and Monaco, 1991).
Photolytic. Plimmer and Hummer (1969) studied the irradiation of chloramben in water(2–4 mg/L) under a 450-W mercury vapor lamp (λ >2,800 ?) for periods of 2 to 20 hours.Chloride ion was released and a complex mixture of colored products was observed. Itwas postulated that amino free radicals reacted with each other via polymerization andoxidation processes. The experiment was repeated except the solution contained sodiumbisulfite as an inhibitor under a nitrogen atmosphere. Oxidation did not occur and loss ofthe 2-chloro substituent gave 3-amino-5-chlorobenzoic acid (Plimmer and Hummer, 1969).
Chloramben (sodium salt) in aqueous solutions (100 mg/L) was rapidly photodegradedin outdoor sunlight and under a 360-W mercury arc lamp (Crosby and Leitis, 1969).
Insunlight, the solution became yellow-brown. Subsequent analysis by gas-liquid chromatography did not resolve any compounds other than chloramben. However, analysis byTLC indicated at least 12 unidentified products. These products were reportedly formedvia replacement of chlorine by a hydroxy group, reductive dechlorination and abstractionof hydrogen from the amine group (oxidation). No photodegradation products could beidentified in the solutions irradiated with the mercury arc lamp (Crosby and Leitis, 1969).
Chemical/Physical. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and chlorine when heatedto decomposition (Sax and Lewis, 1987).Forms water-soluble salts with alkalies.
MetabolismChloramben is generally stable to hydrolyticdegradation; however, it will decompose in sodiumhypochlorite solutions. It is also very sensitive to lightand under oxidative conditions aqueous solutions willrapidly undergo photolysis. The predominant reaction inoxidative photolysis is unclear but appears to involve theformation of amino radicals. Photolysis also occurs underreductive conditions by dechlorination at the 2 position,i.e., when appropriate reducing agents are present, e.g.,sodium bisulfite.
storageColor Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with chloramben you should be trained on its proper handling and storage. Store in a cool, dry place, or a refrigerator, and avoidcontact with strong acids, acid fumes, and light. A regulated, marked area should be established where this chemical is handled, used, or stored in compliance with OSHAStandard 1910.1045.
ShippingUN2588 Pesticides, solid, toxic, Hazard Class:6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical NameRequired.
Toxicity evaluationAlthough limited studies areavailable, those that have been conducted, for example,on cows and dogs, indicate that the majority of ingestedchloramben is quickly excreted through the urine andfeces and does not accumulate in tissues. An interestinginteraction between caffeine and chloramben suggests thatthey can form an insoluble complex in the intestinal tractand thus decrease the amount of chloramben absorbedinto the blood stream. The acute oral LD50 in rat is>5000 mg/kg.
IncompatibilitiesRapidly decomposed by light. Strongacids and acid fumes
Waste DisposalChloramben is stable to heat,oxidation, and hydrolysis in acidic or basic media. The stability is comparable to that of benzoic acid. Wet oxidationor incineration are recommended disposal methods.
