| Source | Schauer et al. (1999) reported heptane in a diesel-powered medium-duty truck exhaust atan emission rate of 470 g/km. Identified as one of 140 volatile constituents in used soybean oils collected from a processingplant that fried various beef, chicken, and veal products (Takeoka et al., 1996). Schauer et al. (2001) measured organic compound emission rates for volatile organiccompounds, gas-phase semi-volatile organic compounds, and particle-phase organic compoundsfrom the residential (fireplace) combustion of pine, oak, and eucalyptus. The gas-phase emissionrate of heptane was 28.9 mg/kg of pine burned. Emission rates of heptane were not measuredduring the combustion of oak and eucalyptus. California Phase II reformulated gasoline contained heptane at a concentration of 9,700 mg/kg. Gas-phase tailpipe emission rates from gasoline-powered automobiles with and without catalyticconverters were 1.82 and 268 mg/km, respectively (Schauer et al., 2002). |
| Environmental fate | Biological. Heptane may biodegrade in two ways. The first is the formation of heptylhydroperoxide, which decomposes to 1-heptanol followed by oxidation to heptanoic acid. Theother pathway involves dehydrogenation to 1-heptene, which may react with water forming 1-heptanol (Dugan, 1972). Microorganisms can oxidize alkanes under aerobic conditions (Singerand Finnerty, 1984). The most common degradative pathway involves the oxidation of theterminal methyl group forming the corresponding alcohol (1-heptanol). The alcohol may undergoa series of dehydrogenation steps forming heptanal followed by oxidation forming heptanoic acid.The acid may then be metabolized by β-oxidation to form the mineralization products, carbondioxide and water (Singer and Finnerty, 1984). Hou (1982) reported hexanoic acid as adegradation product by the microorganism Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Photolytic. The following rate constants were reported for the reaction of hexane and OHradicals in the atmosphere: 7.15 x 10-12 cm3/molecule?sec (Atkinson, 1990). Photooxidationreaction rate constants of 7.19 x 10-12 and 1.36 x 10-16 cm3/molecule?sec were reported for thereaction of heptane with OH and NO3, respectively (Sablji? and Güsten, 1990). Based on aphotooxidation rate constant 7.15 x 10-12 cm3/molecule?sec for heptane and OH radicals, theestimated atmospheric lifetime is 19 h in summer sunlight (Altshuller, 1991). Chemical/Physical. Complete combustion in air yields carbon dioxide and water vapor. Heptanewill not hydrolyze because it has no hydrolyzable functional group. |
| storage | Color Code- _Red: Flammability Hazard: Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with heptane you should be trained on itsproper handling and storage. Before entering confined spacewhere heptane may be present, check to make sure that anexplosive concentration does not exist. Store in tightlyclosed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area. Metalcontainers involving the transfer of this chemical should be grounded and bonded. Where possible, automatically pumpliquid from drums or other storage containers to processcontainers.Drums must be equipped with self-closingvalves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Useonly nonsparking tools and equipment, especially whenopening and closing containers of this chemical. Sources ofignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibitedwhere this chemical is used, handled, or stored in a mannerthat could create a potential fire or explosion hazard.Wherever this chemical is used, handled, manufactured, orstored, use explosion-proof electrical equipment and fittings. |

| Toxicity evaluation | The acute mechanism of toxicity is suspected be similar to othersolvents that rapidly induce anesthesia-like effects, i.e.,a ‘nonspecific narcosis’ because of disruption (solvation) of theintegrity of the cellular membranes of the central nervoussystem (CNS). This disruptive narcosis may also contribute tothe pathology seen with chronic toxicity, although the gammadiketone metabolite of n-heptane would be responsible for anydelayed peripheral neurotoxicity seen in humans followingchronic exposure, similar to the mechanism seen for hexane.Although the mechanism of toxicity of n-heptane, with respectto polyneuropathy, is believed to be similar to hexane, humanexposures in the workplace are often a mixture of other solventsand the animal data are not compelling. Heptane is generally considered to be less toxic than hexanebut slightly more toxic than octane. This is probably because itis less volatile than the former but more volatile than the latter(consistent with the nonspecific narcotic mechanism of toxicityof volatile organic compounds). If it is aspirated into the lungs,however, n-heptane will cause adverse effects similar to thoseseen with petroleum distillates. |
| Incompatibilities | May form explosive mixture with air.Strong oxidizers may cause fire and explosions. Attackssome plastics, rubber and coatings. May accumulate staticelectric charges that can ignite its vapors. |

| Waste Disposal | Dissolve or mix the materialwith a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinera tor equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal,state, and local environmental regulations must be observed. |
