3-methyl-5-phenylpentan-1-al

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Symptomatic treatment. Seek medical

attention if patient feels unwell.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical attention

if irritation persists.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, water mist, fog or carbon dioxide.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg oxides of carbon).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Absorb spillages with a suitable inert material (eg. sand or

soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste containers,

or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine. Containers filled

with waste material must be labelled in the same way as the

original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with detergent and water. Do not

discharge to drain.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by landfill or incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are used to reduce exposure to the

substance. Wherever possible, materials are handled in

closed systems, e.g. pumps and pipelines and in bulk stock

tanks/tankers where possible/appropriate. Some use of

smaller containers, e.g. mobile tanks and drums, is,

however, inevitable, e.g. in distillations and drumming-off

product for sale. Dehydrogenation and distillation are

carried out in the open air. Local exhaust ventilation is

available in the drumming-off area.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,

be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate

international or national standards.

Storage: Store in drums or bulk storage tanks in warehouses, covered

areas or in the open air.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 200 litre lacquer-lined steel drum. Mobile tanks (stainless

steel) or bulk storge tanks are used for on-site storage and

use as an intermediate.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Handling of the substance will be by trained operators, and

will be kept to a minimum.

Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration or landfill. In principle, it

may be possible to recover larger spillages of

uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance acutely

harmful by ingestion and a skin irritant. No chemical

treatment is practicable to neutralise these hazardous

health properties.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages mixed with inert

material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of by landfill

at an authorised tip in accordance with local regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.
