Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

INHALATION, INGESTION OR SKIN ABSORPTION: Headache, weakness, nausea or dizziness, cyanosis, drowsiness, shortness of breath and collapse. EYES AND SKIN: Can burn eyes and skin. (USCG, 1999)

In case of ingestion, induction of emesis is not recommended because of the potential for central nervous system depression. Gastric lavage and administration of activated charcoal may be considered soon after ingestion, provided airways are protected. Dinitrotoluene

Fire extinguishing agents: Water, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen. Behavior in Fire: May explode when exposed to heat or flame. (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.

NIOSH considers dinitrotoluene to be a potential occupational carcinogen. [50 mg/cu m] Dinitrotoluene

May explode on heating. Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including nitrogen oxides even in the absence of air. Reacts with reducing agents, strong bases and oxidants. This generates explosion hazard.

The substance is mildly irritating to the skin. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin.

A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

AEROBIC: 3,4-Dinitrotoluene was not mineralized in water from a pond and from Waconda Bay; however, 3,4-dinitrotoluene was co-metabolized when 500 ppm of yeast extract was added to the water from these two sources(1). The rate of degradation with added yeast extract in Searsville Pond water was 6.1X10+10 mL/cell-hour, and in Waconda Bay water 0.89X10+10 mL/cell-hour(1). 3,4-Dinitrotoluene, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(2).

The BCF of 3,4-dinitrotoluene in carp (Cyprinus carpio) over a 6-week period was determined to be less than 0.27 and less than 2.7 when exposed to concentrations of 10 and 1 mg/L, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 3,4-dinitrotoluene can be estimated to be 575(SRC). Using a structure estimation method based on a log Kow of 2.08(2), the Koc of 3,4-dinitrotoluene can be estimated to be 326(SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), these estimated Koc values suggest that 3,4-dinitrotoluene is expected to have medium to low mobility in soil.

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.

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.
