ETHYL PHOSPHORODICHLORIDATE

Ethyl phosphorodichloridate is strongly irritating to skin. It may cause visible destruction or irreversible alterations in human skin tissue at the site of contact. It is very toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or by skin absorption. It may be combustible though it may require some effort to ignite.

• Strong Oxidizing Agent
• Water-Reactive

Reacts with water to form hydrogen chloride(hydrochloric acid)

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating fumes of hydrogen chloride and phosphoric acid may be formed.

Behavior in Fire: Contact with water applied to adjacent fires produces irritating fumes of hydrogen chloride. (USCG, 1999)

Inhalation of vapor irritates nose and throat. Contact with liquid causes severe burns of eyes and skin. Ingestion causes severe burns of mouth and stomach. (USCG, 1999)

Organophosphates, such as ETHYL PHOSPHORODICHLORIDATE, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.

• Acyl Halides, Sulfonyl Halides, and Chloroformates

Use caution: Liquids with this reactive group classification have been known to react with the absorbents listed below.

• Cellulose-Based Absorbents
• Mineral-Based & Clay-Based Absorbents
• Dirt/Earth

Excerpt from 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids.

SPILL: See ERG Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances on the UN/NA 2927 datasheet.

FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]:

SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray.

LARGE FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. Dike runoff from fire control for later disposal.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. (ERG, 2020)

Goggles and face shield; self-contained or air-line respirator; rubber gloves, boots, and clothing. (USCG, 1999)

No information available.

INHALATION: remove victim from exposure; if his breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration, call a doctor.

EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min.; get medical attention for burns.

SKIN: flush with water; get medical attention for burns.

INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; give large amounts of water, followed by milk or milk of magnesia. (USCG, 1999)
