ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
-
- Toxicity
Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
-
- Persistence and degradability
This product is biodegradable.
-
- Bioaccumulative potential
Para-dichlorobenzene is not considered as bioaccumulative.
-
- Mobility in soil
No information provided.
-
- Other adverse effects
It is possible that 1,4-dichlorobenzene will be slowly biodegraded in soil under aerobic conditions. Removal from water will be mainly by volatilisation (half life 4.3 hours from a model rive). Adsorption to sediment will be a major environmental fate process based upon extensive monitoring data. Analysis of Lake Ontario sediment cores has indicated the presence and persistence of p-dichlorobenzene since 1940.

OTHER INFORMATION
Additional information

EXPOSURE STANDARDS – TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGES: Exposure standards are established on the premise of an 8 hour work period of normal intensity, under normal climatic conditions and where a 16 hour break between shifts exists to enable the body to eliminate absorbed contaminants. In the following circumstances, exposure standards must be reduced: Strenuous work conditions; hot, humid climates; high altitude conditions; extended shifts (which increase the exposure period and shorten the period of recuperation).
RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:
The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as form of product, method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made.
HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:
It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: form of product; frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
