【Other Preventative Measures】
SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.
【Protective Equipment and Clothing】
The low molecular weight aldehydes, the halogenated aliphatic aldehydes, and the unsaturated aldehydes are particularly irritating. /Aldehydes/
【Specification】

?p-Tolualdehyde , its cas register number is 104-87-0. It also can be called 4-Methylbenzaldehyde ; 4-Toluylaldehyde ; and Benzaldehyde, 4-methyl- . It is hazardous, so the first aid measures and others should be known. Such as: When on the skin: first, should flush skin with plenty of water immediately for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Secondly, get medical aid. Or in the eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Then get medical aid soon. While, it's inhaled: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Give artificial respiration while not breathing. When breathing is difficult, give oxygen. And as soon as to get medical aid. Then you have the ingesting of the product: Wash mouth out with water, and get medical aid immediately. Notes to physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.
In addition, p-Tolualdehyde (CAS NO.104-87-0) could be stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It is not compatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong reducing agents, strong bases, and you must not take it with incompatible materials. And also prevent it to broken down into hazardous decomposition products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.

【Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient】
log Kow = 2.26 (est)
【Disposal Methods】
SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

Use and Manufacturing

Environmental Fate and Exposure Potential

【Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary】
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 62(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 2,270 mg/L(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 4-methylbenzaldehyde is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 4-methylbenzaldehyde from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.25 mm Hg(4), and its water solubility(2). 4-Methylbenzaldehyde is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Based on limited information, 4-methylbenzaldehyde is expected to biodegrade in soil(SRC). A Pseudomonas strain was able to utilize 4-methylbenzaldehyde as the sole carbon source(5); a yeast strain grown with both this compound and either sucrose or pyruvate biodegraded 4-methylbenzaldehyde to the respective aromatic carbinol or alcohol(6).
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 62(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 2,270 mg/L(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 4-methylbenzaldehyde is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.25 mm Hg(4), and its water solubility(2). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 2.4 and 21 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 8(SRC), from its water solubility(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Based on limited data, biodegradation of 4-methylbenzaldehyde will take place in water(SRC). A Pseudomonas strain was able to utilize 4-methylbenzaldehyde as the sole carbon source(6); a yeast strain grown with both this compound and either sucrose or pyruvate biodegraded 4-methylbenzaldehyde to the respective aromatic carbinol or alcohol(7).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 4-methylbenzaldehyde, which has a vapor pressure of 0.25 mm Hg at 25 deg C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 4-methylbenzaldehyde is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 21 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.8X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 deg C(3). The reactivity of 4-methylbenzaldehyde (1 ppm) with NOx (0.5 ppm) in light was measured in a smog chamber as 1.78 ppb/min(4). 4-Methylbenzaldehyde contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(5) and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
