Exposure Controls
 Appropriate Engineering Controls:
 Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne concentrations below their respective occupational
exposure limits. Local ventilation is usually preferred. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location

Personal Protection:
Hands: Compatible gloves. (Butyl rubber gloves)
Eyes: Safety goggles/ Chemical Safety glasses and Face shield.
Clothing: Boots and clothing to prevent contact.
Respirator: Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European
Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
 1-10 times OEL: Use use air-purifying respirator with full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s) or air-purifying full facepiece respirator with
an organic vapor canister or a full facepiece powered air-purifying respirator fitted with organic vapor cartridge(s). The air purifying element
must have an end of service life indicator, or a documented change out schedule must be established. Otherwise, use supplied air if in doubt.
 For concentrations more than 10 times the occupational exposure level and less than the lower of either 100 times the occupational exposure
level or the IDLH: Use Type C full face piece supplied-air respirator operated in positive-pressure or continuous flow mode.
 For concentrations > 100 times the occupational exposure level or greater than the IDLH level or unknown concentrations (such as in
emergencies): Use self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece in positive-pressure mode or Type C positive-pressure full face
piece supplied-air respirator with an auxiliary positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) escape system.
 Escape respirators are designed to be used only in an emergency; and only to escape from a dangerous area to a safe area, typically
designed for one-time use for a short period, typically 15 minutes to 1 hour.

 Long-term exposure can lead to darkening of the skin and erosion of tooth enamel
 Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. The substance may have effects on the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in
digestive disorders including pyrosis and constipation. [IPCS, CEC; International Chemical Safety Card on Acetic acid (October 1997).
 Workers exposed for a number of years to concentration of up to 200 ppm have been found to suffer from palpebral edema with hypertrophy
of the lymph nodes, conjunctival hyperanaemia, chronic pharyngitis, chronic catarrhal bronchitis and in some cases asthmatic bronchitis and
traces of erosion on the vestibular surface of teeth (incisors and canines). Following repeated exposures, workers may complain of digestive

SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

a) Toxicity
 Ecotoxicity:Fish
 Bluegill 96hr LC50: 75 mg/l
 Pimephalus Promelas (Fathead Minnow )
o LC50: (1;24;48;72;96 hr): (>315; 122; 92, 88; 88 mg/l)
 Crustacea
 Daphnia Magna (pH 7)
o 24 Hr (EC0; EC50; EC100): 950; 6000; 7145 mg/l)
 Daphnia Magna 24Hr LC50: 47 mg/l
 Artemia Salina 48 Hr LC50: 32 mg/l
 Harmful to aquatic organisms (IPCS 1999)
 High concentrations will produce pH levels toxic to oxidizing bacteria, inhibiting oxygen demand. (Environment Canada 1981,
HSDB HSN 40 20050624)
 EC50 Tobacco fumigation 41 mg/cu m/2 hr, effect: leaf injury (95% confidence interval 4-79) [Verschueren, K. Handbook of
Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals. Volumes 1-2. 4th ed. John Wiley & Sons., York, NY. 2001, p. 102]
b) Persistence and Degradability
 Photochemical degradation: OH rate constant: 7.4X10-13 cm3/molecule-sec. Half life is about 22 days in air.
 Biological oxygen demand after 10 days (BOD10) at 20 deg C is: 82% biological oxidation in fresh water and 88% biological
oxidation in sea water [Verschueren, K. Handbook of Environmental Data of Organic Chemicals. 3rd ed. New York, NY: Van
Nostrand Reinhold Co., 1996, p 106].
 Readily biodegradable.
 Inoculum: Activated sludge, not adapted.
 Concentration: 100mg/l
 Conditions: Aerobic, pH=7
 Result: 100% degradation after 140 hours.
 Ref: IUCLID dataset, 2000

 Soil
 Using a modified OECD protocol, 75% and > 90% degradation of acetic acid was observed after 14 days using garden
soil and sediment from the RhineRiver as inocula, respectively. (HSDB, 40, 2005)

c) Bioaccumulation
 BCF = 3.162
 Log Kow = -0.17 Low potential to bio accumulate.
Based on the Log Kow and Bio concentration factor value it is expected to have low potential to concentrate in fatty tissue of fish and aquatic
organisms.

d) Mobility
 If released in air based on its vapor pressure of 1.5 kPa @20 degrees acetic acid should exist mostly in the air, where it will
photodegrdare with a half life of 22 days approximately.
 Henry's Law constant = 1X10-7 atm-cu m/mol at 25 deg C, pH 4.indicates a tendency to stay in water rather than volatilize.
 Similarly Koc values ranging from 1 to 228 suggest that acetic acid is expected to have very high to moderate mobility in soil.

e) Environmental Fate
 Based on the environmental modeling, this material has a low potential to get moderate absorbed in the organic matter of soil and is
slightly volatile from water bodies and based on the Log Kow and Bio concentration factor value it is expected to have low potential
to concentrate in fatty tissue of fish and aquatic organisms.. Since this is an estimated result it is recommended that the material
should not be disposed into the environment. The material should never be disposed into the sewage.

SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Waste treatment methods
 EPA Hazardous Waste Code(s): D002
 Dispose of this material in accordance with standard practice for disposal of potentially hazardous materials as required by applicable
federal, state or local laws.
 It is recommended that the waste products should not be disposed in to the sewage.
