SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES Avoid skin contact Sweep material onto paper and place in fiber carton. Dispose in an approved incinerator. Contract with licensed chemical waste disposal service. Federal, state, and local regulations take precedence. SECTION X. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS DATA A. SUMMARY: This chemical has been tested for environmental effects. Some published data are available for this chemical, and these data have been used to provide the following estimates of environmental impact: This chemical has a high biological oxygen demand, and it is expected to cause significant oxygen depletion in aquatic systems. It is not likely to bioconcentrate. If diluted with a large amount of water, a small quantity of this chemical releaed directly or indirectly into the environment is not expected to have a significant impact. B. OXYGEN DEMAND DATA: Using a fully acclimated activated sludge and the subject compound as a sole carbon source, Pitter showed that 3,4-dimethylphenol was 97.5 percent degraded, as judged by COD removal.
