no data available
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
no data available
Extinguishing media
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped or safely confined. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may spread fire. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Chlorotoluenes
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical

Advice for firefighters
Use powder, water spray, carbon dioxide.
NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 2 | Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g. diethyl ether, ammonium phosphate, iodine) | |
| FIRE | 1 | Materials that require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur. Includes some finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point at or above 93.3 °C (200 °F). (e.g. mineral oil, ammonia) | |
| REACT | 0 | Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium,N2) | |

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames. Above 82°C use a closed system and ventilation. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from strong bases and strong oxidants. Cool. Well closed. Keep in a well-ventilated room. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

Persistence and degradability
Bacterial strains isolated from a landfill site previously used for disposal of chlorinated organic wastes were able to utilize 2,6-dichlorotoluene(1). 2,6-Dichlorotoluene, at 1000 uM, was not readily biodegraded in an anoxic soil slurry; 30-35% biodegradation was reached after 150 days(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 1100 was calculated for 2,6-dichlorotoluene(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 4.29(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will occur(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 2,6-dichlorotoluene is estimated as approximately 5,100(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 4.29(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,6-dichlorotoluene will be immobile in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects

Disposal methods
ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
