Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include impaired liver function, dryness of the skin, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, activation of peptic ulcers, hepatic disease, hyperuricemia and circulatory collapse (after rapid intravenous injection). It may cause temporary flushing and a feeling of warmth, temporary headache, itching, tingling, skin rash and allergies. It may also cause burning of the skin, face and upper trunk and elevation of serum bilirubin. Other symptoms include mild irritation of upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal disturbances. It may cause dyspepsia, hyperpigmentation, decrease in excretion of bromosulfophthalein, increase of plasma transaminase activities, incidence of acute gouty arthritis, acanthosis nigricans, hyperglycemia, increased vasodilation and cystoid edema of the macula. It may also cause furunculosis and other skin lesions, hypotension, abdominal cramps, mild diabetes and urticaria. Other symptoms include pruritus, toxic amblyopia, jaundice and decreased glucose tolerance. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may cause mild irritation to the upper respiratory tract. When heated to decomposition it may emit toxic fumes of NOx. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Immediate withdrawal of niacin is the primary treatment in acute toxicity. Symptoms should resolve over several hours with sequelae. Aspirin or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can be used for symptoms. For chronic toxicity treatment, niacin should be stopped and attention given to presenting symptoms and findings. Patients with significant hepatotoxicity may require intensive care monitoring and supportive care until liver function recovers. ... Treatment of rhabdomyolysis includes monitoring of renal function, urinary alkalinization, and maintenance of urinary output.
Extinguishing media
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Advice for firefighters
Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
NFPA 704

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: In aqueous, aerobic soil suspensions containing mineral salts and a fertile garden soil inoculum, nicotinic acid was completely degraded after 2 to 4 days of incubation(1). In aqueous, aerobic soil suspensions containing a silt loam soil inoculum, nicotinic acid was degraded by 16.1% after 1 day, 99.9% after 2 days, and 100% after 4 days of incubation(2). Nicotinic acid was readily biodegraded in screening tests using an activated sludge inoculum(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for nicotinic acid(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.36(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of nicotinic acid is estimated as 37(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.36(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that nicotinic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of nicotinic acid is 4.75(4), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).
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.
