- First Aid: INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Corrosive chemicals will destroy the membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and, in addition, have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting which increases the medical problems. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Transport the victim IMMEDIATELY to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)
- Fire Hazards: Combustible.
- Interactions: Acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity is the most common cause of acute liver failure in industrialized countries. Understanding the mechanisms of APAP-induced liver injury as well as other forms of sterile liver injury is critical to improve the care of patients. Recent studies demonstrate that danger signaling and inflammasome activation play a role in APAP-induced injury. The aim of these investigations was to test the hypothesis that benzyl alcohol (BA) is a therapeutic agent that protects against APAP-induced liver injury by modulation of danger signaling. APAP-induced liver injury was dependent, in part, on Toll-like receptor (TLR)9 and receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) signaling. BA limited liver injury over a dose range of 135-540 ug/g body weight or when delivered as a...

- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), benzyl alcohol, which has a vapor pressure of 9.4X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor phase benzyl alcohol 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 2 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.3X10-11 cu cm/molecule sec at 25 °C(3). Benzyl alcohol does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

- Reactivity Profile: Attacks plastics. [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 236]. Acetyl bromide reacts violently with alcohols or water [Merck 11th ed. 1989]. Mixtures of alcohols with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide can cause explosions. Example: an explosion will occur if dimethylbenzylcarbinol is added to 90% hydrogen peroxide then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid. Mixtures of ethyl alcohol with concentrated hydrogen peroxide form powerful explosives. Mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and 1-phenyl-2-methyl propyl alcohol tend to explode if acidified with 70% sulfuric acid [Chem. Eng. News 45(43):73 1967; J, Org. Chem. 28:1893 1963]. Alkyl hypochlorites are violently explosive. They are readily obtained by reacting hypochlorous acid and alcohols either in aqueous solution or m...

- Soil Adsorption/Mobility: Experimental Koc values for benzyl alcohol were <5 for three different soils; Apison (0.11% organic carbon), Fullerton (0.06% organic carbon), and Dormont (1.2% organic carbon)(1). An experimental Koc of 15 was determined for benzyl alcohol on a red-brown Australian soil (1.09% organic carbon)(2,3). A log Koc of 1.43 has also been reported(4). According to a classification scheme(5), these Koc values suggest that benzyl alcohol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
- Carcinogen Classification: Summary: Under the conditions of these 2-year gavage studies, there was no evidence of carcinogenic activity of benzyl alcohol for male or female F344/N rats dosed with 200 or 400 mg/kg. Survival in both dose groups of female rats was 50% that of vehicle controls, primarily due to an increased number of gavage-related deaths. There was no evidence of carcinogenic activity of benzyl alcohol for male or female B6C3F1 mice dosed with 100 or 200 mg/kg for 2 years.

- Environmental Biodegradation: ANAEROBIC: Under anaerobic conditions, benzyl alcohol underwent 100% mineralization within 2 weeks when inoculated with a municipal digester sludge(1). Benzyl alcohol at an initial concentration of 50 ppm underwent greater than 75% mineralization to carbon dioxide and methane within 8 weeks using a municipal sewage sludge inoculum under anaerobic conditions(2). Using sediment from anoxic salt marsh, 10 mM benzyl alcohol underwent degradation to carbon dioxide and methane after a 2 month incubation period(3). Benzyl alcohol was shown to be readily biodegradable using a synthetic anaerobic sewage sludge(4).

- Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 1.4 was calculated in fish for benzyl alcohol(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.10(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).
- Explosive Limits and Potential: Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.3-13
- Volatilization from Water/Soil: The Henry's Law constant for benzyl alcohol is 3.37X10-7 atm cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that benzyl alcohol is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water and moist soil surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 113 days(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 825 days(SRC). Benzyl alcohol's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). Benzyl alcohol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 9.4X10-2 mm Hg(3).

- Critical Temperature and Pressure: Critical temperature: 715 K; Critical pressure: 4.3X10+6 Pa
- Environmental Abiotic Degradation: The half-life for the reaction of benzyl alcohol with alkylperoxy radicals was estiamted at 9 years(SRC) using an experimentally determined rate constant of 2.4 L/mole-s(1) and an estimated alkylperoxy concentration in water of 1X10-9 mole/L(2). The half-life for the reaction of benzyl alcohol with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals in water can be estimated at approximately 100 days using an experimentally determined rate constant of 8.4X10+9 L/mole-s(3) and an optimal hydroxyl radical concentration of 1X10-17 mole/L in natural waters(2). Exposure of benzyl alcohol to sunlight for 4 hours in natural water did not produce any detectable oxidizing species (detection limit 1.5 uM), demonstrating that photochemical induced oxidation did not occur within that time frame(4).
- Probable Routes of Human Exposure: NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 404,916 workers (236,470 of these were female) were potentially exposed to benzyl alcohol in the US(1). Occupational exposure to benzyl alcohol may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where benzyl alcohol is produced or used. Monitoring and use data indicate that the general population may be exposed to benzyl alcohol via dermal contact with consumer products containing benzyl alcohol and to a lesser extent via inhalation of ambient air, ingestion of food and drinking water(SRC).

Average concentrations quantified using EPA detection method 625 ranged from 383-437 mg/kg(1). Benzyl alcohol was identified as a volatile emission from electrical plug-in type of pine-scented air freshener(2). Fireplace emissions from partially seasoned oak tested positive for benzyl alcohol(3).
- Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary: Benzyl alcohol's production and use as a solvent and chemical intermediate, in perfumery and flavoring, in textiles and sheet plastics, inks, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical aid may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. Benzyl alcohol's natural occurrence in flower oils and tree exudates may result in its direct release to the environment. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 9.4X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates benzyl alcohol will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase benzyl alcohol will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 16 hours. Benzyl alcohol does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and, therefore,...
