- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1,4-dinitrobenzene, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 6.5X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,4-dinitrobenzene 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 753 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.1X10-14 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C (SRC) determined using a structure estimation method(3). 1,4-Dinitrobenzene absorbs light greater than 290 nm and may be susceptible to direct photolysis(4), but the kinet...
- First Aid Measures: Ingestion First Aid: Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer for medical attention .
- Reactivity Profile: All three isomers have similar properties and may react vigorously with oxidizing materials. Their reaction with nitric acid (nitration) will lead to a mixture of trinitrobenzenes possessing high-explosive properties [Urbanski, 1967, vol. 3, p. 290]. If heat and reaction conditions of the nitration are not controlled, detonation comparable to TNT may occur [Anon., J. R. Inst. Chem., 1960, 84, p. 451]. Mixture of 1,3-dinitrobenzene with tetranitromethane was found highly explosive [Urbanski, 1964, vol. 1, 592]. 1,2-dinitrobenzene is a severe explosion hazard when shocked or exposed to heat or flame. When heated to decomposition all dinitrobenzens emit toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 1374].

- Isolation and Evacuation: FIRE: If tank, rail tank car or highway tank is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2024)
- Soil Adsorption/Mobility: The Koc of 1,4-dinitrobenzene is estimated as 150(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 1.46(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,4-dinitrobenzene is expected to have high mobility in soil. It has been shown that nitrophenols and nitrobenzenes adsorb strongly to clay through an interaction between the nitro group and the water molecules or metallic cations in the clay(4), and 1,4-dinitrobenzene is expected to similarly bind to clays(SRC). The adsorption of 1,4-dinitrobenzene was studied in monmorillonite, kaolinite and illite clays(5). Adsorption coefficients (Kd) of 188, 1,460 and 3,100 L/kg were measured in kaolinite, illite and monmorillonite, respectively(5).
- Respirator Recommendations: Important additional information about respirator selection
- Populations at Special Risk: Those with blood disorders may be at increased risk.
- Artificial Pollution Sources: 1,4-Dinitrobenzene's production and use in the manufacture of dyes, as an organic synthesis reagent and as a camphor substitute in cellulose nitrate(1) may result in its release to the environment(SRC). 1,4-Dinitrobenzene is also an impurity in the production of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)(2).
- Environmental Biodegradation: More than 64 days were required to achieve a total loss of 1,4-dinitrobenzene when incubated with Niagara silt loam inoculum at 25 °C(1). No additional data were available concerning 1,4-dinitrobenzene, but 1,2-dinitrobenzene and 1,3-dinitrobenzene are degraded to aromatic amines and ring opened species upon anaerobic and aerobic incubation, respectively, with sewage effluent(2). Dinitrobenzene (isomer not specified), present at 100 mg/l, reached 0 percent of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(3), suggesting biodegradation occurs slowly(SRC).
- Threshold Limit Values (TLV): 0.15 ppm as TWA; (skin); BEI issued.
- Effects of Long Term Exposure: The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in anaemia. The substance may have effects on the liver. This may result in liver impairment.

- Environmental Bioconcentration: A BCF value of 5 was measured for 1,4-dinitrobenzene in fish(1). BCF values of 2-38 were measured in carp exposed to dinitrobenzene (isomer not specified) over a 6 week incubation period(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to moderate(SRC).

- Standard Transportation Number: 49 214 21; Dinitrobenzene, solid
- Volatilization from Water/Soil: The Henry's Law constant for 1,4-dinitrobenzene is estimated as 8.4X10-8 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 1,4-dinitrobenzene is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water(2). 1,4-Dinitrobenzene's Henry's Law constant(1) indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to occur(SRC). 1,4-Dinitrobenzene is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 6.5X10-4 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).

- Shipment Methods and Regulations: The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code lays down basic principles for transporting hazardous chemicals. Detailed recommendations for individual substances and a number of recommendations for good practice are included in the classes dealing with such substances. A general index of technical names has also been compiled. This index should always be consulted when attempting to locate the appropriate procedures to be used when shipping any substance or article.
- Environmental Abiotic Degradation: The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 1,4-dinitrobenzene with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 2.1X10-14 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 753 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). Nitrobenzenes absorb light greater than 290 nm(2), which suggests that 1,4-dinitrobenzene may be susceptible to direct photolysis in the environment(SRC). Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important fate process for 1,4-dinitrobenzene since this compound lacks functional groups that undergo hydrolysis under environmental conditions(2).

- Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary: 1,4-Dinitrobenzene's production and use in the manufacture of dyes, as an organic synthesis reagent and as a camphor substitute in cellulose nitrate may result in its release to the environment. 1,4-Dinitrobenzene is also an impurity in the production of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 6.5X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates 1,4-dinitrobenzene will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,4-dinitrobenzene 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 753 days. 1,4-Dinitrobenzene absorbs light at wavelengths greater than 290 nm and may be susceptible to direct photolysis, but the kinetics of th...
