4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation of hot vapors can irritate nose and throat. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes causes irritation. Repeated and prolonged skin contact produces a mild, transient irritation. (USCG, 1999)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Poisons A and B/

10.Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
no data available
10.2 Chemical stability
NMP shows unlimited shelf life in tightly closed containers, slight discoloration does not impair its quality.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Combustible when exposed to heat, open flame, or powerful oxidizers.This amine is a very mild chemical base. It does tend to neutralize acids to form salts plus water. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
10.4 Conditions to avoid
no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials
Reacts with sulfur or carbon disulfide at high temperatures and pressures.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products
Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: In a static die-away system using a sewage sludge seed and a semi-continuous activated sludge system, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone displayed 95% removal after 2 weeks and an average 7 day biodegradability of 95%, respectively(1). 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at an initial concentration of 210 ppm underwent >98% removal after 24 hrs when inoculated with a sewage sludge seed(2). 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at an initial concentration of 150 mg/L underwent 94% removal as measured by COD after a 1 day lag period in a screening study using an activated sludge seed(3). In a model flow-through biological treatment apparatus with an 18-hour retention time, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at an initial concentration of 300 mg/L underwent >98% removal using an activated sewage sludge(4). In a static screening test, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone underwent >90% removal after a 3-5 day acclimation period using a sewage sludge seed(5). 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, present at 100 mg/L, reached 73% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(6).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.38(1). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is estimated as 5(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.38(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is expected to have very high mobility in soil. 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone had Rf values of 0.74, 0.65, 0.67, and 1.0 in silt, loam, clay and sand, respectively, in laboratory soil thin layer chromatography (TLC) experiments(4) which is consistent with significant mobility in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The 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.
Contaminated packaging
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.
