First Aid Measures Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case o f contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of wa ter for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with ple nty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contam inated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. T horoughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical at ten tio n immediately. Inhalation If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mo uth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can b e administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not improve. Ingestion INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lowe r the head so that the vomit will not reenter the m outh and throat. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt o r waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perfo rm mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible in dication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive.

Ecological Information Ecotoxicity Not available. Environmental Fate Chlorendic acid's production and use as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of unsaturated poly ester resins, in glass fiber reinforced resins for process equipment in chemical industries, to impart flame resistance to polyurethane foams, in the manufacture of alkyd resins for special paints and inks, and in flame-retardant treatmen t of wool fabrics may result in its release to the environment throug h various waste streams. If released to air, an est imated vapor pressure of 1.4X10-8 mm Hg at 25 deg C indicates ch lorendic acid will exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase chlorendic ac id will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and d ry deposition. If released to soil, chlorendic acid is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Ko c of 49. The pKa of chlorendic acid is 3.1, indicating that this compou nd will primarily exist in anion form and anions ge nerally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay
