  • First Aid: EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.; SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas.; INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.

  • Cosmetic Ingredient Review Conclusion: Based on the data contained in this report, the CIR Expert Panel concludes that 2-amino-3-nitrophenol, 2-amino-4-nitrophenol,2-amino-4-nitrophenol sulfate, 2-amino-5-nitrophenol, 4-amino-3-nitrophenol, 3-nitro-p-hydroxyethylaminophenol, and 4-hydroxypropylamino-3-nitrophenol are safe as hair dye ingredients in the practices of use and concentration as described in this safety assessment, but the data are insufficient to make a determination of safety for 4-amino-2-nitrophenol.

  • Cosmetic Ingredient Review Finding(s): Ingredients for which the data are insufficient and their use in cosmetics is not supported Source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)
  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for 4-amino-2-nitrophenol(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.96(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). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 79(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.96(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 4-amino-2-nitrophenol is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 4-amino-2-nitrophenol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.2X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(4)). 4-Amino-2-nitrophenol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.5X10-5 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). Incomplete data were available regarding the biodegradation potential of 4-amino-2-nitrophenol(SRC, 2008); however, Nocardia v. was able to use this compound as a carbon source for limited growth under aerobic conditions(6). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 79(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.96(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 4-amino-2-nitrophenol is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.3X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(6), suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Incomplete data were available regarding the biodegradation potential of 4-amino-2-nitrophenol(SRC, 2008); however, Nocardia v. was able to use this compound as a carbon source for limited growth under aerobic conditions(7). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 4-amino-2-nitrophenol, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 3.5X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 4-amino-2-nitrophenol 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 2.3 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 7.0X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3) Particulate-phase 4-amino-2-nitrophenol may be removed from the air by wet or dry deposition(SRC). 4-Amino-2-nitrophenol contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
