Most Important Symptoms: Redness, irritation, coughing, burning sensations, respiratory discomfort
Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Special Hazards: Combustible liquid, may emit toxic fumes including oxides of sulfur on burning
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Instructions: Use water spray to cool exposed containers, avoid inhaling smoke, control runoff to prevent environmental contamination
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, chemical splash goggles, and suitable clothing, ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills entering drains, watercourses, or soil
Methods for Cleanup: Absorb with inert material such as sand or earth, collect in suitable container, dispose following local regulations, clean spill site with soap and water, ventilate area
Safe Handling Practices: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not breathe vapors, use in a fume hood when possible
Advice on Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, inert atmosphere is preferred to slow oxidation, keep away from heat sources or open flames
Storage Conditions: Cool, dry, and well-ventilated space, dedicate area for storage away from incompatible substances (oxidizers, acids)
Exposure Limits: No established workplace exposure limits for garlic oil, manage ventilation based on vapor presence
Technical Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, general room ventilation, avoid accumulation of vapor
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety glasses with side shields, lab apron, respirator if vapor forms
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling product, launder clothing contaminated by spills
Appearance: Yellow to brown liquid, potent garlic odor
Odor Threshold: Strong, characteristically garlic, detectable at very low concentrations
pH: Not applicable (oil)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Below -20°C (liquid at room temp)
Boiling Range: 180°C–260°C
Flash Point: Approximately 95°C (closed cup)
Evaporation Rate: Slow
Flammability: Combustible
Vapor Pressure: Low at room temperature
Solubility: Insoluble in water, miscible with organic solvents (alcohols, oils)
Partition Coefficient: Log Pow not established; expected to be high
Viscosity: Moderate
Decomposition Temperature: Decomposes at high heat, emitting pungent fumes
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage, prone to oxidation in presence of light and air
Reactive Materials: May react with strong oxidizers and acids
Hazardous Reactions: Generates unpleasant sulfurous gases if decomposed thermally
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures, direct sunlight, air exposure
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Sulfur oxides, allyl compounds, pungent organic vapors
Potential Health Effects: Irritation to skin, mucous membranes, and eyes; inhalation may cause respiratory tract discomfort; ingestion can lead to stomach upset
Acute Toxicity: Low oral toxicity typical for essential oils; LD50 for main components (rats, oral): Diallyl Disulfide ~260 mg/kg

Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: No evidence from available studies
Reproductive Toxicity: No data suggesting significant risk at typical exposures
Target Organs: Skin, respiratory tract, eyes
Toxicity to Aquatic Life: Harmful to aquatic organisms in concentrated form, may cause long-term adverse effects
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable in soil and water, breakdown via microorganisms
Bioaccumulation: Oil nature means potential persistence in sediment, not likely to bioaccumulate significantly in higher organisms
Mobility in Soil: Binds to organic matter, not highly mobile
Other Adverse Effects: Large quantities alter microbial flora in wastewater treatment, may generate odor problems upon release
Disposal Methods: Send surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed chemical disposal company, incinerate under controlled conditions
