3.2 Methods of Manufacturing
Gamma-picoline + formaldehyde (condensation/dehydration)|...manufactured by treatment of 4-methylpyridine with aqueous formaldehyde, followed by dehydration of the resulting intermediate alcohol. The reaction of 2-vinylpyridine is carried out at 150 to 200 °C in an autoclave. After removal of unreacted 2-methylpyridine by distillation, concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide is added to the residue and the resultant mixture is distilled under reduced pressure.

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.
ACUTE TOXICITY INFORMATION ON ANIMALS & EXPERIENCE WITH INTERMITTENT EXPOSURES IN MAN SHOW THAT MORE THAN ORDINARY CARE IS NEEDED TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT & INHALATION.
SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in such a manner so that there is no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance to ascertain the completeness of the cleaning procedures should be implemented before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.
4.2 DisposalMethods
SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Environmental Concentrations
4-Vinylpyridine was detected in cigarette smoke at an unspecified concentration(1).
Pollution Sources
4-Vinylpyridine's production and use as a monomer for polyvinylpyridine polymers and in synthetic rubbers, photographic film, ion exchange resins as well as pharmaceuticals(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).
Environmental Fate
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 15(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 29,100 mg/l at 25 °C(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 4-vinylpyridine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). 4-Vinylpyridine has a pKa of 5.62(7), which indicates that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in moist acidic soils, and cations adsorb more strongly to soils than neutral molecules. Therefore, the mobility of 4-vinylpyridine is expected to be much lower in acidic soils than in neutral or alkaline soil(SRC). Volatilization of the neutral species of 4-vinylpyridine from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.2X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a group contribution estimation method(4). However, the protonated form will not volatilize(SRC). The potential for volatilization of 4-vinylpyridine from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon an extrapolated vapor pressure of 1.7 mm Hg(5). Biodegradation of 4-vinylpyridine in soil is not expected to be a major fate process based on a single aerobic screening test showing that this compound was not biodegraded over a 4-week period(6).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 160(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 29,100 mg/l at 25 °C(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 4-vinylpyridine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.2X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a group contribution estimation method(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 12 and 90 days, respectively(SRC). The pKa of 4-vinylpyridine is 5.62(7), indicating this compound will partially exist in the ionized form in acidic waters and cations do not volatilize(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), BCF values of 48 to 96 measured in carp(6), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation of 4-vinylpyridine in water is not expected to be a major fate process based on a single aerobic screening test showing that this compound was not biodegraded over a 4-week period(6).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 4-vinylpyridine, which has an extrapolated vapor pressure of 1.7 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 4-vinylpyridine 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 14 hours(SRC), calculated from its estimated rate constant of 2.7X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC), determined using a structure estimation method(3). Vapor-phase 4-vinylpyridine is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 13 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.1X10-17 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC), determined using a structure estimation method(3).
Abiotic Degradation
The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 4-vinylpyridine with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 2.7X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 14 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 4-vinylpyridine with ozone has been estimated as 2.1X10-17 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 13 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 7X10+11 ozone molecules per cu cm(2). 4-Vinylpyridine is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups(3). Data are not available to assess this compound's potential for direct photolysis. A pKa of 5.62(4) indicates 4-vinylpyridine will partially exist in the protonated form in acidic waters and soils.
Bioconcentration
72.44|BCF values of 48 to 96 were measured in carp at concentrations of 2 and 20 ug/l during an 8-week study(1). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
Mobility
15.14 L/kg|The Koc of 4-vinylpyridine is estimated as 15(SRC), using a measured water solubility of 29,100 mg/l at 25 °C(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 4-vinylpyridine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of 4-vinylpyridine is 5.62(4), which indicates that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form under acidic conditions. Cations adsorb more strongly to soil surfaces than neutral molecules thus adsorption of 4-vinylpyridine is expected to be greater in acidic soils(SRC).
Volatilization
The Henry's Law constant for 4-vinylpyridine is estimated as 3.2X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a group contribution estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 4-vinylpyridine is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 12 days(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 90 days(SRC). 4-Vinylpyridine's Henry's Law constant(1) indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). However, 4-vinylpyridine is a weak base with a pKa of 5.62(3), which indicates this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in acidic conditions; cations do not volatilize from either moist soil or water surfaces. The potential for volatilization of 4-vinylpyridine from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon an extrapolated vapor pressure of 1.7 mm Hg(4).
Human Exposure
The most probable human exposure to 4-vinylpyridine would be occupational exposure, which may occur through dermal contact or inhalation at places where it is produced or used. NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 3 workers are potentially exposed to 4-vinylpyridine in the USA(1). Non-occupational exposures are likely to occur from the passive and active inhalation of cigarette smoke(2).
Mesh
Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents. (From Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed, p301, p499) (See all compounds classified as Indicators and Reagents.)
