Quinoline

Quinoline is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C9H7N. It is a colorless hygroscopic liquid with a strong odor. Aged samples, especially if exposed to light, become yellow and later brown. Quinoline is only slightly soluble in cold water but dissolves readily in hot water and most organic solvents Wikipedia

Segregation chart for load, transport, and storage

This chart shows whether loading, transport, or storage with other hazard classes is permitted, prohibited, or restricted. Based on 49 CFR §177.848.

Hinweis: In der Kompatibilitätstabelle sind Stoffe der Gefahrenklasse 6.1 nur dann gesondert zu berücksichtigen, wenn der Stoff als inhalativ giftig (Gefahrenzone A) sowie in der Verpackungsgruppe I eingestuft ist. Siehe Sonderbestimmung 1 sowie PHMSA Interpretation #09-0252.

Packages with POISON or POISON INHALATION HAZARD labels, or a POISON label displaying “PG III,” or “PG III” marked next to a POISON label may not be transported with foodstuffs, feed or any other edible material, intended for humans or animals. For exceptions see 49 CFR §177.841(e).
