Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
SYMPTOMS: This compound may be an asphyxiant or a slight anesthetic at high concentrations. It may also cause eye irritation. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This material may be narcotic in high concentrations and is an asphyxiant. This chemical is extremely flammable. (NTP, 1992)
Basic Treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary ... Anticipate seizures and treat as necessary ... For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport ... Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 mL/kg up to 200 mL of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal ... Treat frostbite with rapid rewarming techniques ... Aliphatic hydrocarbons and related compounds
Fire prevention: to reduce the likelihood of accidental leakage ... reserve valves & automatic closure devices should be provided ... sources of ignition should be prevented & fire-fighting equipment should be provided. hydrocarbons, aliphatic
This chemical is flammable. Vapor is heavier than air and may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. (NTP, 1992)
Shut off supply; if not possible and no risk to surroundings, let the fire burn itself out. In other cases extinguish with powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
Evacuate danger area! Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources.
Evacuate danger area! Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources.
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

The substance may polymerize. Reacts violently with oxygen and oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Stable
Highly flammable ... Dangerous fire ... risk.The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.The unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as 1-BUTENE, are generally much more reactive than the alkanes. Strong oxidizers may react vigorously with them. Reducing agents can react exothermically to release gaseous hydrogen. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, compounds in this class can undergo very exothermic addition polymerization reactions. May react with oxidizing materials. Aluminum borohydride reacts with alkenes and in the presence of oxygen, combustion is initiated even in the absence of moisture.

On loss of containment this substance can cause suffocation by lowering the oxygen content of the air in confined areas.
Cell free extracts and suspensions of microorganisms isolated from soil or water and raised on ethylene were found to epoxidize 1-butene to butene-1,2-epoxide(1,2). Methanotrophic bacteria isolated from soil and water were found to epoxidize 1-butene(3). Pure cultures of Pseudomonas oleovorans grown on octane oxidized 1-butene to 1-butene-3-ol(4). Bacteria isolated from soil and water and raised on propane were found to epoxidize 1-butene(5). Alkenes can be utilized by a wide range of microorganisms and are catabolized via several routes(6). These include the oxidation of a terminal methyl group leaving the double bond intact and resulting in unsaturated alcohol, aldehyde and fatty acid or oxidation of the double bond resulting in the formation of epoxide, diol compounds and possibly hydroxyacids(6).
An estimated BCF of 14 was calculated for 1-butene(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.40(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.
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 1-butene can be estimated to be 44(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-butene is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
