SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
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.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include abdominal cramps, skin rash and prolonged diarrhea. It colors the urine pink or red. It also colors the peri-anal skin pink or red. Other adverse effects, which are uncommon, include excessive bowel activity (griping, nausea and vomiting), peri-anal irritation, weakness, dizziness, palpitations and sweating. There has been reported a suspected allergic reaction with facial swelling, redness and discomfort. Leukopenia and liver damage have also been reported. There has been one case of grayish-blue discoloration of the skin. Prolonged use may cause discoloration (staining) of mucosa of the large intestine. Large doses may produce nephritis. Enteritis may also occur from large doses. Frequent or prolonged use may result in dependence. Superficial sloughing of discolored skin may occur in incontinent persons or children wearing napkins. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
In case of overdosage, patients should be given plenty of fluids. An anti-cholinergic preparation such as atropine sulfate may be given to offset the excessive intestinal motility.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": A high-efficiency particulate arrestor (HEPA) or charcoal filters can be used to minimize amt of carcinogen in exhausted air ventilated safety cabinets, lab hoods, glove boxes or animal rooms ... Filter housing that is designed so that used filters can be transferred into plastic bag without contaminating maintenance staff is avail commercially. Filters should be placed in plastic bags immediately after removal ... The plastic bag should be sealed immediately ... The sealed bag should be labelled properly ... Waste liquids ... should be placed or collected in proper containers for disposal. The lid should be secured & the bottles properly labelled. Once filled, bottles should be placed in plastic bag, so that outer surface ... is not contaminated ... The plastic bag should also be sealed & labelled. ... Broken glassware ... should be decontaminated by solvent extraction, by chemical destruction, or in specially designed incinerators. Chemical Carcinogens
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
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.

no data available
Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 50 was calculated in fish for 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 3.9(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone can be estimated to be 8,600(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone is expected to be immobile in soil. An estimated pKa value of 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone is 8.45(3), indicating that this compound will exist partially in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
