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.

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
The maximum degradation rate of 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid, present at 40-45 mg/L, using an activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and an ultimate biodegradability test, ISO 7287, was 12 and 18 umol/hr, following a 16-day lag phase and being completely removed after 25 days; the study was conducted using a racemic mixture of five chiral phenoxyalkanoic acids.
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.
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
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.

AEROBIC: The maximum degradation rate of 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid, present at 40-45 mg/L, using an activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and an ultimate biodegradability test, ISO 7287, was 12 and 18 umol/hr, following a 16-day lag phase and being completely removed after 25 days; the study was conducted using a racemic mixture of five chiral phenoxyalkanoic acids(1).
An estimated BCF of 11 was calculated in fish for 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid(SRC), using water solubility of 1,200 mg/L(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(SRC).
The Koc of 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid is estimated as 88(SRC), using a water solubility of 1,200 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid is expected to have high mobility in soil. The pKa of 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid is 3.62(4), indicating that this compound will exist entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb) more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).

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.
