May cause dermatitis. (USCG, 1999)
Basic Treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). 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 shock and treat if necessary . Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with 0.9% saline (NS) 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 . Higher alcohols (>3 carbons) and related compounds
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams fo water may be ineffective Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. (ERG, 2016)
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
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. 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.
Separated from incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Cool. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.The storage temperature should be kept below 40 deg C and storage times longer than a few months should be avoided because the butynediol flakes tend to set up.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.
Protective clothing. Protective gloves.
Use ventilation (not if powder).

Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes. Reacts violently with anhydrides, acid chlorides, mercury salts and alkaline hydroxides or chlorides. This generates explosion hazard.

Pure BUTYNEDIOL is non-explosive. Small amounts of certain impurities-alkali hydroxides, alkaline earth hydroxides, halides-may cause explosive decomposition upon distillation. Butynediol should not be treated with basic catalysts in the absence of a solvent at room temperature, and its stability is less with elevated temperatures. In strong acids, contamination with mercury salts can also result in violent decomposition. [NFPA 491M 1991].
no data available
The pure diol may be distilled unchanged, but traces of alkali or alkaline earth hydroxides or halides may cause explosive decomposition during distillation. In presence of strong acids, mercury salts may cause violent decomposition of the diol.
When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes and may explode.

Corrosive. Inhalation may cause lung oedema, but only after initial corrosive effects on eyes and/or airways have become manifest. Medical observation is indicated.
The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in anaemia. The substance may have effects on the kidneys and liver. This may result in tissue lesions. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
AEROBIC: Biodegradation of 1,4-butynediol was 90% complete in 4 days using an initial concentration of 500 mg/L and a sewage sludge inoculum concentration of 500 mg/L(1).
An estimated BCF of 0.12 was calculated in fish for 1,4-butynediol(SRC), using a water solubility of 3.74X10+6 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 1,4-butynediol is estimated as 1(SRC), using a water solubility of 3.74X10+6 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,4-butynediol 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.
