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.

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Poisons A and B

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.
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.
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 percent losses of herbicidal effectiveness of 0.1-32 ppm of 2,3,6,-trichlorobenzoic acid in an aerobic grab sample test with 4 different soils were 15.9%, 3.2%, 6.2%, and 9.0% after 120 days in incubation in Staten Island peaty muck, Stockton adobe clay, Yolo fine sandy loam and Hesperia sandy loam, respectively(1). Leaching of the 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid was ruled out as a mechanism of effectiveness reduction(1). Incubation for 80 days of test concentrations of 100 ppm using a soil perfusion system with Celeryville muck with high microbial activity resulted in only 2% degradation (as measured by chloride ion acclimation in the perfusate)(2). 2,3,6-Trichlorobenzoic acid, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(3). No degradation of 100 ppm 2,3,6,-trichlorobenzoic acid was observed in 36 days incubation in aqueous laboratory aerobic sewage die-away screening tests using raw sewage inoculum(4). Addition of glucose or benzoate and m-chlorobenzoate to the sewage did not promote degradation of the 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid(4).
The BCF of 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid was <0.4 at a concentration of 293 ppb and <3.5 at a concentration of 29.3 ppb using carp (Cypinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid can be estimated to be 65(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). The estimated pKa of 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid is 1.8(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). 2,3,6-Trichlorobenzoic acid readily leaches through soil; 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid has been found at depths of 11 feet following surface application(5). Approximately 10% of the 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid applied at rates of 0.2 and 0.6 kg/hectare to 8 experimental plots leached an unspecified distance to the tile-drain groundwater in 3 months(6). 2,3,6-Trichlorobenzoic acid was found to be readily leached from soil columns containing 4 different types of soil (Staten Island peaty muck, Stockton adobe clay, Yolo fine sandy loam and Hesperia sandy loam)(7). In a soil column filled with silty clay loam, 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid was leached 20 inches upon the addition of sufficient water to wet the column to 22 inches(8). Most of the residual herbicidal activity of 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid applied to a test field at a rate of 15-30 lb/acre was present in the second, third and fourth foot depth of the 6 foot of depth tested(9).

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.
