In case of ingestion, induction of emesis is not recommended because of the potential for central nervous system depression. Gastric lavage and administration of activated charcoal may be considered soon after ingestion, provided airways are protected. Dinitrotoluene
Water, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide from protected location.
Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
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 sealable containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

1) remove all ignition sources. 2) ventilate area of spill. 3) for small quantities, sweep onto paper or other suitable material & burn in suitable combustion chamber which allows burning in unconfined condition & is equipped with appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. large quantities may be reclaimed...if...not practical, dissolve in fuel oil & atomize in suitable combustion chamber equipped with appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. dinitrotoluene
NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust. 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.
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants, food and feedstuffs and incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Well closed. Keep in a well-ventilated room. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.Normally stored as a molten liquid. Separate from strong oxidizers & reducing agents.

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.
AEROBIC: 2,5-Dinitrotoluene was not mineralized in water from a pond and from Waconda Bay; however, 2,5-dinitrotoluene was co-metabolized when 500 ppm of yeast extract were added to the water from these two sources(1). The rate of degradation with added yeast extract in Searsville Pond water was 2.3X10+10 mL/cell-hour, and in Waconda Bay water was 12X10+10 mL/cell-hour(1). Analogous compound 2,4-dinitrotoluene was used as the sole carbon source and mineralized in natural surface water that had been acclimated to 120 ppm 2,4-dinitrotoluene; after a 2-3 day lag period, >90% of 10 ppm 2,4-dinitrotoluene was transformed in aerated water after 6 days of incubation(2). Mixed dinitrotoluene isomers, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test that suggests the compound is not readily biodegradable(3).
An estimated BCF of 13 was calculated for 2,5-dinitrotoluene(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.18(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). The BCF for dinitrotoluene (mixed isomers) has been measured to be low (BCF values of 0.6 to 21.2) in carp (Carprinus carpio)(2). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 2,5-dinitrotoluene can be estimated to be 575(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,5-dinitrotoluene is expected to have medium 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.
