Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Rest. Refer for medical attention .
Short term exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs. High concentrations may cause headache, dizziness or unconsciousness. (USCG, 1999)
INHALATION. Symptoms: Cough. Dizziness. Headache. Sore throat. Unconsciousness. First aid: Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. SKIN: Symptoms: Dry skin. Redness. First aid: Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. EYES: Symptoms: Redness. Pain. First aid: First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION: First aid: Rinse mouth. Rest. Refer for medical attention.
Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Water. Fire Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. (USCG, 1999)
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire. (USCG, 1999)
Use powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable metal containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT wash away into sewer.

1. remove all ignition sources. 2. ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. for small quantities, absorb on paper towels. evaporate in safe place (such as fume hood). allow ... evaporating vapors to completely clear the hood ductwork. burn the paper in suitable location away from combustible materials.
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 46°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. 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.Prior to working with this chemical you should be trained on its proper handling and storage. Ethyl butyl ketone must be stored to avoid contact with oxidizers such as peroxides, chlorates, perchlorates, permanganates, and nitrates, because violent reactions occur. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away form heat. Sources of ignition such as smoking and open flames are prohibited where ethyl butyl ketone is used, handled, or stored in a manner that could create a potential fire or explosion hazard.

PROBLEM OF FLAMMABILITY SHOULD NOT BE GREAT UNLESS MATERIAL IS HANDLED @ ELEVATED TEMP.ETHYL BUTYL KETONE is reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion. Reacts with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. Incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. May react violently with aldehydes, HNO3, HNO3 + H2O2, and HClO4. Irritating vapors and toxic gases may be formed when involved in fire (USCG, 1999).

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness.
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
AEROBIC: A 3.7 percent theoretical BOD was observed for 3-heptanone (initial concn of 500 ppm) in a Warburg respirometer after 1 day of incubation with activated sludge inocula at 20 deg C(1).
An estimated BCF of 6 was calculated in fish for 3-heptanone(SRC), using a water solubility of 4,300 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 3-heptanone is estimated as 44(SRC), using a water solubility of 4,300 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-heptanone 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.
