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

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: 4-Bromophenol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 14 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). A 93% ring degradation was reported for 4-bromophenol, present at 100 mg/L, over a 1-day incubation period measured with UV absorption in sludge from aerated soil where glucose and peptone were added in mineral salts(2). A first order rate constant of 4.47X10-4 1/hours was determined for 4-bromophenol in unacclimated activated sludge(3). A first order rate constant of 1.57X10-3 was calculated for 4-bromophenol, present at 50 ppm, in cresol activated sludge at a pH of 7.2 in a 5-day period. This corresponds to a half life of 18.4 days(4). 4-Bromophenol, present at 400 mg/L degraded by <20% in 28 days in activated sludge as measured by DOC analysis, where DOC was present at 1000 COD-mg/L and the concentration of microbial population was 1 g/L(5). 4-Bromophenol, present at 50 ppm, reached 100% UV disappearance in 16 days using a Dunkirk soil inoculum with a microbial population of 4 g soil/L mineral salts media(6). Grab samples, which contained 10+7 to 10+9 organisms per liter were obtained from 5 ponds or rivers within 10 km from Athens, GA. 4-Bromophenol, present at 1 ppm, was found to degrade by 9.6, 9.6, 7.9, 9.9, and 8.2 E-11 liter/organisms per hour(7).
An experimental BCF of 8.0 to 12 was calculated in fish for 4-bromophenol using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of 4-bromophenol is estimated as 610(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.59(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 4-bromophenol is expected to have low mobility in soil. The pKa of 4-bromophenol is 9.17(4), indicating that this compound will exist partially 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.
