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.
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound via intravenous route include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, reduction in white cell count, leukopenia and agranulocytosis. Other symptoms via intravenous route include dose-related leukemia, thrombocytopenia, myelosuppression, gastrointestinal upset, alterations in hepatic function tests, fatal hepatic coma, myalgia, rhabdomyolysis, rash, stomatitis, fever, hypotension and reversible renal impairment. Symptoms of exposure to this type of compound include anorexia, local irritant effects, allergic reactions including pruritus and erythema, headache, malaise, weakness, anaphylaxis, vesicant or irritant effect on skin and mucous membranes, thrombophlebitis, anemia, bleeding, immunosuppressant effect, mouth ulcers, esophagitis, abdominal pain, hemorrhage, perforation of the stomach, alopecia, delayed wound healing, amenorrhea, inhibition of spermatogenesis, gynecomastia, hyperuricemia, acute renal failure due to uric acid nephropathy, hyperphosphatemia, disturbances of electrolyte balance, pigmentation of the skin and nails, jaundice and abnormal liver function tests. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It may cause irritation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. (NTP, 1992)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if needed. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline 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 . Cover skin burns with dry sterile dressings after decontamination . Poison A and B
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
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.
Intact vials should be stored under refrigeration & are stable for a least 4 yr. Although the drug is stable for 3 yr at room temp, refrigeration is recommended because degradation may result at elevated temperatures. The constituted soln hydrolyzes at room temp & should be used within 30 min. ... Azacitidine 0.5 & 2 mg/ml in Ringer's injection, lactated, was stable for up to one month when frozen at -20 deg C in polypropylene syringes.

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.

Slightly water soluble. Unstable in solution.
Intact vials should be stored under refrigeration & are stable for a least 4 yr. Although the drug is stable for 3 yr at room temp, refrigeration is recommended because degradation may result at elevated temperatures. The constituted soln hydrolyzes at room temp & should be used within 30 min. The pH providing optimum soln stability has been reported to be about 6.5-7. Azacitidine 0.5 & 2 mg/ml in Ringer's injection, lactated, was stable for up to one month when frozen at -20 deg C in polypropylene syringes.
5-AZACYTIDINE is sensitive to light (may discolor). It is sensitive to oxidation. It is unstable in solution. It undergoes hydrolysis in aqueous buffers. This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizers. (NTP, 1992)

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.
