Fresh air, rest.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Rest.
This material is extremely toxic; the probable oral lethal dose in humans is 5-50 mg/kg, or 7 drops to 1 teaspoonful for a 150-lb. person. (EPA, 1998)

Non-Specific -- Fungicides, Poison B Solid) Avoid breathing dusts and fumes from burning material. Keep upwind. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Avoid bodily contact with the material. Wear full protective clothing. (Non-Specific -- Fungicides, Poison B Solid) Use agent suitable for surrounding fire. Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. (EPA, 1998)
When exposed to heat, it emits toxic fumes, including nitrogen oxides. (EPA, 1998)
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

In situ amelioration: Seek professional environmental engineering assistance through EPA's Environmental Response Team (ERT), Edison, NJ, 24-hour phone number (201) 321-6660. Contain and isolate spill to limit spread. Construct clay/bentonite swale to divert uncontaminated portion of the watershed around contaminated portion. Isolation procedures include construction of bentonite, polyethylene-lined dams, interceptor trenches, or impoundments. ... Conduct bench-scale and pilot-scale tests prior to decontamination program implementation. Solids must be removed in settling basins. Treatment alternatives for diluted contaminated waters include powdered activated carbon sorption, granular activated carbon filtration, and impoundment in a lined pit with leachate collection system and domed cover.
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.
Separated from food and feedstuffs. Well closed. Keep in a well-ventilated room.

Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including nitrogen oxides.
Relatively heat and acid stable; rapidly inactivated at room temp by dil alkali with formation of a volatile, fragrant ketone, 2,4-dimethylcyclohexanone
CYCLOHEXIMIDE is an imide. This chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides. It decomposes rapidly in alkali at room temperature. (NTP, 1992)

Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly.
Cycloheximide, present at 100 mg/l, reached 1% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(1).
At a concentration of 50 ug/l, cycloheximide had a BCF of <0.3 while at 5 ug/l it had a BCF of <2.8 in orange-red killi fish(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of cycloheximide is estimated as 47(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.55(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that cycloheximide is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Cycloheximide was classified as a relatively mobile compound in soil based upon a measured Rf value of 0.89 as determined by soil thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in Hagerstown silty clay loam soil(4).

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.
