Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.
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.

This material is toxic by ingestion and inhalation. It produces disturbances of the respiration and circulation, irritation of the stomach and intestine, and loss of weight. It is irritating to skin and eyes. (EPA, 1998)
A person who has inhaled the vapors should be moved to an uncontaminated environment, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be administered. If the victim breathes with difficulty, oxygen should be given. In case of eye contact, flush with copious water for at least 20 min and call a physician. In case of ingestion, induce vomiting and call a physician. For skin contact, wash with plenty of soap and water.
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products.
Combustion products may contain hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid, HCN). Vapor may explode if ignited in an enclosed area. When heated to decomposition, it emits highly toxic fumes. Avoid oxidizing material. Hazardous polymerization may not occur. (EPA, 1998)
Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Stop or control the leak, if this can be done without undue risk. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors, and protect personnel. Approach release from upwind. Absorb in noncombustible material for proper disposal.
NO open flames. 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 strong oxidants, strong acids and food and feedstuffs. Ventilation along the floor.Separate from strong acids and oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Outside or detached storage is preferred.

CLASSIFICATION: D; not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. BASIS FOR CLASSIFICATION: No human and no animal cancer data were available. Adiponitrile was negative for mutagenicity in Salmonella with and without activation. HUMAN CARCINOGENICITY DATA: None. ANIMAL CARCINOGENICITY DATA: None.

The substance is irritating to the eyes and skin. Exposure could cause convulsions, unconsciousness and death. Medical observation is indicated.
The substance may have effects on the blood and adrenals. This may result in anaemia and tissue lesions.
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
AEROBIC: Adiponitrile had a 5-day theoretical BOD of 40% in a river die-away study using unacclimated Ohio River water, 0.5-10 mg/l substrate concn and sewage inocula(1); a 12-day theoretical BOD was >100%(1); negligible degradation was observed after 2 days(1). At a substrate concn of 40 mg/l and 20 deg C, adiponitrile had theoretical CO2 evolutions of 10 and 60% after 2 and 9 days, respectively, in river die-away studies using unacclimated Ohio River water and sewage inocula(1); at 5 deg C, theoretical CO2 evolution was 10 and 60% after 7.5 and 33 days, respectively(1). At 20 deg C, effects of acclimation were examined by redosing at an initial substrate concn of 40 mg/l; the ratio of time it took to achieve 60% oxidation on 1st and 2nd feeding was 2.1 to 1(1). Adiponitrile was found to be toxic to one activated sludge unit after 72 hrs with a metal substrate concn of 500 mg/l; the other two sludge units had 2.2-2.8% theoretical BOD(2). Using a bench scale activated sludge unit, 93-98% BOD removal of adiponitrile was achieved using an influent concn equivalent to 275-350 mg/l BOD and a mean aeration retention time of 7-13 hours(3). Adiponitrile, present at 30 mg/l, reached 85% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 100 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(4). Microorganisms (Aeromonas sp.) isolated from soil were able to use adiponitrile as their sole source of carbon(5).
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for adiponitrile(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.32(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 adiponitrile is estimated as 16(SRC), using a measured log Kow of -0.32(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that adiponitrile is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).

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.
