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.

Skin decontamination. Skin contamination should be treated promptly by washing with soap and water. Contamination of the eyes should be treated immediately by prolonged flushing of the eyes with large amounts of clean water. If dermal or ocular irritation persists, medical attention should be obtained without delay. Other herbicides
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.

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.
If a spill occurs, clean it up promptly. Don't wash it away. Instead, sprinkle the spill with sawdust, vermiculite, or kitty litter. Sweep it into a plastic garbage bag, and dispose of it as directed on the pesticide product label.
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.
Safe Storage of Pesticides. Always store pesticides in their original containers, complete with labels that list ingredients, directions for use, and first aid steps in case of accidental poisoning. Never store pesticides in cabinets with or near food, animal feed, or medical supplies. Do not store pesticides in places where flooding is possible or in places where they might spill or leak into wells, drains, ground water, or surface water.

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: Butralin is degraded by soil microflora such as Paecilomyces sp; the major biodegradation product is 4-tert butyl 2,6 dinitroanaline(1). 14C-labeled butralin, applied at a concentration of 10 ppm to Chillum silt loam soil incubated at 70% field moisture capacity, was 57% degraded after 6 months; 98% applied 14C was recovered after 2 months(2). Under greenhouse conditions, butralin exhibited half-lives ranging from 21-52 days, with a mean half-life of 40 days(3). Using a Sharkey clay (4% sand, 25% silt, 71% clay, 4.2% organic matter) and Bosket clay loam (20% sand, 60% silt, 20% clay, 1.5% organic matter) soils in greenhouse experiments, butralin, applied at 8 umole/kg to 2,000 g soil, exhibited half-lives of 52 and 29 days, respectively(3).
An estimated BCF of 1248 was calculated for butralin(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.93(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
The Koc of butralin has been reported as 3,400(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that butralin is expected to have slight mobility in soil. Butralin was strongly adsorbed by organic matter, as shown by 77, 82, and 78% adsorption of addition of 2.5, 5.0, and 10X10-6 M concentrations, respectively(3). The same concentrations added to montmorillonite resulted in 21, 13, and 9% adsorption, respectively(3). Subsequent desorption studies showed very little desorption from organic matter by either water or 1 N CaCl solution, results being 13.2 and 11.1%, respectively; 91.7 and 68.4% desorption, respectively, was desorbed from montmorillonite(3). Metapeake loam, treated 7 months earlier with 10 ppm butralin, contained 27% nonextractable radioactivity(1).

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.
