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.

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
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.
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.
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

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: Decarboxylation and N-acylation has been identified as cleavage reaction pathways for bifenox in soil(1). Biodegradation of bifenox has been shown to be limited to simple transformations such as the reduction of the nitro group with the most prominent metabolites being the corresponding anthranilic acid and nitrofen(2). Also observed when using C14-labelled compound, >60% of applied bifenox was found bound to the soil after 300 days(2). Bifenox exhibited a half-life of 3 to 7 days following preemergence application to a greenhouse soil; metabolites identified included 5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid, nitrofen, and 5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) anthranilic acid over a 313-day period with an increase in the proportion of bound material(3). In non-flooded paddy soils, bifenox was degraded rapidly with a half-life of 6 days; the free acid was the main degradation product(4).
An estimated BCF of 560 was calculated for bifenox(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.48(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). However, hydrolysis may attenuate this process(4). Radiolabeled bifenox, introduced to a model 33-day rice paddy ecosystem sand at a 1.29 kg/ha dosage, exhibited a comparatively low ecological magnification value of 49 in mosquito fish (Gambusia) as compared with the other rice paddy herbicides examined in this study, for example 1,546 for nitrofen and 867 formethoxy-nitrofen(4).
Kocs for bifenox have been reported ranging from 2,658 to 3,107(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that bifenox is expected to have slight to no mobility in soil. The sorption kinetics for bifenox were characterized by immediate rapid sorption with 30-70% of the added chemical adsorbed within the first 4 hrs, followed by a slow sorption over a longer time period(3). Slight desorption (10%) was noted after 24 hrs(3). In runoff experiments, it was shown that poorly soluble compounds like bifenox are only removed from fields as a result of heavy, erosive rainfalls on areas with a slope >10%; concn in soil before irrigation was 0.78 mg/kg in the 0-5 cm layer, after irrigation concns were in 0.77, 0.01, and 0.01 mg/kg at soil depths of 0-5, 5-10, and 10-15 cm, respectively(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.
