Excerpt from ERG Guide 151 [Substances - Toxic (Non-combustible)]: Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
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
If material on fire or involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 151 [Substances - Toxic (Non-combustible)]: Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. (ERG, 2016)
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.
Environmental considerations: Land spill: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material. /SRP: If time permits, pits, ponds, lagoons, soak holes, or holding areas should be sealed with an impermeable flexible membrane liner./ Cover solids with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or fire fighting water.
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.
Handle carefully ... Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Store at temperature above 3 deg F. If allowed to freeze, remix before using. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal of this chemical.

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.

14C-Labeled bromoxynil octanoate was reported to degrade in sandy loam soil with a half-life of 2 days; the major degradation product was CO2, which accounted for 64.28% of the applied radioactivity after 90 days(1). In soil photolysis experiments, bromoxylnil octanoate was found to degrade with a half-life of 2.6 days when irradiated with a xenon arc lamp; a degradation half-life of 3.6 days was observed in a dark control(1). Degradation in the dark control suggests that degradation processes in addition to photolysis (e.g., hydrolysis or microbial degradation) were occurring(1). A half-life of <12 hrs was reported when treated sandy loam soil was flooded with pond water and then aerobically incubated; test compound concn was 87% of applied at time zero, declining to undetectable levels in 48 hrs(1). Field dissipation half-lives ranging from 0.5 to 28 days have been reported(2). In degradation experiments using 5 soil types (sandy loam, acid sand, organic silt, sandy loam, and clay) in a soil perfusion apparatus and C14 (cyano) bromoxynil octanoate half-lives ranged from 7 to 22 days(3). In experiments using C14 (ring) bromoxynil octanoate half-live ranged from 10-12 days in clay and sandy loam soils(3). The degradation of bromoxynil octanoate in two soils, a heavy clay and a sandy loam, at 85% of field capacity moisture and at 20 deg C, was studied(4). In both soils bromoxynil octanoate was rapidly degraded to bromoxynil, which was then also rapidly degraded; after 7 days >90% of the original application had disappeared(4). Three pesticides, including bromoxynil octanoate, were applied to two field plots in Saskatchewan; after 10 weeks none of the pesticides could be detected in the top 10 cm of soil(4). Bromoxynil octanoate was reported to degrade with a half-life of 3.7 days in a sandy loam sediment under anaerobic conditions(1). The environmental fate of bromoxynil octanoate was investigated in small ponds in the wetland area of the Delta Waterfowl and Wetlands Research Station in Canada(5). Bromoxynil octanoate, along with bromoxynil butyrate were sprayed on the ponds; sampling showed that bromoxynil octanoate persisted in the surface microlayer (0-1 mm) with half-lives of 0.8-2.5 hours(5). In subsurface waters (10-20 cm depth) the major forms of the pesticides were bromoxynil (phenol) and its monobromo analog(5).
A BCF of 230 (whole fish) was reported in bluegill sunfish when continuously exposed to 14C radiolabeled bromoxynil octanoate at 1.3-4.6 ug/L(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high, provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
The Koc of bromoxynil octanoate is estimated as 21,000(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.4(1)and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that bromoxynil ocatonate is expected to be immobile mobility in soil. In an aged soil leaching study, bromoxynil octanoate residues were found to not be mobile in four soils and aquatic sediment(4). A Kd of 7 mL/g (Koc = 1,003) was reported in soils with 1.2% organic matter(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.
