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.
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include gastrointestinal distress, nausea, vomiting, constipation; dizziness; palpitations; drowsiness; pruritis; restlessness, excitement; vertigo; and mydrasis. Larger doses result in muscle weakness; tremors; miosis (pinpoint pupils); delirium; coma; and convulsions with possible development of central nervous system and respiratory depression which may result in death. Body temperature and blood pressure may fall. Sensitivity reactions and pulmonary edema (fitting the description of "heroin lung") have been reported. Chronic symptoms may include miosis and rapid mood changes. Excessive use may lead to physical dependence and tolerance. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits toxic fumes of NOx. (NTP, 1992)
Emergency and supportive measures: Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Administer supplemental oxygen. Treat coma, seizures, hypotension, and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema if they occur. Opiates and opioids
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Codeine monohydrate
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
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.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing dust; Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains; Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Codeine monohydrate
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.

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.

This compound is light sensitive and sensitive to prolonged exposure to air. Insoluble in water.
Stable under recommended storage conditions. Codeine monohydrate
Flammable when exposed to heat or flame.CODEINE is incompatible with bromides, iodides and salts of heavy metals. (NTP, 1992). It is an amine. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Precipitates from its aqueous solution by most alkaloidal precipitants but not by sodium, potassium or ammonium carbonate, or sodium bicarbonate. Aqueous solutions are sufficiently alkaline to precipitate other less soluble alkaloids from solutions of their salts. Ammonia may be liberated from ammonium salts.
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitrogen oxides/.

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for codeine(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.19(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of codeine can be estimated to be 700(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that codeine is expected to have low mobility in soil. The pKa of codeine is 8.21(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Sorption isotherms of 2.1 and 14.1 for codeine, present at 50 ng/mL, were measured using river sediments at pH 6.5-6.6 from the Burgen and Dausenau rivers, respectively, Switzerland. The log Koc values of 2.4 and 2.5 correspond to Koc values of 251 and 315, respectively(5).

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.
