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.

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Poisons A and B

AEROBIC: Gentian violet had measurable transformation rates (0.002 to 0.012/hour) in 42 batch culture die-away tests using water samples obtained from four North Georgia sites: a river, two sites in a large lake (Clark's Bridge and Balus Creek Park), and a eutrophic pond(1); these transformation rates correspond to a half-life range of 2.4 to 14.4 days(SRC). A review article(1) examining the biodegradation of triphenylmethane dyes concluded that different types of organisms (such as bacteria, actinomycetes, yeast and fungi) are capable of decolorizing and degrading gentian violet; however, available reports are based on small-scale studies with no large-scale data available(2).
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for gentian violet(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.51(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).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of gentian violet can be estimated to be 6.1X10+5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that gentian violet is expected to be immobile. Gentian violet is a cationic dye(3). The estimated pKa of gentian violet is 8.64(4), 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(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.
