Chlorophacinone is highly toxic orally and by skin absorption. The probable oral lethal dose for humans is less than 5 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg, or between a taste (less than 7 drops) and 1 teaspoonful for a 150 lb. (70 kg) person. (EPA, 1998)
Human exposure to second-generation and indandione anticoagulants produces symptoms consistent with anticoagulation effects (e.g., hematomas, hematemesis, hematuria, easy bruisability). Treatment of cases of exposure, particularly of substantial and repeated exposure, may require vitamin K1 therapy and monitoring of prothrombin times for periods of many months.
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting, if necessary.
Non-Specific -- Coumarin Derivative Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) Fire may produce irriating or poisonous gases. Runoff from fire control water may give off poisonous gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. When heated it emits toxic fumes of chlorides. (EPA, 1998)
Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.

AEROBIC: Using OECD 301F (manometric respirometry test) with an activated sewage sludge inoculum, no biodegradation of chlorophacinone was observed after an incubation period of 28 days classifying the compound as not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test(1). Chlorophacinone was found to be moderately degradable in a sandy loam soil under aerobic conditions with a half-life of 21-25 days(2). In laboratory tests conducted at 25 deg C under dark aerobic conditions using a sandy clay loam soil and a sandy loam soil, chlorophacinone had half-lives of 47.3 and 17.1 days respectively(1); extrapolation of the 47.3 day half-life to 12 deg C (to reflect an average European Union outdoor temperature) yields an estimated half-life of 128 days(1); degradation of the chlorophacinone resulted predominantly in the formation of carbon dioxide(1).
An estimated BCF range of 5-13 was calculated in fish for chlorophacinone(SRC), using a measured log Kow range of 2.40-3.08(1) over a pH range of 4-9 and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF range suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Koc values ranging from 15,600 to 136,000 were determined for chlorophacinone in four types of soils (clay, sand, sandy clay loam and loam)(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc range suggests that chlorophancinone is expected to be immobile in soil. The pKa of chlorophacinone is 3.40(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).

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.
