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 include changes in central nervous system electrical function and optic nerve damage. Other symptoms include abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, paresthesias in the legs (possibly progressing to paraplegia), loss of visual acuity (sometimes leading to irreversible blindness), characteristic green pigmentation of the tongue, feces and urine, sensory disturbances and subacute myelo-optic neuropathy. Irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract may occur. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may be harmful by ingestion or inhalation. It is an irritant of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride gas and hydrogen iodide. (NTP, 1992)
Emesis induction is indicated after adult ingestion of 1,500 to 1,800 mg of clioquinol if there is no coma, convulsions, or loss of gag reflex. Otherwise, gastric lavage with tracheal protection, activated charcoal, and cathartics. There are no data on the use of forced diuresis, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, hemoperfusion, or exchange transfusion in the treatment of halogenated 8-hydroxyquinoline poisonings. There are no antidotes.
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably 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.
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.
Clioquinol cream should be stored in collapsible tubes or in tight, light-resistant containers. Topical preparations containing clioquinol should be stored at a temperature less than 30 deg C; freezing should be avoided.

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.

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.
