SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation to the skin and eyes. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is an allergen and local irritant. (NTP, 1992)
Emergency and supportive measures. Toxic effects of herbal medicines should be managed with the same approach taken with other ingestions. 1. Replace fluid losses caused by diarrhea or vomiting with IV crystalloid fluids. 2. Treat hypertension, tachycardia, and arrhythmias if they occur. 3. Treat anxiety, agitation, or seizures caused by stimulant herbs with IV benzodiazepines. 4. Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary in cases of CNS depression or coma related to sedative herb use. Herbal and alternative products

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.
Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
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.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature: -20 deg C Keep in a dry place.

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.

PURE CULTURE: 14C-Labeled curcumin, present at 1 mg/10 uL of N,N-dimethylformamide, was 75% biodegraded via ring cleavage of the catechol moiety when incubated for 3 days with a mutant strain of Phanerochaete chrysospporium, a white-rot fungi(1).
An estimated BCF of 68 was calculated in fish for curcumin(SRC), using an estimated/ log Kow of 3.29(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of curcumin can be estimated to be 3400(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that curcumin is expected to have slight mobility in soil.

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.
