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.

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.
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

AEROBIC: Relevant biodegradation screening tests available for difenacoum include four ready biodegradability tests and one inherent biodegradability test(1). The four ready biodegradability tests were performed according to OECD 301B, 301D, and 301F guidelines with CO2 evolution, dissolved oxygen, and oxygen consumption as test parameters, respectively, with sludge from sewage treatment used as inoculum(1). Initial test substance concentration was between 2 and 100 mg/L in the experiments(1). Incubation period was 28 days and the degree of degradation was between 0% and 31%, which is below the ready biodegradability pass levels of 60% or 70%(1). An inherent biodegradation test was conducted according to an OECD 302D draft guideline (OECD 2001) with CO2 evolution as test parameter and adapted sewage sludge as inoculum(1); the degradation was 3% after 56 days incubation, indicating that difenacoum is not inherently biodegradable(1). An aerobic soil half-life of 439 days has been reported(2).
An estimated BCF of 6580 was calculated in fish for difenacoum(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 7.62(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of difenacoum can be estimated to be 4.8X10+6(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that difenacoum is expected to be immobile in soil. The pKa of difenacoum is 4.84(3), indicating that this compound will exist partially in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Using an HPLC approximation method (OECD 121), difenacoum was found to have a Koc value of 4.27X10+5 at pH 3-4 and a Koc range of 17-165 at pH 7-8.5(3); however, this method was considered unsuitable for difenacoum because it did not use measurements in real soil(3). It does suggest that lower adsorption may occur in neutral or alkaline soils(3). The low mobility of difenacoum in soil is supported by results of soil column leaching studies(3).

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.
