Fresh air, rest.
Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Rinse mouth.
Vapors from very hot material may irritate eyes and produce headache, drowsiness, and convulsions. (USCG, 1999)
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 as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on 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. Esters and related compounds

CombustibleDI-ISOBUTYL PHTHALATE reacts with acids to liberate heat along with isobutyl alcohol and phthalic acid. May react sufficiently exothermically with strong oxidizing acids to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. Can generate electrostatic charges in handling [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980. p. 250].

Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
AEROBIC: Diisobutyl phthalate was completely biodegraded during 6 day die-away tests using water from an urban river and polluted seawater(1). In seawater, diisobutyl phthalate was degraded 15 and 35% after 7 and 14 days, respectively(1). Diisobutyl phthalate had a reported first-order biodegradation constant rate of 0.8/day with a half-life of 0.87 days in a river die-away test shaken at 25 deg C(2). A removal efficiency of 65% was reported following analysis of the Kalby wastewater treatment plant in Lund, Sweden on October 21, 2002; influent and effluent concentrations were 0.04 and 0.01 ug/L, respectively(3). Diisobutyl phthalate reached 98% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum in the Japanese MITI test(4).
An estimated BCF of 240 was calculated in fish for diisobutyl phthalate(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.11(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). However, bioconcentration studies on compounds which are structurally similar suggest that bioconcentration may be lower than that indicated by the regression-derived equations due to the ability of aquatic organisms to readily metabolize this class of compounds(4).
A measured log Koc value of 3.14 (Koc 1,380) has been reported for diisobutyl phthalate in soil(1-2) and a measured Koc of 1,020 has been reported in suspended solids(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that diisobutyl phthalate is expected to have low mobility in soil. A log Koc value of 5.90 was measured in suspended sediment-seawater samples collected from False Creek Harbor, Van Couver, British Columbia, Canada(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.
