Fresh air, rest.
Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth.
Produces no ill effects at normal temperatures but may give off irritating vapor at high temperature. (USCG, 1999)
In rats, dogs and miniature pigs, 50 mg/kg was administered 21-28 days before oral administration of single dose of same compound labeled with (14)C in carbonyl group. Approximately 1/2 of (14)C was excreted in rat urine and 1/2 in feces, while dogs showed 69-80% in feces, and pigs 65-86% in urine.
Water or foam may cause frothing.
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: None (USCG, 1999)
Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
Collect leaking liquid in sealable metal containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

DI-ISOOCTYL PHTHALATE reacts exothermically with acids to generate isooctyl alcohol and phthalic acid. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic 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. [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980. p. 250].

AEROBIC: Microorganisms isolated from raw sewage and sludge were capable of utilizing diisooctyl phthalate as a growth medium(1,2). Enriched microbial cultures obtained from sewage degraded 75% diisooctyl phthalate in 96 hours(2). A shake flask experiment employing an acclimated inoculum of soil, sewage and activated sludge degraded 99% of diisooctyl phthalate initially present over a 28 day incubation period(3). In a semi-continuous activated sludge test (Soap and Detergent Association procedure), the mean percentage degradation for diisooctyl phthalate was 84.5% in 24 hours(4). Diisooctyl phthalate incubated for 28 days in fresh water/sediment degraded 2, <1-10, and 4% at 12, 22, and 28 deg C, respectively(5).
A measured BCF value of 207 was reported for Mosquito fish exposed to 6.4 mg/L of diisooctyl phthalate over an unspecified exposure period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high, assuming the compound is not metabolized by the organism(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(3).
The Koc of diisooctyl phthalate is estimated as 1.6X10+4(SRC), using a water solubility of 0.09 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that diisooctyl phthalate is expected to be immobile 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.
