Fresh air, rest.
Remove contaminated clothes. 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. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
Liquid causes mild irritation of eyes and may cause allergenic responses on repeated contact with skin. Ingestion causes nausea. (USCG, 1999)

To fight fire, use foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable metal containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

COMBUSTIBLE WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAME; CAN REACT WITH OXIDIZING MATERIALS.Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as DODECYLBENZENE, and strong oxidizing agents. They can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Various pure cultures of bacteria were shown to degrade dodecylbenzene(1,2). An activated sludge compound was shown to oxidize dodecylbenzene during a 180 hour incubation period(3). River die-away tests have shown linear alkylbenzenes are readily biodegradable, with half-lives of 4.8 and 10.1 days for C-12 isomers in river water(4).
An estimated BCF of 38 was calculated for dodecylbenzene(SRC), using a log Kow of 8.26(1), and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate. The BCF value of bluegill sunfish exposed to dodecylbenzene in a flow-through aquarium was 35(4).
The Koc of dodecylbenzene is estimated as 7.4X10+5(SRC), using a log Kow of 8.26(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that dodecylbenzene 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.
