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.

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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the 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. Poisons A and B
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.

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.
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
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.
Do not store unpouched. Apply immediately upon removal from the protective pouch.

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.

Evaluation: There is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of post-menopausal estrogen therapy. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of estradiol and estrone. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of conjugated equine estrogens, equilin and estriol. There is inadequate evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of d-equilenin. Overall evaluation: Post-menopausal estrogen therapy is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).

AEROBIC: 4-14C-Labeled estradiol, present at 1.5 mg/L, was 6% mineralized in 5 days after application to a microcosm employing 210 g of agricultural soil(Hamar soil: 2.23% organic mater, 14.0% clay, 19.0% silt, 67% sand) in 250 mL flasks(1). 17beta-Estradiol is 85-90% removed by conventional wastewater treatment, occurring mainly through sorption to sludge followed by biodegradation. Conjugated estrogens are hydrolyzed into free estrogens and glucuronide/sulfuric acid in the presence of Eschericia coli(2). Mineralization of estrogens may be enhanced by up to 147% or depressed up to 50%, depending on soil and organic waste(3).
An estimated BCF of 200 was calculated in fish for estradiol(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.01(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). An estimated log BCF of 2.65 was calculated in fish for estradiol using a food-web model(3), corresponding to a BCF of 450(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
Using a Drummer soil from Indiana (pH 7.1, 2.91% organic carbon, 21% clay, 13% sand, 66% silt), a log Koc of 3.45 (Freundlich constant Kd 83.2) was measured(1), corresponding to a Koc of 3,000(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that estradiol is expected to be immobile in soil. Kd values of 476 have been reported for estradiol in activated sludge wastewater treatment systems; it was estimated that as much as 66% of estradiol is absorbed to sludge and 0.24% sorbed to suspended particles during waste water treatment(3). Estradiol sorption was shown to increase with the amount of incorporated organic waste. In soils with an extensive history of organic waste treatments, soil organic carbon content is the controlling factor for estrogen sorption(4).

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.
