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.

The systemic exposure to 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexa-methylcyclopenta-gamma-2-benzopyran (HHCB) was determined ... in humans under simulated conditions of exposure. Ring 14C-labeled HHCB was applied in alcoholic solutions without occlusion to three male volunteers at concentrations approximating that which might be encountered in a typical cologne type product. After a 6-hr period, all material was removed from the surface of the skin. Blood, feces and urine were collected over a 5-day period. For both materials, levels in blood and plasma were below limits of detection at all times. Based on excretion, primarily in the urine, the total absorbed dose was approximately 0.1% for HHCB. However, over the 5-day period, 19.5% of HHCB was recovered from the skin in dressings over the site of application indicating that a 'reservoir' had formed in the skin but the material in the reservoir was lost, by desquamation and/or by reverse absorption, and not available systemically. A mean of 22% was shown to evaporate under the conditions of exposure.
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.
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

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.

AEROBIC: Galaxolide, present at 10 and 20 mg/L, released 0% CO2 in four weeks using a sewage inoculum at 1 drop/L and the Modified Sturm test(1). Galaxolide, present at 10.97 mg C/L, released 0% CO2 in four weeks using an effluent from a semi-continuous activated sludge (SCAS) test after 8 weeks acclimation and the OECD 302 test(1). C14-labeled galaxolide was added at 25 ug/L to freshly collected activated sludge resulting in 18% 14-CO2 recovered after 200 days; products identified were galaxolide-lactone and a galaxolide-hydroxy acid(1). Using sludge amended farm, forest, and agricultural soils sampled from New Jersey, and river sediment from the Deleware River, it was concluded that galaxolide half-life in soil is approximately 4 months(1). Therefore this compound is not expected to biodegrade rapidly(SRC).
For the soil compartment, 8-week studies with earthworms (Eisenia fetida) resulted in a NOEC of 45 mg/kg for HHCB and 4-week studies with springtails (Folsomia candida) resulted in a NOEC of 45 mg/kg ... These values lead to a PNEC of 0.32 mg/kg bw ... Using mammalian studies, PNECs for fish or worm eating predators of 100 mg/kg bw HHCB can be derived. For sediment dwelling organisms, PNECs were derived by equilibrium partitioning using the aquatic PNECs. Comparing PNECs with the measured or predicted environmental exposures leads to risk characterization ratios as follows: ... soil organisms: HHCB 0.10; fish eating predators: HHCB 0.001; worm eating predators: HHCB 0.001.
The Koc of galaxolide is estimated as 38,600(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.90(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that galaxolide is expected to be immobile in soil. In soil column experiments, galaxolide was added at 0.330 ug/L to a 2.4 m soil column employing a Mohall-Laveen sandy loam soil from northwest of Pheonix, AZ(4); after percolating through the soil column over 23 days, the concentration in the column effluent was below the detection limit of 0.500 ug/L(5). Galaxolide has been found in association with suspended particulate matter collected from the Elbe River at Magdeburg, Germany during June 1996-May 1997(5). A log Koc of 4.86 has also been reported(1).

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.
