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.

Skin decontamination. Skin contamination should be treated promptly by washing with soap and water. Contamination of the eyes should be treated immediately by prolonged flushing of the eyes with large amounts of clean water. If dermal or ocular irritation persists, medical attention should be obtained without delay ... Other herbicides

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.
If a spill occurs, clean it up promptly. Don't wash it away. Instead, sprinkle the spill with sawdust, vermiculite, or kitty litter. Sweep it into a plastic garbage bag, and dispose of it as directed on the pesticide product label.
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.
Stable under normal storage conditions for at least 2 years.

AEROBIC: Greenhouse soil degradation studies in both silt loam and sandy loam soil showed a half-life for primary degradation of <4 mo(1). Laboratory studies using C-14 labeled hexazinone with these soils showed that after an initial lag period of 10-20 days, the rate of CO2 evolution increased rapidly with 45-75% of the applied radioactivity being evolved as CO2 during the 80 day incubation period(1). The degradation of hexazinone in Taloka and Mountainberg soils incubated in the dark at 30 deg C and 10 deg C followed first order kinetics(2). The respective half-lives were 77 and 76 days at 30 deg C and 502 and 426 days at 10 deg C(2). In contrast, when incubated in stream water, no significant degradation occurred at 10 deg C; the hexazinone concn decreased about 2.2% in 200 days at 30 deg C, indicating a half-life of many years(2).
The BCF in bluegill sunfish exposed to 0.01 and 1.0 ppm C14-radiolabeled hexazinone for 4 weeks was 2 and 1, respectively. Residue levels plateaued after 1-2 weeks of exposure. Maximum BCF were 2, 3-5, and 5-7 in the carcass, liver, and viscera, respectively(1). The hexazinone levels in the fish declined by over 90% after a 1 week depuration period and no residues were detected after 2 weeks(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
A soil column leaching study used (14)C-hexazinone, half of which was aged for 30 days and applied to Flanagan silt loam and Fallsington sandy loam. Leaching with a total of 20 inches of water showed unaged hexazinone leached in the soils; however, leaching rates were slower for the aged samples, indicating that the degradation products may have less potential for contaminating ground water.

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.
