Excerpt from ERG Guide 131 [Flammable Liquids - Toxic]: TOXIC; may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with some of these materials will irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Poisoning by aldrin usually involves convulsions due to its effects on the central nervous system. Reproductive effects and liver effects have also been reported. It is classified as an extremely toxic chemical. Probable oral lethal dose for humans is between 7 drops and one oz. for a 150 lb. adult human. Conflicting reports of carcinogenicity of this compound remain an area of controversy. Similar chemically and toxicologically to dieldrin. (EPA, 1998)
It is classified as extremely toxic. Probable oral lethal dose for humans is 5-50 mg/kg or between 7 drops and 1 teaspoonful for a 70 kg (150 lb.) person. It causes renal damage and hyperactivity of sympathetic nervous system. (EPA, 1998)
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Oils should not be used as either cathartics or dermal cleansing agents, as they increase absorption. Gastric lavage and use of activated charcoal and sodium sulfate are indicated for ingestion. If dermal exposure occurred, contaminated clothes should be removed, and the skin should be thoroughly cleansed with soap and water. Management of seizures in both children and adults is with Valium or phenobarbital. Respiratory depression and even respiratory arrest especially with concomitant use of Valium and phenobarbital in children, may occur. These drugs preferably should be used only in critical care areas where emergency endotracheal intubation can be performed. ... Epinephrine can not be utilized in patients with organochlorine posioning, as the organochlorines induce myocardial irritability and ventricular arrhythmias may occur. However, dopamine may be necessary in the event of hypotension unresponsive to fluid administration, and epinephrin may be necessary in the event of cardiopulmonary arrest. ... In a critically ill patient with unknown insecticide exposure, a trial of atropine and pralidoxime should not be withheld until the etiologic agent is discovered, for the use of these agents may prove life-saving in organophosphate poisoning. Atropine must be used with caution, as it can cause ventricular irritability, especially when a mycardial irritant such as an organochlorine is present. ... Hematologic, hepatic (especially with endrin, which is markedly hepatotoxic), and renal studies as well as cardiopulmonary monitoring should be carried out in acute intoxication from lindane or other organochlorines for at least 48 to 72 hr. Long term hematologic follow-up is necessary for the patient with lindane intoxication. As the carrier for these agents may be xylene or a petroleum distillate, management also must include observation and treatment for these entities. Organochlorine pesticides

Excerpt from ERG Guide 131 [Flammable Liquids - Toxic]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG, 2016)
When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of chlorine containing compounds. Commercial solutions may contain flammable or combustible liquids. The dry powder will not burn. Container may explode in heat of fire. Avoid concentrated mineral acids, acid catalysts, acid oxidizing agents, phenols, or active metals. (EPA, 1998)
Non-Specific -- Aldrin) This material may burn but may not ignite readily. Container may explode in heat of fire. Fire and runoff from fire control water may produce irritating or poisonous gases. Material is related to aldrin. (Non-Specific -- Aldrin) When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of chlorine. Unstable, reactions induced by light or acid. (EPA, 1998)
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.
Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.
A process for removing pollutants from du pont's chambers works plant in deepwater, nj is described. process calls for treatment of wastes from org chem mfr processes by neutralization & settling, followed by a combined powdered carbon-biological process.
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.
Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs and incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Well closed. Keep in a well-ventilated room. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.Protect containers against physical damage. Store in well-ventilated, cool, dark place separated from sources of ignition. Outdoor or detached storage is preferred.

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.

Ability of fungi isolated from soils to degrade (14)c aldrin & its metabolites was assayed in culture growth medium. penicillium metabolized parent cmpd or one of its metabolites. field studies performed with soils packed into pvc tubes showed that added (14)c aldrin leached fastest in soil poor in organic matter.
Susceptible mosquitofish, gambusia affinis, experienced greater accum of aldrin in tissues than resistant mosquitofish. probable causes for resistance in decr orders of importance: implied site insensitivity; barriers to penetration; & biotransformation.
According to a classification scheme(1), a range of Koc values of 400-28,000(2), suggests that aldrin is expected to be moderately mobile to immobile in soil(SRC).

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.
