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.

Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Treat eye exposures by irrigating exposed eyes with copious amounts of clean water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, prior to irrigation. If irritation persists after irrigation, send patient to a healthcare facility for further medical attention.
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.

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.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
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.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

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: Methoprene showed an initial aerobic biodegradation half-life of approximately 10 days at a surface treatment rate of 1 kg/ha in both sandy and silty loam soils(1). The biodegradation half-life in pond water was about 30 hrs at 0.001 ppm and 40 hrs at 0.01 ppm(2). At 0.42 ppm in pond water for 3 days, three primary metabolites were produced: hydroxy-ester; methoxy-acid; hydroxy-acid(2). After 13 days incubation in pond water, the single major metabolite produced was identified as 7-methoxycitronellic acid(2). Degradation is somewhat less rapid under sterile conditions than under nonsterile conditions indicating that, although photolysis may be the main degradation route, microbial metabolism contributes to methoprene degradation(3). Methoprene degradation occurs at approximately the same rate in both freshwater and saltwater maintained in the dark(3). Degradation proceeds more rapidly at 20 deg C than at 4.5 deg C, with associated half-lives of 10-35 days and >35 days, respectively(3). The major microbial product is 7-methoxy-3,7-dimethyloctanoic acid (methoxycitronellic acid)(3).
An estimated BCF of 2000 was calculated in fish for methoprene(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.5(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high, provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC). Uncharacterized methoprene residues accumulated in edible tissues of bluegill sunfish and crayfish at maximum bioconcentration factors of 457 and 75, respectively(4).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of methoprene can be estimated to be 5300(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that methoprene 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.
