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.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Both compounds /SAN-6706 and norflurazon/ were readily absorbed from nutrient solution by cotton (Gossypium hirsutum Leguminatae "Coker 203"), corn (Zea mays Leguminatae "WF9") and soybean (Glycine max (Leguminatae) Merr. "Lee") plants. In corn and soybean plants, these compounds were translocated more rapidly and in greater amount than in cotton.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot. For UN3508, be aware of possible short circuiting as this product is transported in a charged state. (ERG, 2016)
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.
For minor spills, leaks, etc., follow all precautions indicated on the label and clean up immediately. Take special care to avoid contamination of equipment and facilities during cleanup procedures and disposal of wastes... /Norflurazon Technical/[EPA/OPPTS; Pesticide Product Label System (PPLS) - Search Results for Norflurazon Technical Product Label. 5 p.

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: Norflurazon degrades slowly in aerobic soil, with a reported half-life of 130 days(1). The biodegradation half-life under aquatic conditions is 6-8 months(1). It has been found that biodegradation in soil is influenced by environmental conditions, with the rate increasing with increasing depth (5 cm, half-life 100 days; 80 cm, half-life 260 days), increasing with increasing pH (pH 5.25, half-life 105 days; pH 7.0, half-life 225 days), and decreasing with increasing soil organic matter (0.75% OM, half-life 210 days; 2.20% OM, half-life 75 days)(2). The soil types used in this study were a Lexington silt loam (Tennessee), a Beulah silt loam (Mississippi), and a Dothan loamy sand (Georgia)(2).
An estimated BCF of 12 was calculated in fish for norflurazon(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.30(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of norflurazon is estimated as 420(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.30(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that norflurazon is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Binding does appear to be influenced by organic matter, clay content and cation exchange capacity(4). Koc values of 3,311(5) and 1,914(6) have been reported for norflurazon although it is generally observed that norflurazon is expected to be mobile to highly mobile in soil(7).

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.
