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.

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Poisons A and B

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.

AEROBIC: Organic fluorochemical compounds, such as perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid, are expected to be resistant to biodegradation(1). A related compound, perfluorooctanoic acid, present at 100 mg/L, reached 5% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(2), indicating perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid will also not biodegrade(SRC).
An estimated BCF of 9100 was calculated in fish for perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 5.48(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(SRC). The log bioaccumulation factors (BAF) for perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid in lake trout from Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario were 3.7, 3.6, 3.8 and 3.1, respectively, the average log BAF was 3.6(4). The average Log BAF in eel (A anguilla) from 23 locations in The Netherlands was 2.52 with a range of 2.02 to 3.14(5). The steady state biota sediment accumulation factor for perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid in Lumbriculus variegatus was found to be 55(6). Bioaccumulation factors of lake trout in Lake Ontario samples were 5.3, 0.62 and 0.13 based on prey of alewife, smelt and sculpin, respectively, the diet weighted BAF was 2.3 based on all prey(7). Trophic level biomagnification factors were reported as: ringed seal:cod 1.2, beluga:cod 12.9, beluga:herring 5.8, beluga:Artic cisco 2.9, cod:Calanus hyperboreus 0.7, cod:Themisto libellula 0.3(8).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid can be estimated to be 1.2X10+5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid is expected to be immobile in soil. The pKa of perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid is -0.21(3), indicating that this compound will exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). The log Koc for perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid in three sediments was reported as 2.4(5) and 3.69 in 23 sediments(6).

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.
