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 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. Aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

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: In a freshwater sediment sample taken from Colgate Creek, Maryland, 20-26% perylene was utilized by bacteria after 28 days(1); in a marine-water sediment sample taken from Eastern Bay, Maryland, 3-10% perylene was utilized by bacteria after 28 days(1). After 1,280 days, 59.5% of an initial concentration of perylene (3.1 ug/g) remained in a soil treated with oil sludge at a concentration of 28.0 ug/g(2). Perylene was 0.02% degraded in soil after 30 days(3). Perylene, at a concentration of 0.05 ppm in the presence of 0.05 mg/L activated sludge, produced <0.1 percent carbon dioxide in 5 days(4). No biodegradation of perylene was observed within 16 months in sandy loam soil in the dark at 20 deg C(5). After 287 days of incubation, 22.0-42.1% of initial 5-7 ring PAHs (including perylene) disappeared from three non-sterilized soils(6). Bioremediation studies in field soil plots found that five and six rings PAHS, including perylene, had <10% removal after 1 year of bioremediation(7).
An estimated BCF of 6700 was calculated in fish for perylene(SRC), using a log Kow of 6.30(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC). However, perylene may not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms which contain microsomal oxidase, such as fish, as this enzyme enables the rapid metabolism of certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(4). A measured fish biotransformation half-life of 0.87 days has been reported for perylene(5). The bioaccumulation factor of perylene in golden ide fish (Leuciscus idus melanotus) was determined to be <10 after 3 days, the bioaccumulation factor of perylene in algae (Chlorella fusca) was determined to be 2,010 after 1 day, and the bioaccumulation factor of perylene in activated sludge was determined to be 22,900 after 5 days(6). Perylene was shown to bioaccumulate in worms exposed to contaminated sediment over a 4 week incubation period, reaching a max concentration of 227 ng/g(7). The bioconcentration factor for perylene in the Daphnid Pulex was determined to be 7,079(8). The half-life of perylene in rainbow trout, clams, mussels, oysters, and shrimp averaged 2, 4.3-26.2, 6.3-13.3, 9.2 and 1.2 days, respectively(9). The bioconcentration factor of perylene in polychaete worms was determined to be 16 (polychaeta dry wt/sediments dry wt) in Prionospio cirrifera/ Spiochaetpoterus costarum and 0.4 (polychaeta dry wt/sediments dry wt) in Capitella capitata(10).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of perylene can be estimated to be 6.0X10+5(SRC). The Koc of perylene in 16 historically contaminated sediments ranged from 3.4X10+5 to 3.2X10+7 with a mean of 6.9X10+6(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggest that perylene 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.
