Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Wear protective gloves when administering first aid.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Refer for medical attention .
Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Sensitization dermatitis, itch, erythema (skin redness); edema on nasal folds, cheeks, neck; keratitis (inflammation of the cornea); sneezing; anemia; cough, coryza; irritability; malaise (vague feeling of discomfort), headache, lassitude (weakness, exhaustion), insomnia; nausea, vomiting; liver, kidney damage Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, liver, kidneys (NIOSH, 2016)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 mL/kg up to 200 mL of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Naphthalene and Related Compounds
Evacuation: If the material is on fire or involved in fire consider evacuation of one mile radius.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives* - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]: MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 METERS (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO. For information on "Compatibility Group" letters, refer to Glossary section. (ERG, 2016)
Do not attempt to extinguish large fire, evacuate area. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance.
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: P3 filter respirator for toxic particles.
If tetryl is spilled, the following steps should be taken: 1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill. 3. Attempt to reclaim spilled material; however, do not sweep or burn unless this is supervised by explosives experts.
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with hot surfaces. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Do NOT expose to friction or shock. Prevent deposition of dust. 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.
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Keep in the dark. Keep in a separate building protected from shock.Keep solution in the dark.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.
Protective clothing.
Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Tetryl is a yellow crystalline solid high explosive. Toxic by ingestion and skin absorption. A skin irritant. Will explode if heated above 370°F. Used as a detonating explosive. The primary hazard is the blast of an instantaneous explosion and not flying projectiles and fragments.

May decompose explosively on shock, friction or concussion. Decomposes explosively on heating to 187°C. Reacts with some oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Is highly stable losing virtually no weight on prolonged storage at 80 deg C.
Dangerous fire ... explosion riskDust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.During the measurement of the shock sensitivity of a mixture containing hydrazine, a drop of the hydrazine mixture fell on a tetryl explosive. The tetryl immediately burst into flames (ASESB 105).

Contact of tetryl with some oxidizable materials may cause fires & explosions.
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitrogen oxide/.

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause asthma. The substance may have effects on the liver, kidneys and blood.
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.
Data from composting experiments suggest that biodegradation of tetryl may occur under some conditions(1). When tetryl-contaminated sediment was added to hay-horse feed or sewage sludge-wood chip compost, 90% of the tetryl was removed after 44 days(1). A first-order half-life of 1.2 weeks was calculated for tetryl in a manure-hay-sawdust compost(1). Tetryl was completely biodegraded in a laboratory reactor using a soil slurry amended with molasses over a 3 month operation period(2). Metabolites identified included trinitro-N-methylaniline, trinitrobenzeneamine, dinitrobenzenediamine, nitroaniline and aniline(2). In previous experiments using anoxic conditions and in the absence of co-substrates such as molasses, tetryl and trinitrotoluene (TNT) were not degraded(2).
An estimated BCF of 4 was calculated for tetryl(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 1.64(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).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for tetryl can be estimated to be 2,100(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that tetryl is expected to have slight mobility in soil(SRC). It was demonstrated that nitroaromatic compounds (including tetryl) adsorb strongly to clay minerals in aqueous suspensions, particularly when exchangeable cations in the clays include ammonium and potassium(3).

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.
