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
You should extinguish fires involving this chemical with a dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide or halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
This compound is nonflammable. (NTP, 1992)
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.

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 the Japanese MITI test, 2,2',6,6'-Tetrabromobisphenol A, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 14 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L(1). Half-lives ranging from 48 to 84 days were measured for 2,2',6,6'-tetrabromobisphenol A in a natural river sediment/water study(2). Less than 8% of the applied radioactivity was recovered as CO2 during this study(2). After 56 days, 44.7%, 64.2% and 60.8% of 2,2',6,6'-tetrabromobisphenol A remained for initial concentrations of 10, 100, and 1000 ug/L, respectively(2).
BCF ranges of 30 to 341 and 52 to 485 were measured for 2,2',6,6'-tetrabromobisphenol A in carp (Cyprinus carpio) during an 8-week study at concentrations of 80 ug/L and 8 ug/L, respectively(1). A BCF value of 307 was measured in fathead minnow (Pimepahles promelas)(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate to high.
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 2,2',6,6'-tetrabromobisphenol A can be estimated to be 2.7X10+5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,2',6,6'-tetrabromobisphenol A is expected to be immobile in soil. The pKa of 2,2',6,6'-tetrabromobisphenol A is 7.5(3), indicating that this compound will exist partially 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 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.
