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
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

AEROBIC: Biodegradation is the ultimate fate of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) released to wastewater treatment and the environment(1). Reported biodegradation measurements of QACs have varied from 0-100%, but some reported values may not distinguish between actual biodegradation, sorption and complexation mechanisms(1). One reported MITI test determined tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride degradation to be 83% after 10 days(2), but the same source reported only 0-5% degradation for the similar hexadecyl- and octadecyl-dimethylammonium chlorides(2). A decyl-, dodecyl- and tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride mixture, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(3). Greater than 70% removal of 20 mg/L tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride was observed using a continuous-flow activated sludge system in a wastewater treatment plant(1). Acclimation may be a major factor that influences biodegradation of QACs(1).
BCF ranges of <0.2-5.9 at 0.5 mg/L and <1.8-8.6 at 0.05 mg/L were measured in fish for a decyl-, dodecyl- and tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride mixture(1) using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF ranges suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride can be estimated to be 9X10+5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride 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.
