First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms develop such as difficulty breathing, chest tightness, or persistent cough.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation or redness occurs and persists, see a physician.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes cautiously with water for at least fifteen minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Obtain medical attention if irritation continues.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water and seek medical help promptly, reporting the nature of the compound for proper treatment.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam. Avoid straight water streams as the chemical may spread.
Specific Hazards: During fire, toxic fumes such as hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, and possibly carbon monoxide may develop.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters require positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and complete protective suit.
Special Procedures: Cool containers exposed to fire with water mist to minimize the risk of rupture. Prevent run-off from entering water systems or sewers.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid inhalation of dusts, vapors, or aerosols. Use personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, mask, and protective clothing.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Small spills: Sweep up or vacuum and transfer to a closed container. Wet down to minimize dust generation.
Cleanup Methods: Collect and place in adequately labeled containers for disposal according to local regulations. Ventilate the area thoroughly and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Wear proper personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid generating dust or breathing vapors or aerosols. Practice good chemical hygiene and wash hands after handling.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as oxidizers and strong acids. Protect from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Store at recommended temperature indicated by supplier, usually between 2–8°C.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established at this time; minimize exposure as far as possible.
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves resistant to chemicals, chemical splash goggles, lab coats or protective clothing, approved respirator when airborne concentrations are excessive.
Hygiene Measures: Avoid eating, drinking, and smoking in the work area. Wash hands before breaks and at end of work.

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Not fully tested on this compound. Similar compounds show mild to moderate acute toxicity if inhaled, ingested, or in contact with skin.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause moderate irritation based on component structure and similar compounds.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May result in redness, tearing, and discomfort.
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: Not known to cause sensitization, but avoid repeated and prolonged contact.
Chronic Toxicity: Prolonged exposure may cause effects to target organs, including liver and kidneys, based on related compounds.
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity: Not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive toxicant based on current data, although testing is incomplete.
Symptoms of Exposure: Nausea, headache, skin irritation, respiratory irritation possible in poorly ventilated conditions.

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Data not sufficient for definitive classification, but related aromatic compounds and quinoline structures show moderate persistence and toxicity in aquatic environments.
Persistence and Biodegradability: Degradation in the environment is likely to be slow. May be persistent in soil and water.
Bioaccumulative Potential: High in aquatic species is possible based on the compound’s lipid solubility.
Mobility in Soil: Likely low as the compound is relatively insoluble in water and tends to adsorb onto the soil.
Other Adverse Effects: Letting this compound enter water systems can harm aquatic life, so avoid uncontrolled discharge.

Disposal Considerations

Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of as hazardous chemical waste according to local, regional, and national regulations.
Incineration: Send to a chemical incinerator equipped with afterburner and scrubber.
Container Disposal: Completely empty containers should be triple-rinsed and disposed of as hazardous waste or recycled where permitted.
Special Precautions: Do not discharge into sewers, surface water, or soil. Always consult with environmental authorities before disposal to ensure safe and compliant handling.
