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.

In a rat metabolism study/... Preliminary study: Group A, 2 male (M)/2 female (F) exposed to a single oral dose of [14C]fluridone (...radiopurity 99.8%; for test solutions [14C]fluridone was mixed w/[12C]fluridone, ...100% purity; test substance was suspended in 1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose [CMC]) at ~10 mg/kg. Group B, 1M/1F exposed to a single oral dose at ~1000 mg/kg. Urine, feces and cage rinses were collected daily for 7 days (because expired (trapped) 14CO2 accounted for <1% of the dose after 24 hr, further 14CO2 measurements were discontinued). Definitive study: Group C, vehicle controls, 2M/2F exposed to a single oral dose of 1% CMC. Group D, 5M/5F exposed to a single oral dose at ~7.4 mg/kg. Group E, 7M/7F exposed to ~10 mg/kg unlabeled fluridone once daily for 14 days, then 5M/5F exposed on day 15 to ~10 mg/kg [14C]fluridone. Group F, 5M/5F exposed to a single oral dose at ~900 mg/kg. ...Clinical signs (lack of mobility, abnormal and rapid head movement, squinting, loss of balance and cage biting) occurred only at the HD (Groups B and F), clearing within 24 hr. Results, Group A: by 7 days, 12.52%/12.89% (M/F) was excreted in urine and 72.76%/81.79% in feces. Group B: by 7 days 4.83%/3.43% was excreted in urine and 86.43%/86.31% in feces. Group D: by 24 hr 11.14%/10.44% was excreted in urine and 72.46%/77.72% in feces. By 7 days 11.61%/10.93% was excreted in urine and 79.19%/84.62% in feces. Combined excretion (including cage rinse) by 7 days was 92.93%/98.74%. Group E: by 24 hr 9.54%/8.51% was excreted in urine and 70.69%/69.90% in feces. By 7 days 10.11%/9.14% was excreted in urine and 79.80%/81.79% in feces. Combined excretion (including cage rinse) by 7 days was 92.81%/94.21%. Group F: by 24 hr 2.40%/2.43% was excreted in urine and 27.16%/27.18% in feces (thus, a relative delay in fecal excretion at the HD). By 7 days 8.30%/8.07% was excreted in urine and 91.58%/90.09% in feces. Combined excretion (including cage rinse) by 7 days was 101.02%/99.62%. Total tissue residues were always <1% of the dose (Groups D-F). Under all conditions, highest tissue levels occurred in the liver. The major metabolites were a variety of polar and non-polar compounds resulting from aromatic hydroxylations and heteroaromatic N-demethylation. The parent compound was the primary fecal component over the 1st 72 hr.

Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.

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.

If a spill occurs, clean it up promptly. Don't wash it away. Instead, sprinkle the spill with sawdust, vermiculite, or kitty litter. Sweep it into a plastic garbage bag, and dispose of it as directed on the pesticide product label.

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.

Keep away from children. Store in original container. Do Not contaminate water, food, feed by storage or disposal.

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: A half-life of 12 months was reported for fluridone in sediment under laboratory conditions and 17 weeks under field conditions(1). Fluridone was reported to dissipate with average half-lives of 20 days and 3 months in pond water and in pond hydrosoil, respectively(2). A half-life of 4 days was observed for fluridone after treatment in a pond(3). A half-life of 1 year or more was observed for fluridone in hydrosoils(3). Photodegradation was found to be the major degradation pathway of fluridone in aquatic systems under actual-use conditions(1). In field studies using different soil types, <10% of the originally applied fluridone was found after 220 days in Miller clay and 20% was found remaining after 385 days in Lufkin fine sandy loam soil(4). In laboratory studies, fluridone persistence in non-sterilized soils after 210 days was 62, 44, 10, and 5% in Lufkin fine sandy loam, Miller clay, Hidalgo sandy clay loam, and Brennan fine sandy loam, respectively(4). In Miller clay and Lufkin fine sandy loam no difference was observed in the rate of fluridone degradation between sterilized and non-sterilized samples; however, noticeable differences in degradation were observed between sterilized and non-sterilized Brennan fine sandy loam and Hidalgo sandy clay loam(4). A half-life of 360 days was reported in aerobic soil(5).

BCF values ranging from 0 to 91 have been reported for fluridone in various fish(1-4). According to a classification scheme(5), BCF values of <30 are low, and from 30 to 100 are moderate.

Koc values for fluridone measured in 6 soils were reported to range from 350 to 2,462(1-3). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that fluridone is expected to have low to slight mobility in soil. The pKa of fluridone is 12.3(5), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in the protonated form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(6).

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.
