SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
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.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
no data available
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
The cases are presented of 3 adult women and a 22-month-old girl who experienced adverse effects following ingestion of pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium); the findings were placed in the context of previously reported cases of pennyroyal toxicity. One of the adult patients died after acute ingestion of pennyroyal. The infant was treated with gastric lavage within 30 min of ingestion, followed by 1 g/kg activated charcoal and 2 mL/kg sorbitol. She was then given 190 mg/kg oral acetylcysteine (N-acetylcysteine) followed by 70 mg/kg every 4 hr for a total of 17 doses. The other 2 patients ingested minimally toxic amounts of pennyroyal and recovered without receiving acetylcysteine. In the fatal case, a serum sample obtained 72 hr after acute ingestion contained 18 ng/mL pulegone and 1 ng/mL menthofuran. In a serum sample from the patient treated with acetylcysteine, obtained 10 hr after ingestion, the menthofuran level was 40 ng/mL.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
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.
Environmental precautions
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.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. (R)-(+)-Pulegone
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
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.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. (R)-(+)-Pulegone
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
Control parameters

no data available
Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
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.

Persistence and degradability

Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 50 was calculated in fish for pulegone(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.08(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of pulegone is estimated as 670(SRC), using a log Kow of 670(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that pulegone is expected to have low mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
