Fresh air, rest. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Dusts irritating to upper respiratory passages; may cause sneezing. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
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

Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Evacuate and restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until cleanup is complete. Remove all ignition sources. Vacuum cleaning is preferable to sweeping to keep dust levels down. Use special HEPA vacuum; not a shop vacuum. Ventilate area of spill or leak after cleanup is complete. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Contact your Department of Environmental Protection or your regional office of the federal EPA for specific recommendations. If employees are required to clean up spills, they must be properly trained and equipped. OSHA 1910.120(q) may be applicable.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Bisphenol A, present at 3 mg/L, exhibited a half-life of 3 days when incubated using natural receiving waters from a bisphenol A plant discharge in Houston, TX; a half-life of 2.5 days was measured using Patricks Bayou water, obtained 200 yards downstream from the plant discharge, and a half-life of 4 days was measured using Houston Ship Channel water(1). Loss was attributed to biodegradation since 3 mg/L bisphenol A in a control sample (deionized water) underwent no observable change in concentration over the 8 day test period(1). Incubation of 105 mg/L bisphenol A in an acclimated activated sludge inocula from an industrial wastewater treatment plant resulted in 72% COD removal in 24 hours(2). Using the OECD biodegradation screening test with domestic sewage as seed, <1% degradation was observed in 28 days(1). Bisphenol A was not oxidized in either the Closed Bottle Test nor the Modified Sturm Test; these results indicate a possible lack of acclimation by a domestic sludge as the compound was degraded in biotreators of chemical plants where the compound was produced or used(1). Bisphenol A, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(3). Of 40 Japanese river microcosms and 3 activated sludge samples tested, only 6 could completely mineralize this compound, resulting in 2 common metabolites: 2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-propanediol and p-hydroxyphenacyl alcohol; 19 bacteria were isolated from these activated sludge and river water samples(4). Further testing with the pure cultures suggested that bisphenol A-degrading bacteria exist in aquatic environments but they are unable to completely degrade this compound, leading to accumulation of more recalcitrant metabolites(4). In 22-day aerobic river die-away tests using several river water samples in 24 microcosms, bisphenol A showed complete degradation in 19 microcosms (complete mineralization in two microcosms) and no degradation in 5 microcosms(5).
Bioaccumulative potential
BCF ranges of <20 to approximately 67.7 and 5.1 to 13.3 from starting concentrations of 15 and 150 mg/L, respectively, were measured for bisphenol A using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 8-week period(1). The following experimentally-determined BCF values have also been reported(2): 38 in spotted halibut (Varaspar variegates), 73.4 in killfish (Oryzias latipes). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to moderate(SRC). The BCF in freshwater clams, Pisidium amninum, was 114, 128, 134, and 107 at and 1.8, 5.8, 8.4, and 11.6 deg C, respectively, suggesting the importance of temperature on the processes that control uptake and elimination by aquatic biota(4).
Mobility in soil
A mean Koc value of 796 for bisphenol A was measured in soil adsorption experiments using four different agricultural soils from North-Rhine Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany and a bisphenol A concentration range of 0.04 to 5.00 mg/L; Koc values ranged from 636-931(1). Leaching studies in turf grass fields having loamy sand and sandy loam soils determined respective Koc values of 1751 and 3886(3); bisphenol A did not leach below a 30 cm soil layer(3). Batch experiments using soil samples from South Australia found Koc values ranging from 251 to 1507 (mean of 962)(4). Batch experiments using two acid sandy soils determined bisphenol A Koc values ranging from 335 to 703 (average of 375)(5). According to a classification scheme(6), a Koc range of 115 to 3886 suggests that Bisphenol A may have high to slight mobility in soil. Most of the measured Koc values suggest that bisphenol A may have moderate to low mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of bisphenol A is 9.6(7), 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(8). The partial dissociation of Bisphenol A in environmental media may be one reason for the wide range of observed soil adsorptions(SRC). An average bisphenol A Koc of 115 was determined in sorption studies using sediments from five locations on the Xiangjiang River in China(2).

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.
