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
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Toxic. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Oils should not be used as either cathartics or dermal cleansing agents, as they increase absorption. Gastric lavage and use of activated charcoal and sodium sulfate are indicated for ingestion. If dermal exposure occurred, contaminated clothes should be removed, and the skin should be thoroughly cleansed with soap and water. Management of seizures in both children and adults is with Valium or phenobarbital. Respiratory depression and even respiratory arrest, especially with concomitant use of Valium and phenobarbital in children, may occur. These drugs preferably should be used only in critical care areas where emergency endotracheal intubation can be performed. /It is recommended/ that epinephrine not be utilized in patients with organochlorine poisoning, as the organochlorines induce myocardial irritability and ventricular arrhythmias may occur. However, dopamine may be necessary in theevent of hypotension unresponsive to fluid administration, and epinephrine may be necessary in the event of cardiopulmonary arrest. ... Organochlorine insecticides
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
If material involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire (material itself does not burn, or burns with difficulty). Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. If large quantities of combustibles are involved, use water in flooding quantities as spray and fog. Heptachlor
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 151 [Substances - Toxic (Non-combustible)]: Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. (ERG, 2016)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
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
A process for removing pollutants from du pont's chambers works plant in deepwater, nj is described. process involves neutralization of wastes & settling, followed by combined powdered carbon-biological process. among pesticides listed as priority pollutants are heptachlor & chlordane. heptachlor
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
PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": Storage site should be as close as practical to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for ... expt need to be carried. Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion-proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties ...) that bears appropriate label. An inventory ... should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date it was acquired ... Facilities for dispensing ... should be contiguous to storage area. Chemical Carcinogens

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
No degradation occurred when heptachlor epoxide was incubated for a week with a wastewater inoculum and a portion of the test mixture used as seed for 3 sequential week-long tests(4). When heptachlor epoxide was incubated with a sandy loam soil inoculum at 28 degC, a mean conversion of 2.8, 5.8, and 12.0% to 1-exohydroxychlordene occurred after 4, 8, and 12 wk, respectively(1). No significant degradation occurred when heptachlor epoxide was incubated at 45 degC with any of 7 air-dried soils for 8 days(3). Under anaerobic conditions, heptachlor epoxide degraded slowly (half-life approximately 25 days) when incubated with thick digestor sludge at 35 degC(2). However when incubated anaerobically with dilute sludge at 20 degC or aerobic sludge, no significant degradation was noted in 60 days(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
Eight pesticides, including heptachlor epoxide, were bioconcentrated in the fat of clams implanted in cages anchored to the bottom of the kaskaskia river near tuscola, illinois over 72 days.
Mobility in soil
The partition constant of heptachlor epoxide to bentonite clay is 100(1). Based on the water solubility of 347 ug/l(2), one would estimate a KOC of 7800 using a recommended regression equation(3,SRC). From the relative concn of heptachlor epoxide in water and suspended solids in the Grand and Saugeen Rivers, the partition coefficient between these phases is 10000-20000(4).
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.
