Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention if skin irritation occurs.

Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).

Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .

Inhalation of concentrated vapor causes depression, irritation of respiratory tract, and pulmonary edema. Liquid can irritate eyes and (on prolonged contact) skin. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Aspiration causes severe lung irritation, rapidly developing pulmonary edema, and central nervous system excitement followed by depression. (USCG, 1999)

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. Aliphatic hydrocarbons and related compounds

For small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use very larg quantities (flooding) of water applied as a mist or spray; solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. Substance may be transported hot. For hybrid vehicles, ERG Guide 147 (lithium ion batteries) or ERG Guide 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. If molten aluminum is involved, refer to ERG Guide 169. (ERG, 2016)

Use foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 31°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). 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.

Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.Store in cool place. 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. Moisture sensitive.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.

Wear safety goggles.

Protective gloves.

Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure to the vapour could cause lowering of consciousness. If swallowed the substance easily enters the airways and could result in aspiration pneumonitis.

The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking.

A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

AEROBIC: n-Nonane was degraded by 27% within 5 days and 100% within 15 days during a test where 1 ml of crude oil was added to a 100 ml simulated seawater solution inoculated with sediment samples from Fukae of Kobe harbor, Japan(1). n-Nonane was degraded by 18% within 5 days and 58% within 15 days after 1 mL of crude oil was added to a 100 mL seawater soln collected at Fukae of Kobe harbor, Japan(1). Complete recovery was reported for all the control samples(1). n-Nonane was completely degraded after a 25 day incubation period in gasoline (400 mg/L) inoculated with activated aerobic sewage sludge (100 mg dry wt/L)(2). The initial concentration of n-nonane was not provided. The concentration of n-nonane in an abiotic flask 25 days after gasoline was added was 0.41 mg/L(2). n-Nonane degradation was observed in active and sterile sandy loam treated with JP-4 jet fuel (10 uL per gram of soil)(3). The concentration of n-nonane at 0 time was 0.118 ug/mL in the active soil and 0.110 ug/mL in the sterile soil while the concentrations in both soils were 0 ug/mL when they were tested a second time after 5 days(3). Evaporation was considered to be the primary removal process(3). Biodiesel B20 (20% soybean fatty acid methyl esters and 80% petroleum diesel) exhibited a half-life of <30 days using an acclimated aquatic inocula from a rainwater detention pond; a half-life of 2.1 days was calculated for n-nonane, a component of this fuel(4). n-Nonane, present at 1.2 ug as a component in gasoline, was incubated in a New Jersey rainwater retention pond. The median half-life of total detectable gasoline hydrocarbons was 5.0 days(5).

An estimated BCF of 100 was calculated in fish for n-nonane(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.65(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).

The Koc of n-nonane is estimated as 8.0X10+4(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.65(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that n-nonane is expected to be immobile in soil. Freundlich absorption coefficients of log 4.50 and log 4.01 were measured in Oberlausitz lignite (11.1% moisture content; 53.5 wt% carbon content; 0.6 wt % nitrogen content) and Pahokee peat soil (10.2% moisture content; 46.1 wt% carbon content; 3.3 wt % nitrogen content), respectively(4).

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.
