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
Excerpt from ERG Guide 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Treatment of overdosage is mainly supportive including maintenance of an adequate airway and assisted respiration and oxygen administration if needed. Resuscitative measures should be initiated promptly. Standard treatment for shock should be administered if necessary. Management of hypotension may include administration of iv fluids, elevation of the lower extremities, and/or use of vasopressor or inotropic agents. For seizures, iv diazepam and phenytoin may be used; in case of refractory seizures, general anesthesia and paralysis induced by a neuromuscular blocking agent may be necessary. Activated charcoal is an effective barbiturate adsorbant when administered within 30 minutes following ingestion of the drugs. ... Gastric aspiration is not recommended unless there is evidence that the drug has been ingested recently (within 4 hours); care should be taken to prevent pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents. Multiple-dose, nasogastric administration of activated charcoal has been used effectively to treat phenobarbital overdose; activated charcoal enhances elimination of the drug and shortens the duration of coma. The patient's vital signs, fluid intake, blood gases, and serum electrolytes should be monitored closely. Analeptic drugs should not be administered because they may produce paroxysmal cerebral activity which may result in generalized seizures. In addition, it has been demonstrated that analeptics are incapable of stimulating respiration and exerting an arousal effect in patients with severe barbiturate poisoning and profound CNS depression. If renal function is normal, forced diuresis may be of benefit. In addition, alkalinization of the urine increases renal excretion of phenobarbital, aprobarbital, and mephobarbital which is metabolized to phenobarbital. Peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis may be useful in severe barbiturate intoxication and/or if the patient is anuric or in shock. Barbiturates General Statement
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam as appropriate for surrounding fire and materials.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]: Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. For electric vehicles or equipment, ERG Guide 147 (lithium ion batteries) or ERG Guide 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. (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
Wipe up spillage or collect spillage using a high- efficiency vacuum cleaner. Avoid breathing dust. Place spillage in appropriately labeled container for disposal. Wash spill site.
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
Store in tight, light-resistant container as defined in the USP-NF. This material should be handled and stored per label instructions to ensure product integrity.

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.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Freely soluble in water. Aqueous solutions are unstable upon storage.
Chemical stability
Aqueous solutions of pentobarbital sodium are not stable, and solutions for injection should not be used if they contain a precipitate. The drug is more stable in propylene glycol, and this vehicle is used as a solvent in commercially available injections. Solutions of pentobarbital sodium should not be added to acidic solutions because precipitation of pentobarbital may occur. Pentobarbital sodium suppositories should be stored at 2-8 deg C.

Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 11 was calculated in fish for pentobarbital(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.10(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of pentobarbital is estimated as 28(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.10(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that pentobarbital is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of pentobarbital is 7.8(4), indicating that this compound will exist partially in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). The pK values of the hypnotically active barbituric acids range between 7.78 and 8.30. Disubstituted barbituric acids exist in the undissociated form at pH 7.4 and the degree of dissociation is strongly influenced by slight alterations in pH(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.
