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.

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include agranulocytosis, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, tinnitus, convulsions, coma, sodium retention, edema, aplastic anemia and leukopenia. Other symptoms include leukemia, cyanosis, respiratory depression, agitation, hallucinations, hypertension, reactivation of pre-existing peptic ulcers, ulcerative esophagitis, hepatic necrosis, glomerulonephritis, kidney stones, kidney failure, pericarditis, diffuse interstitial myocarditis with muscle necrosis, blood dyscrasias, hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia, optic neuritis causing blurred vision, toxic amblyopia, detached retina and allergic reactions such as rash, urticaria, arthralgia, Lyell's syndrome, Steven-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme and anaphylactic shock. It may cause kidney damage, bone marrow depression, excessive perspiring, stupor, ulceration of the buccal and gastrointestinal mucosa, cardiac toxicity, perivascular granulomata, thrombocytopenic purpura and exfoliative dermatitis. It may also cause fever, hematuria (blood in the urine), peptic ulcer, hypersensitivity reactions, hepatitis, sore throat, lesions in the mouth, dyspepsia, unusual bleeding or bruising, black or tarry stools or other evidence of intestinal ulceration, weight gain, thrombocytopenia, hemorrhagic diathesis, perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding, jaundice, death, abdominal discomfort and distress, indigestion, heartburn, water retention, abdominal distention with flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, gastritis, salivary gland enlargement, stomatitis (sometimes with ulceration), vasculitis, serum sickness, systemic lupus erythematosus, aggravation of temporal arteritis, pruritis, erythema nodosum, nonthrombocytopenic purpura, chloride retention, fluid retention, plasma dilution, congestive heart failure, metabolic acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, proteinuria, ureteral obstruction with uric acid crystals, anuria, nephrotic syndrome, impaired renal function, interstitial nephritis, headache, drowsiness, confusional states, lethargy, tremors, numbness, weakness, hyperglycemia hearing loss, scotomata, retinal hemorrhage, oculomotor palsy, thyroid hyperplasia, goiters associated with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, hematemesis, restlessness, dizziness, psychosis, hyperpyrexia, electrolyte disturbances, hyperventilation, hypotension, oliguria, cardiac arrest, anemia, leukocytosis and hypoprothrombinemia. Exposure may lead to vertigo, gastric irritation with ulceration, goiter, epidermal necrolysis, impaired hepati function and renal failure. Exposure may also lead to liver damage, degenerative changes in the brain, mental disturbances, difficulty in hearing, thready pulse, anorexia, pharyngeal membrane, enlargement of the liver and spleen, adrenol necrosis and uremia. Eye effects include a variety of eye disturbances, severe keratitis with involvement of the conjunctiva, cornea and tear glands which may result in scarring of the corneas with opacification vascularization and symblepharon, and rarely, diplopia. Granulocytopenia has occurred. Other symptoms may include insomnia, euphoria, nervousness and electrolyte retention. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It may cause irritation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. (NTP, 1992)

Emergency and supportive measures: Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Administer supplemental oxygen. Treat seizures, and hypotension if the occur. Antacids may be used for mild GI upset. Replace fluid losses with intravenous crystalloid solutions. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)

Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

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.

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.

Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.

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.

Stable if stored at room temperature in closed containers in absence of moisture.

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

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.

PURE CULTURE: Microbial conversion of phenylbutazone with the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus Fischer gave 4-hydroxyphenylbutazone in excellent yield(1).

An estimated BCF of 56 was calculated in fish for phenylbutazone(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.16(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of phenylbutazone can be estimated to be 2,270(SRC). A soil Koc of 15,800 has also been reported for phenylbutazone(2), but it is not clear whether this value is estimated or based on measurement(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that phenylbutazone is expected to have slight to no mobility in soil.

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.
