6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
SRP: Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in air, soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations. If it is possible or reasonable use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination.
Product: Offer surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company. Contaminated packaging: Dispose of as unused product.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Environmental precautions: Do not let product enter drains.
Precautions for safe handling: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.
Appropriate engineering controls: General industrial hygiene practice.
Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
SRP: Local exhaust ventilation should be applied wherever there is an incidence of point source emissions or dispersion of regulated contaminants in the work area. Ventilation control of the contaminant as close to its point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne contaminants. Ensure that the local ventilation moves the contaminant away from the worker.

11.2 Additional information
Carcinogen classification:
Not listed by IARC. IARC has assessed other furocoumarins, classifying 8-methoxypsoralen as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), 5-methoxypsoralen as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A), and certain other furocoumarins as not being classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

12.1 Toxicity
Isoimperatorin's production and use as a laboratory chemical and in the manufacture of substances may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. Isoimperatorin has been detected in various plants. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 1.4X10-7 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates isoimperatorin will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase isoimperatorin will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 2 hours. Particulate-phase isoimperatorin will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Isoimperatorin has a light absorption peak at 310 nm and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, isoimperatorin is expected to have slight mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 4500. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.0X10-10 atm-cu m/mole. Isoimperatorin is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its estimated vapor pressure. Biodegradation data in soil and water were not available. If released into water, isoimperatorin is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law c
