4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
If inhaled
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.
Following skin contact
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Following eye contact
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Following ingestion
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.
4.2 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)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
3H-/labeled/ 7H-Dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (3 mg), administered intratracheally in saline or water to hamsters, was cleared from the respiratory tract with a half-life of 1-3 hr, which was several times faster than the rate observed for benzo[a]pyrene ... 7H-Dibenzo[c,g]carbazole was distributed to the liver, kidney, brain and fat, with highest concn observed in the intestine; 6 hr after administration, five times as much radioactivity was observed in the feces (16%) as in the urine (3%).
SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Excerpt from ERG Guide 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray. LARGE FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)
5.2 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)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
Polynuclear aromatic compounds generally exhibit decreasing biodegradation with increasing number of rings(1). No enrichment cultures capable of degrading 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole could be prepared from eutrophic creek water, sewage or oil refinery effluents in 6-week laboratory studies(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
The estimated log Kow for 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole is 5.58(1). Using this log Kow, one can estimate a BCF of 10,000 for 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole using a recommended regression equation(2). This BCF indicates that 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole has a very high potential for bioconcentration in fish and aquatic organisms(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The soil/water distribution constant of 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole to Des Moines River sediment (0.08% OC), Coyote Creek sediment (1.9% OC), and Searsville Lake sediment (5% OC) was 32,600, 18,500, and 27,600, respectively(1). The respective Koc values are 40,800,000, 970,000 and 550,000(SRC). The Koc for 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole estimated from molecular structure is 1.5X10+6(2). According to a suggested classification scheme(3), these experimental and estimated Kocs suggest that 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole would be immobile in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
