Inhalation: Move to fresh air, breathe deeply, seek medical attention if hormonal side effects or respiratory distress occur
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash area with soap and water, monitor for symptoms like redness or rash
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, seek medical guidance if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, never induce vomiting unless instructed by poison control, seek medical help if drowsiness or adverse symptoms develop
Symptoms to Watch: Nausea, dizziness, headache, severe irritation or endocrine symptoms
Special Instructions: Bring a sample or label of substance for medical team if possible
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Powder form may be combustible if airborne in high concentrations, toxic fumes possible if burned (carbon oxides)
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Other Fire-Related Instructions: Avoid inhaling smoke, prevent wash-off from runoff reaching drains or waterways
Personal Precautions: Use gloves, goggles, lab coat, mask (N95 or higher), isolate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage into drains, sewers, groundwater
Containment: Carefully sweep or scoop up without raising dust, place in appropriate waste container, ventilate area
Cleanup Methods: Wash spill site with water and mild detergent after removal of bulk material
Disposal of Contaminated Material: Place in sealed, labeled container for hazardous waste collection
Handling: Avoid inhalation and contact with skin or eyes, use only in well-ventilated or fume-hood conditions, minimize dust generation
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container, away from light, moisture, oxidizing agents, and incompatible materials
Temperature Requirements: Recommended storage at 2-8°C (refrigerated)
Other Storage Recommendations: Keep locked up and away from unauthorized or untrained personnel, clearly labeled as hormone-active substance
Engineering Controls: Fume hood or local exhaust ventilation, laboratory safety shower and eyewash station nearby
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or latex), safety goggles, lab coat, dust mask or respirator if dust generation expected
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH limits established for Androstenolone

Other Toxicological Data: No evidence for genotoxicity or carcinogenicity under standard laboratory use
Eco-Toxicity: Low toxicity to aquatic life expected in laboratory quantities
Persistence: Hormonal compounds may persist and bioaccumulate in the environment
Mobility: Low water solubility, strong soil adsorption
Biodegradability: Limited data; likely slow degradation in environment
Recommendations: Prevent release into soil, waterways, or sewer systems
Other Environmental Information: Small amounts should be collected and disposed as hazardous laboratory waste; large releases may disrupt aquatic organisms' endocrine systems
