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
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.
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
Carbamazepine tablets, extended-release tablets, and chewable tablets should be stored in tight, light-resistant containers at temperatures not exceeding 30 deg C. Carbamazepine extended-release capsules should be stored in tight, light-resistant containers at 15-25 deg C. Because dissolution characteristics and associated oral bioavailability of carbamazepine tablets may be affected substantially by moisture, patients should be cautioned to keep containers of the tablets tightly closed and in a dry location, away from areas with excessive moisture (e.g., showers, bathrooms, humidifiers). Carbamazepine tablets may lose one-third or more of their oral bioavailability when exposed to excessive moisture. Tablets continuously exposed to 97% relative humidity at room temperature for 2 weeks become hardened and dissolve poorly.

Exposure 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
Eye/face protectionWear 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.

Chemical stability
To study the photostability of carbamazepine polymorphs, the pure materials on the tablet surface were evaluated without physical damage by means of Fourier-transform infrared reflection-absorption infrared spectrometry (FT-IR-RAS) and colorimetric measurement of the carbamazepine polymorphs I, II, and III, after photodegradation at 2 irradiation intensities under a near-UV fluorescent lamp. The surface of sample pellets of all crystalline forms turned gradually from white to yellow-orange upon exposure to light, and the discoloration rate of form II was faster than that of forms I and III, indicating that form II was the most unstable of the three. The semilogarithmic plots of the photodegradation profiles of the various polymorphs were straight lines, including the induction period, indicating that degradation of the drug on the surface followed first-order kinetics. The induction periods of all forms were not significantly different. However, the degradation rate constant of form II was 5.1 and 1.5 times larger than those of forms I and III, respectively.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Removal of carbamazepine in German sewage treatment plants was found to be extremely low at 7%(1). Using a batch suspension of activated sludge maintained under aerobic conditions, an initial decrease in 5.0 ug/L carbamazepine was observed in the first 15 minutes, then reached a constant level of 3.1 ug/L; 37% loss was attributed to adsorption to sludge. No metabolites were identified and no further degradation was observed(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 15 was calculated in fish for carbamazepine(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.45(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 carbamazepine is estimated as 510(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.45(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that carbamazepine is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. In a soil column study using Mahall-Leveen sandy soil from an area northwest of Phoenix, AZ, carbamazepine was detected in the column leachate at a concentration of 0.116 ug/L following addition of the compound at 0.170 ug/L 20 days prior(4).

Disposal methods
ProductThe 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.
