Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

1. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 2. Collect for reclamation, or absorb in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or a similar material. /parathion/

7.Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Biological limit values

no data available

8.2 Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. 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. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Respiratory protection

Wear dust mask when handling large quantities.

10.Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

no data available

10.2 Chemical stability

Thermo-stable ... readily hydrolyzed by alkali.

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

The BPS Pesticide incident in Helena resulted in an explosion and death of three firemen. The burning of a 1,000 pound sack of Azinphos Methyl or the flashing of Maneb which was present on the facility may have caused the explosion. Azinphos Ethyl may behave similarly. At elevated temperatures, it will decompose generating toxic gases.

10.4 Conditions to avoid

no data available

10.5 Incompatible materials

Contact with oxidizers may cause the release of phosphorous oxides. Contact with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides, may cause the formation of flammable and toxic phosphine gas.

10.6 Hazardous decomposition products

When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of /phosphorous oxides, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides/.

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout) weight 1.4 g; Conditions: Static bioassay without aeration, 13°C, pH 7.2-7.5, water hardness 40-50 mg/L as calcium carbonate and alkalinity of 30-35 mg/L; Concentration: 20 ug/L for 96 hr (95% confidence limit 17-22 ug/L) /Technical, 88%

• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: The methyl analogue, azinphos methyl, biodegraded in laboratory tests and in soil(1,2) which suggests that azinphos ethyl would also be degraded in the environment(SRC). The half-life of azinphos ethyl in seawater (pH 8.1), river water (pH 7.3) and filtered river water (pH 7.3) was 58, 65 and 36 days, respectively when incubated in the absence of light, in closed 2.5 Liter amber bottles at 22°C(3).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 80 was calculated in fish for azinphos ethyl(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.40(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).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of azinphos ethyl can be estimated to be 170(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that azinphos ethyl is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Using a lysimeter to measure the leachability of various pesticides, azinphos ethyl was not detected in leachate from 3,000 individual analyses conducted from 1977-1986 (detection limit 0.001 mg/L)(3). These tests were conducted using 1-1.3 m in height by 0.5 sq m of top soil with a catch base of 1 sq m(3). For soil material, loamy or silty sand with a low humus content was used where the sum of clay and silt amounted to a maximum of 30% (clay below 10%) and the content of organic bound carbon did not exceed 1.5%(3).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

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.

Contaminated packaging

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.
