10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

It should be kept away from ignition sources because the decomp products are flammable.FERBAM is a dithiocarbamate. Flammable gases are generated by the combination of thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates with aldehydes, nitrides, and hydrides. Thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates are incompatible with acids, peroxides, and acid halides.

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50 Salmo gairdneri (Rainbow trout, early life stages from the fertilized egg to the early fry stage) 2.9 ug/L/60 day (95% confidence interval: 2.7-3.2 ug/L); renewal
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: LC50 Daphnia magna 0.09 mg/L/48 hr /Conditions of bioassay not specified in source examined
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: In pH 3.4 sandy soil, ferbam was largely decomposed after 4 to 5 weeks, while in pH 7.0 soil ferbam was decomposed after 14 to 15 weeks(1). Ferbam took longer than 8 weeks to reach the half-decay point in humus sandy soils as determined by activity to Rhizoctonia solani. If the humus content was 1.2% or below, an initial lag in the start of decomposition was observed(2). Ferbam releases carbon disulfide when it decomposes in soil(3).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for ferbam(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.60(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), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically once released into the environment.

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of ferbam is estimated as 300(SRC), using a water solubility of 130 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that ferbam is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Using a soil TLC system (Hagerstown silty clay loam, 2.5% organic matter, 39.5% clay, pH 6.8) visualized by bioautography with 10 soil fungi and one alga, mean Rf values for analytical grade ferbam were 0.93, 0.64, 0.36, and 0.0(4).

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.
