7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs....Must be stored in its sealed original containers, in well-aired, fresh and dry storehouses or in shaded and possibly well-aired places. It is recommended that the product's temp ...not exceed 25-30°C, and keep ...away from sources of heat, free flames, or spark-generating equipment. Containers must be stacked in such a way as to permit free circulation of air ...at bottom and inside of piles. Storage areas must be located at suitable distance from inhabited buildings, animal shelters, and food stores; moreover, they must be inaccessible to unauthorized persons, children, and domestic animals. /Dimethoate/

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.

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Bensulide has been shown to be persistent in soil, with over 5 months required to reduce initial concentrations in soil to 75-100% of the amount applied(1). Under high temperatures, infrequent rainfall, and furrow irrigation, the half-life of bensulide activity was 6 months, with no biological activity after 22 months(2). Bensulide persisted in the soil when applied to a depth of 2.5 and 7.5 cm in a furrow-irrigated sandy loam soil(3); however, the compound was not detected at appreciable amounts 12 months following application rates of 4.5 and 9.0 kg/ha(3).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 340 was calculated for bensulide(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.20(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically once released into the environment(SRP).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of bensulide is estimated as 4,600(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.20(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that bensulide is expected to have slight mobility in soil. Bensulide applied to soil was shown to have a pesticide leaching potential, which relates soil half-life, application rate, and Koc, of 54 at pH 7 and 39 at pH 5(4), suggesting moderate and low potential for contaminating groundwater, respectively(5).

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.
