Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Aggressive airway control may be needed. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Carbamates and related compounds

Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.

Wear 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.

Pirimicarb degraded in a cultivated and non-cultivated sandy loam obtained from Berlin, Germany(1). Following application of pirimicarb to the surface layer of the cultivated and uncultivated soil, approximately 66% (cultivated soil) and 60% degradation (uncultivated soil) was observed after 3 days(1). After 7 days approximately 75% (cultivated soil) and 73% (uncultivated soil) was observed(1). The half-life of pirimicarb is reported to range from 7-234 days, depending upon the conditions of the soil(2). The half-life of pirimicarb in soil was reported as 69 days(3). Pirimicarb has been classified as a persistent pesticide with a biodegradation half-life of 208 days in soil at 20 deg C(4). The degradation of pirimicarb in 2 agricultural soils (a clay and silt loam) from the Netherlands was studied over a 7 week incubation period(5). The biodegradation rate constant in the two soils were found to be 0.0125 and 0.0136 day-1, which correspond to half-lives of 55 and 51 days, respectively(5). The half-life of pirimicarb in a moist, sandy loam (pH 8.6, 1.8% organic matter) obtained from northern China was about 9 days, with a lag period of about 3 days(6).

An estimated BCF of 4 was calculated for pirimicarb(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.7(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).

The Koc of pirimicarb in soil was reported as 1,387(1), but no details of the soil conditions were provided and the adsorption of pirimicarb is greatly dependent upon the characteristics of the soil(SRC). The adsorption of pirimicarb in 21 different soils was studied(2). The greatest adsorption was observed in soils with a high clay content and low percentage of organic matter(2). Relatively weak adsorption was observed in soils containing a high percentage of organic carbon(2). Using the adsorption coefficient (Kd) and percentage of organic carbon present in the soil, Koc values ranging from about 56 to 270 were calculated for soils with organic carbon content of 1% or greater(SRC). The mobility of pirimicarb was significantly attenuated by soils with a large percentage of clay and a low percentage of organic matter(SRC). The mobility of pirimicarb was studied in 10 soils and smectites(3). Using the adsorption coefficient (Kd) and percentage of organic carbon present in the soil, Koc values of 270 and 800 were calculated for 2 soils with organic carbon content of approximately 1%(SRC). The adsorption was significantly greater in the other 8 soils with a low percentage of organic matter(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that pirimicarb is expected to have high to low mobility in soil depending upon the conditions(SRC). Pirimicarb was shown to have low mobility in experiments conducted with cultivated and uncultivated sandy loams having pH 6.7 and organic matter of 2.27%(5). Approximately 53-66% of the initially applied 14C-Pirimicarb remained in the upper layer (0-1 cm) of these soils after 7 days with less than 10 % migrating to the lower layer (4-10 cm depth)(5). Other experiments using a sandy loam from northern China (pH 8.6, 1.8% organic matter) showed that pirimicarb was weakly sorbed to the soil surface(6).

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.

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.
