SYMPTOMS: This compound is a LACHRYMATOR. Symptoms of exposure to this compound include irritation of the skin and eyes. It also causes sensitization of the skin. Irritation of the nose and mouth may occur. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is a LACHRYMATOR. It is toxic by ingestion and inhalation. It is a severe eye irritant and mild primary skin irritant IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. (NTP, 1992)

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Poisons A and B

To fight fire use/ powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.

Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

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

Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

Protective gloves. Protective clothing.

Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Decomposes above 102°C . This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Decomposes on contact with acids. This produces carbon disulfide. Decomposes on contact with water or moisture. This produces toxic gases.

Stable at temperatures up to 35 deg C. Sensitive to temperatures >50 deg C, & to moisture. Hydrolysed in acidic media to carbon disulfide, formaldehyde, & methylamine.

DAZOMET decomposes in water, dilute acids and alcohol. (NTP, 1992)

The substance is irritating to the eyes.

Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.

Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

AEROBIC: Dazomet, present at 100 mg/L, reached 4% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). The rate of disappearance of dazomet from both an unamended and sterilized Williamson silt loam was identical, indicating that the initial phase of degradation in soil occurred predominantly from nonenzymatic mechanisms(2). The rate of degradation of dazomet in soil, as measured by the release of methyl isothiocyanate, was found to be independent of the soil microorganisms present(3).

An estimated BCF of 2.4 was calculated for dazomet(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.63(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). In addition, dazomet is rapidly hydrolyzed in both fresh and salt water(4) and is not expected to be present for sufficient periods of time for bioconcentration(SRC).

The Koc of dazomet is estimated as 52(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.63(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that dazomet is expected to have high mobility in soil; however it is expected to hydrolyze(1) before extensive leaching occurs(SRC).

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.

The technical grade is 98% pure; dazomet is moderately stable but is sensitive to temperature > 35°C and to moisture.If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
