SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
VAPOR: Irritating to eyes, nose and throat. LIQUID: Will burn skin and eyes. Harmful if swallowed. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Oils should not be used as either cathartics or dermal cleansing agents, as they increase absorption. Gastric lavage and use of activated charcoal and sodium sulfate are indicated for ingestion. If dermal exposure occurred, contaminated clothes should be removed, and the skin should be thoroughly cleansed with soap and water. Management of seizures in both children and adults is with Valium or phenobarbital. Respiratory depression and even respiratory arrest, especially with concomitant use of Valium and phenobarbital in children, may occur. These drugs preferably should be used only in critical care areas where emergency endotracheal intubation can be performed. /It is recommended/ that epinephrine not be utilized in patients with organochlorine poisoning, as the organochlorines induce myocardial irritability and ventricular arrhythmias may occur. However, dopamine may be necessary in the event of hypotension unresponsive to fluid administration, and epinephrine may be necessary in the event of cardiopulmonary arrest. Organochlorine insecticides
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Extinguish with dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Combustible. Irritating fumes of hydrochloric acid may form in fire. Volatilizes with steam. (USCG, 1999)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. If liquid: collect leaking liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. If solid: sweep spilled substance into containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Environmental precautions
If liquid: collect leaking liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. If solid: sweep spilled substance into containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Spills of pesticides at any stage of their storage or handling should be treated with great care. Liquid formulations may be reduced to solid phase by evaporation. Dry sweeping of solids is always hazardous: These should be removed by vacuum cleaning or by dissolving them in water or other solvent in the factory environment. In the field, they may be washed away with water into a suitable soak-hole. /SRP: If time permits, pits, ponds, lagoons, soak holes, or holding areas should be sealed with a impermeable flexible membrane liner./ Pesticides

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Attacks aluminium, copper and their alloys.
Chemical stability
Subject to hydrolysis; slight at 25 deg C, but comparatively rapid >/=50 deg C; so aqueous solutions should not be kept for any length of time. Alkali causes dehydrochlorination above 120 deg C.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
NONFLAMMABLEThese organic compounds donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them. They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic. Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat. Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt. Carboxylic acids with six or fewer carbon atoms are freely or moderately soluble in water; those with more than six carbons are slightly soluble in water. Soluble carboxylic acids dissociate to an extent in water to yield hydrogen ions. The pH of solutions of carboxylic acids is therefore less than 7.0. Many insoluble carboxylic acids react rapidly with aqueous solutions containing a chemical base and dissolve as the neutralization generates a soluble salt. Carboxylic acids in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt. Such reactions occur in principle for solid carboxylic acids as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry. Even "insoluble" carboxylic acids may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in it to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers. Carboxylic acids, like other acids, react with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide. The reaction is slower for dry, solid carboxylic acids. Insoluble carboxylic acids react with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide. Flammable and/or toxic gases and heat are generated by the reaction of carboxylic acids with diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides. Carboxylic acids, especially in aqueous solution, also react with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates (to give H2S and SO3), dithionites (SO2), to generate flammable and/or toxic gases and heat. Their reaction with carbonates and bicarbonates generates a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) but still heat. Like other organic compounds, carboxylic acids can be oxidized by strong oxidizing agents and reduced by strong reducing agents. These reactions generate heat. A wide variety of products is possible. Like other acids, carboxylic acids may initiate polymerization reactions; like other acids, they often catalyze (increase the rate of) chemical reactions. 2,2-DICHLOROPROPIONIC ACID is incompatible with the following: Very corrosive to aluminum and copper alloys.

Persistence and degradability
Soils buffered to ph 6.5 provided optimum conditions for microbial adaptation & herbicide degradation. inactivation ... slower @ ph 7.5 & 5.3 & neg detoxication ... @ ph 4.3. dalapon phytotoxicity in high org soils incr as ph decr & reached max @ ph 4.3 ...
Bioaccumulative potential
The BCF measured for dalapon (sodium salt) during a 3-day exposure in an aquarium was 3 for fish and less than one for snails(1). BCF's of less than one have been measured for poultry, rodents, dogs, and cows(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF data suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using Hagerstown silty clay loam soil, dalapon had a measured Rf value of 0.96 by means of soil thin-layer chromatography which is indicative of very high soil mobility(1). Dalapon was found to be readily mobile in four types of soil when applied at 8 lb/acre(2). Very little adsorption was observed in 3 silty loam soils or a silty clay loam soil in soil column leaching tests, with increased mobility noted with the addition of sand and decreased mobility with the addition of manure(3). Virtually complete leaching was observed through an 8.5 inch soil column of Kawkawlin sandy loam(4). Moderate to rapid leaching has been reported for most Hawaiian soils developed from volcanic materials(5). Dalapon has been reported to leach readily in soil(6). The soil Koc of dalapon was reported as 1-2(7). According to a classification scheme(8), these data suggest that dalapon is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
