SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
This chemical is a combustible liquid. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or alcohol foam extinguishers. Poisonous gases are produced in fire including nitrogen oxides and chlorine. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors, or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position. If employees are expected to fight fires, they must be trained and equipped in OSHA 1910.156.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: In soil, microbial degradation of propazine occurs, with hydrolysis of the chlorine atom to give hydroxypropazine, dealkylation of both substituted amino groups, presumably followed by ring opening and decomposition(1). The half-life in soil is approximately 80-100 days(1). Propazine was 36-64% degraded in a series of aerobic soil beds over a 54 week incubation period and 5.7-75% degraded in a series of anaerobic/aerobic cycled soil beds over a 54 week incubation period(2). In lab tests, no 14-CO2 release was observed in 16 weeks from a silt loam soil treated with propazine labeled with 14-C in the triazine ring(3). Two to fourteen months time has been reported as the time required for decomposition of propazine applied at "normal" application rates in soil(4); however, it was not reported whether this refers to total degradation of parent herbicide as well as active metabolites(SRC). The half-lives for degradation (purportedly mainly soil-catalyzed hydrolysis) of propazine in Hatzenbuhl soil at pH 4.8 and Neuhofen soil at pH 6.5 are 62 and 127 days, respectively(5). It has been reported that s-triazines which are similar in structure to propazine can be utilized by certain soil microorganisms as a source of energy(6).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 17 was calculated in fish for propazine(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.93(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).
Mobility in soil
An avg Koc of 154 was calculated for propazine from 33 soils(1) and an avg Koc of 160 was calculated from 54 soils(2). The Koc of propazine in 4 European soils was measured in the range of 84-500(3). According to a classification scheme(4), this Koc data suggests that propazine is expected to have moderate mobility in soil.
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.
