SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rest. Refer for medical attention .
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact causes irritability, convulsions and/or coma, nausea, vomiting, headache, fainting, tremors. Contact with eyes causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)
This material is extremely toxic. It is rapidly absorbed through the skin. Symptoms appear between 20 minutes and 12 hours after exposure. There is evidence that this material may cause chromosomal damage. Doses of 1 mg/kg can cause symptoms. It is a suspected carcinogen. Also, it is a central nervous system depressant and hepatotoxin. Pregnant women are considered to be at special risk. (EPA, 1998)
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. ... Epinephrine can 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. ... In a critically ill patient with unknown insecticide exposure, a trial of atropine and pralidoxime should not be withheld until the etiologic agent is discovered, for the use of these agents may prove life-saving in organophosphate poisoning. Atropine must be used with caution, as it can cause ventricular irritability, especially when a myocardial irritant such as an organochlorine is present. ... Hematologic, hepatic (especially with endrin, which is markedly hepatotoxic), and renal studies as well as cardiopulmonary monitoring should be carried out in acute intoxication from lindane or other organochlorines for at least 48 to 72 hr. Long term hematologic follow-up is necessary for the patient with lindane intoxication. As the carrier for these agents may be xylene or a petroleum distillate, management also must include observation and treatment for these entities. Organochlorine pesticides
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
If material involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic and irritating hydrogen chloride fumes may form in fire. (USCG, 1999)
Toxic hydrogen chloride and phosgene may be generated when solution burns. Avoid strong oxidizers, strong acids and parathion. (EPA, 1998)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
50 mg/cu m; NIOSH has recommended that dieldrin be treated as a potential human carcinogen.
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic fumes including hydrogen chloride. Reacts with oxidants and acids. Attacks metals due to the slow formation of hydrogen chloride in storage.
Decomposes above 245°C . This produces hydrogen chloride and phosgene.
Chemical stability
Stable to light
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Not flammableDIELDRIN is sensitive to mineral acids, acid catalysts, acid oxidizing agents and active metals. It reacts with phenols. This compound is also slightly corrosive to metals. It may react vigorously with strong oxidizers such as chlorine and permanganates and strong acids such as sulfuric or nitric. (NTP, 1992)
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Strong oxidizers, active metals such as sodium, strong acids, phenols.

- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
Dieldrin was not biodegraded in standard screening tests using domestic wastewater during a 28 day incubation period(1) and is extremely persistent in soils(2) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions(3). It took 7 yr for half of the dieldrin to disappear from soil field plots(4). No biodegradation in river waters has been noted(5,7). There is some evidence that microorganisms can form photodieldrin from dieldrin(4,6). Dieldrin, present at 100 mg/l, reached 0 percent of its theoretical BOD in 2.5 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(8).
Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values of 4,860 to 14,500 were measured for carp exposed to 1 ug/l of dieldrin and BCF values of 5,390 to 12,500 were measured for carp exposed to 0.1 ug/l over a 10 week incubation period(1). A BCF value of 10,000 was reported for dieldrin in unspecified species of fish(2). A BCF value of 3,300 was reported for dieldrin in lake trout(3). According to a classification scheme(4), this BCF data suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC).
Mobility in soil
An average Koc value of 8,370 was determined for dieldrin in 7 soils(1). Koc values of 9,722 (organic top soil), 1,957 (creek sediment) and 23,310 (sandy loam) were determined for dieldrin(2). Dieldrin has a measured log Koc of 3.87(3) and an Rf value for soil thin layer chromatography of 0.00(3,5). According to a classification scheme(6), these measured Koc values suggest that dieldrin is expected to have low to no mobility in soil(SRC). Even with high temperatures and prolonged leaching dieldrin was shown to be immobile(4).
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.
