SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Promecarb is highly toxic by ingestion and is absorbed through the intact skin. It is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor and its effects are related to action on the nervous sysem. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Carbamate insecticides/ are rapidly metabolized, 80% of dose being eliminated in urine, mainly as sulfate or glucuronide conjugate, within 24 hr; 0.5 to 1.5% is found in feces, 0.1 to 1.0% in the milk. carbamates
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Non-Specific -- Carbamate Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fight fire from maximum distance. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and special protective clothing. (Non-Specific -- Carbamates) Extinguish fire using agent suitable for the surrounding fire, as the material itself burns with difficulty. Use water in flooding quantities as a fog. Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical. (Non-Specific -- Carbamate Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) This material may burn, but does not ignite readily. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or foam. (EPA, 1998)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Non-Specific -- Carbamate Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) Container may explode in heat of fire. Fire and runoff from fire control water may produce irritating or poisonous gases. Hydrolyzed by alkalis. Stable. No changes observed on storage for 140 hours at122F. (EPA, 1998)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
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.
Environmental precautions
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.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
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.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
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.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
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.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Chemical stability
No change at 50 deg C for 140 hr, half life @ pH 7, 310 hr & @ pH 9, 5.7 hr.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
PROMECARB is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.

Persistence and degradability
In pure culture biodegradation studies using Pseudomonas putida, Flavobacter sp, and Aeromonas liquefaciens, only 1.7-16.8% of initial concn of promecarb remained after 28 days of incubation(1); 84.3% of initial promecarb remained after 28 in controls(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
Based upon a water solubility of 91 ppm at 25 deg C(1) and a measured log Kow of 3.10(2), the bioconcentration factor (BCF) for promecarb can be estimated to be 49 and 134, respectively, from recommended regression- derived equations(3,SRC). These BCF estimates suggest a low potential for bioconcentration(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Utilizing soil thin-layer chromatography, the Rf value of promecarb in Hagerstown silty clay loam soil was measured to be 0.34 which is suggestive of low to moderate soil mobility(1). Based upon a water solubility of 91 ppm at 25 deg C(2) and a measured log Kow of 3.10(3), the Koc value for promecarb can be estimated to range from 365 to 1240 from various regression-derived equations(4,SRC). These estimated Koc values also indicate low to medium soil mobility(5).
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.
