Exposure to active ingredient (ai) may cause cholinesterase inhibition. Atropine by injection is antidotal. 2-PAM is also antidotal when administered early and in conjunction with atropine. Never use morphine.
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Combustible. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

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.
NO open flames. 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.

The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. This may result in convulsions and respiratory failure. Cholinesterase inhibition. Exposure could cause death. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated. See Notes.
Cholinesterase inhibition. Cumulative effects are possible. See Acute Hazards/Symptoms. See Notes.
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.
AEROBIC: Bensulide has been shown to be persistent in soil, with over 5 months required to reduce initial concentrations in soil to 75-100% of the amount applied(1). Under high temperatures, infrequent rainfall, and furrow irrigation, the half-life of bensulide activity was 6 months, with no biological activity after 22 months(2). Bensulide persisted in the soil when applied to a depth of 2.5 and 7.5 cm in a furrow-irrigated sandy loam soil(3); however, the compound was not detected at appreciable amounts 12 months following application rates of 4.5 and 9.0 kg/ha(3).
An estimated BCF of 340 was calculated for bensulide(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.20(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically once released into the environment(SRP).
The Koc of bensulide is estimated as 4,600(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.20(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that bensulide is expected to have slight mobility in soil. Bensulide applied to soil was shown to have a pesticide leaching potential, which relates soil half-life, application rate, and Koc, of 54 at pH 7 and 39 at pH 5(4), suggesting moderate and low potential for contaminating groundwater, respectively(5).

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.

No specific data on health hazard of this compound were available but many organophosphates are cholinesterase inhibitors (for instance, see ICSC 0172 on Malathion).If the substance is formulated with solvents also consult the ICSCs of these materials.Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
