SECTION 4: First aid measures

Description of necessary first-aid measures

If inhaled

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.

Following skin contact

Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.

Following eye contact

Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.

Following ingestion

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

INGESTION, INHALATION, OR SKIN EXPOSURE: Gas- trointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting, and possible diarrhea. Malaise, headache, CNS excitation with tremor, paresthesias, ataxia, confusion, convulsions, and ventricular fibrillation. CNS depression and central respiratory paralysis may occur. (USCG, 1999)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with 0.9% saline (NS) during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Lindane and related compounds

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Liquid products containing organic solvents may be flammable. Extinguish fires with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or powder. With sufficient burning or external heat, mirex will decompose, emitting toxic fumes. Fire-fighters should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus, eye protection, and full protective clothing.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Behavior in Fire: Supports combustion (USCG, 1999)

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

Before dealing with any spillage, precautions should be taken as required and appropriate personal protection should be used. Prevent liquid from spreading or contaminating other cargo and vegetation, and avoid pollution of surface waters and ground water by using the most suitable available material, e.g., earth or sand. Absorb spilled liquid with sawdust, sand, or earth, sweep up and place it in a closeable container for later transfer to a safe place for disposal. As soon as possible after the spillage and before re-use, cover all contaminated areas with damp sawdust, sand, or earth. Sweep up and place in a closeable container for later transfer to a safe place for disposal. Care should be taken to avoid run-off into surface waters or drains.

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

Products should be stored in locked buildings, preferably dedicated to insecticides. Keep products out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel. Do not store near foodstuffs or animal feed.

  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 Daphnia magna (daphnid), >1.0 mg/L/48 hr at 17 deg C, 1st instar; Effect: intoxication, immobilization /technical material, 98%; static bioassay without aeration
  • Toxicity to algae: no data available
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Following the application of 0.5 grams mirex to 100 grams of soil (nine different soils), followed by addition of distilled water to bring the soil moisture to the field capacity, 88-99% of the initially applied amount of mirex was recovered following a 3 month incubation period, and 93-99% was recovered in the soils 6 months post application(1). Generally mirex is resistant to attack by bacteria and fungi, and can inhibit the growth of actinomyctes(1). Although mirex is taken up by micro-organisms(1), plants(2,4) and higher animals including fish(5) and rats(2), it is not metabolized(2). Analysis of soils from spill sites 5 and 12 years after the accidents, suggests that dechlorination takes place very slowly and kepone is a biotransformation product of mirex(3). Twelve years after the application of mirex to soil at one pound per acre, 50% of the mirex and mirex-related organochlorine compounds remained in the soil; 65-73% of the residues consisted of mirex and 3-6% consisted of chlordecone(3). Although concentrations were slightly higher, similar ratios of mirex (76-81%) and chlordecone (l-6%) residues were seen five years after an accidental spill of mirex bait on soil. Kepone was also identified as a transformation product of mirex in estuaries(4). Neither C(14) labeled mirex or kepone degraded in aerobic hydrosoils from the Little Dixie Reservoir and James River tributary, Richmond VA(5).

Bioaccumulative potential

There is evidence for degradation of mirex to chlordecone (kepone) in the environment. both mirex & kepone are highly persistent & have high lipid:water partition coefficients & have been shown to bioconcentrate several thousandfold in food chains.

Mobility in soil

The average Koc value for mirex in 4 samples of sediment obtained from Coyote Creek, CA was 2.4X10+7(1). The Koc value of mirex in an unspecified soil was 5800(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this average Koc value suggests that mirex is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC).

Other adverse effects
