Excerpt from ERG Guide 135 [Substances - Spontaneously Combustible]: Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Inhalation of decomposition products may cause severe injury or death. Contact with substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

Immediate first aid: Remove patient from contact with the material. Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Dithiocarbamates and Related Compounds

If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Do not use water. Use graphite, soda ash, powdered sodium chloride, or suitable dry powder. Maneb or maneb preparations stabilized

Excerpt from ERG Guide 135 [Substances - Spontaneously Combustible]: Flammable/combustible material. May ignite on contact with moist air or moisture. May burn rapidly with flare-burning effect. Some react vigorously or explosively on contact with water. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. (ERG, 2016)

Use carbon dioxide, dry powder. NO hydrous agents. NO water.

Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.

NO open flames. NO contact with water. 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.

Decomposes on contact with acids or moisture. This produces toxic and flammable gases including hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide.

Stable under ordinary storage conditions but decomposes more or less rapidly when exposed to moisture or to acids. In presence of moisture decomposition proceeds as in nabam with formation of polymeric ethylene thiuram monosulfide. ... The biological activity of the product remains practically unvaried for 2 yr under environmental conditions, provided the product is stored in its unopened & undamaged original containers, in shaded & possible well-aired places.

May ignite spontaneously in air.The BPS Pesticide incident in Helena resulted in an explosion and death of three firemen. The burning of a 1,000 pound sack of Azinphos Methyl or the flashing of Maneb which was present on the facility may have caused the explosion.

Water, acid, oxidizing materials. Heat or contact with moisture or acids causes rapid decomposition and the generation of toxic and flammable hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide.

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.

Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the kidneys and central nervous system. This may result in kidney impairment and neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders (manganism).

Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

AEROBIC: Approximately 90% maneb was degraded under aerobic conditions in six weeks in a field test in moist plough layer with 2-4% humus, with a pH of 5.5-6.5 under a medium air temperature of 11-16 deg C(1). In loamy sand in dark aerobic conditions, 50% maneb is degraded in 25 days(2). In a 5-day CO2 evolution study using an activated sludge inoculum, 0.6% of applied maneb (50 ppb; (14)C radiolabeled) was detected as (14)C labeled CO2(3). The effect of maneb on microorganisms in two agriculturally important soils in Puerto Rico was studied under laboratory conditions for an 18-month period(4). In general, bacterial numbers increased while actinomycetes and fungi decreased, especially at higher concns (up to 960 ppm)(4). It was postulated that bacteria are the principal microorganisms in soil responsible for maneb biodegradation(4).

In a 3-day static system study, a BCF for maneb of <10 was measured in golden ide (Leuciscus idus melanotus) fish(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.

The Koc for maneb is 240(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that maneb is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Using soil thin-layer chromatography and five different soil types, the Rf value of maneb was found to range from 0 to 0.42 which indicates immobility to moderate mobility in soil(3). These higher Rf values may have resulted from a dissociation to the free ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) or the presence of an ethylene thiourea impurity(4), otherwise, maneb can be expected to be generally immobile in soil(3). In a microagroecosystem chamber study using a Galestown sandy loam soil, spray applications of maneb did not penetrate below a 1 cm depth although unspecified soluble degradation products were collected in leachate waters(4). During a 52-week field study in Delaware where 14-C-labeled maneb was applied to a silty loam soil, radio-labeled residues did not leach below a 5 inch depth(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.
