Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Skin decontamination. Skin contamination should be treated promptly by washing with soap and water. Contamination of the eyes should be treated immediately by prolonged flushing of the eyes with large amounts of clean water. If dermal or ocular irritation persists, medical attention should be obtained without delay. Other herbicides
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot. For UN3508, be aware of possible short circuiting as this product is transported in a charged state. (ERG, 2016)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
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.

OXYDIAZON is a diazo compound. Azo, diazo, azido compounds can detonate. This applies in particular to organic azides that have been sensitized by the addition of metal salts or strong acids. Toxic gases are formed by mixing materials of this class with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals. Explosive combination can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides.

AEROBIC: Oxadiazon, present at 100 mg/l, reached 16% of its theoretical BOD in two weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and a modified Japanese MITI test(1). In an aerobic degradation study using non-acclimated microbes in a mixed inoculum obtained from activated sludge, field soil and river sediment, oxadiazon was observed to be relatively stable to aerobic microbial degradation, with reported half-lives of 100-321 days(2). The half-life of oxadiazon in aerobic soil (loam and fine sandy loam) is reported to be 3-6 months(3). No biodegradation of oxadiazon at a concn of 0.00555 ppm occurred in Lake Kojima, Japan water samples incubated in the dark for 20 days(4). Using Ashai River, Japan water samples incubated at 10 deg C, 7% biodegradation was observed after 50 days at a concn of 0.01 ppm(4).
Oxadiazon was detected in fish tissue (flesh) samples of crucian carp (Carassius cuvieri) collected from Lake Kojima in Japan at 2,4 and 9 months postapplication at concns of 0.442 ppm, 0.046 ppm and 0.017 ppm, respectively(4). At the final sampling period, the concn of oxadiazon in the surface water (0.024 ppb) was much lower than that detected in the fish samples, indicating that bioconcentration (BCF = 708 based on the point-in-time values reported) had occurred(1). In a study in which oxadiazon was introduced into a model ecosystem, adsorbed to soil (at 1 and 10 ppm), for 48 days, total residues in algae, snails and daphnids accumulated with BCFs of approximately 39-58 at both treatment rates while the respective BCFs in fish were approximately 198-248; the final concns in the water were 5.3 ppb and 44.4 ppb, respectively(2). However, in the study, only 35%, 50%, 57% and 63% of the residues recovered from the snails, fish, water and algae samples were parent oxadiazon, indicating that metabolism/degradation had occurred; the presence of the oxadiazon metabolites found in the water may have affected the bioaccumulation results(2). BCF values of 24.1-26.7 were measured in carp exposed to 40 ug/l of oxadiazon over an 8 week incubation period(3).According to a classification scheme(4), the BCF data suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to high(SRC).
The Koc of oxadiazon is reported as ranging from 676 to 3236(1-3). According to a classification scheme(4), this estimated Koc value suggests that oxadiazon is expected to have only low or slight mobility in soil. In laboratory studies using TLC(5) and column leaching(6) methods, oxadiazon was determined to be immobile in a total of six soils. In a study of the adsorption of oxadiazon (concn of 0.1-100 ppm) to soil and container (potting) media, 98-99% of the applied oxadiazon was adsorbed at all treatment rates, indicating that adsorption was not dependent on concn(7).

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.
