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 with pure water for at least 15 minutes. 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
Similar to parathion. Death may result due to respiratory arrest as a result of paralysis of respiratory muscles and intense bronchoconstriction. Also considered a cholinesterase inhibitor. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
A single oral dose (2 mg/kg) to the rat of (14)c-(c=n)phosfolan (cyolane) was rapidly metabolized ... thiocyanate was present in liver, kidney, & fat, & was also excreted in the urine (24%).
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) 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 -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) Extinguish with dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, foam, or fog. (EPA, 1998)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) This material may burn but does not ignite readily. Container may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, it emits very toxic fumes of oxides of phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen. Hydrolyzed by alkalies. (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.
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection
Control parameters
no data available
no data available
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
Hydrolyzed by alkalis. [EPA, 1998].
Chemical stability
Stable in aq soln under neutral or slightly acidic conditions but hydrolyzed at pH greater than 9 or less than 2.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Organophosphates, such as PHOSFOLAN, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.

Persistence and degradability
no data available
Bioaccumulative potential
A bioconcentration factor of 0.32 can be calculated for cyolane using an appropriate regression equation(1,SRC) and its water solubility, 650,000 mg/L at 25 deg C(2). This value indicates that cyolane will not bioconcentrate in fish and aquatic organisms(SRC).
Mobility in soil
A soil adsorption coefficient of 2.8 can be calculated for cyolane using an appropriate regression equation(1,SRC) and its water solubility, 650,000 mg/L at 25 deg C(2). This value indicates that cyolane will display very high mobility in soil(3).
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.
