SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin and eyes. Skin contact may result in erythema, itching, edema and formation of small vesicles. Skin sensitization may also occur. Eye contact may result in conjunctivitis and corneal injury. Kidney and liver damage may occur. Vomiting may also occur. Exposure to this type of compound can cause central nervous system stimulation, vomiting, diarrhea, paresthesia, excitement, giddiness, fatigue, tremors, convulsions, coma, pulmonary edema, hypothermia and liver, kidney and myocardial toxicity. Respiration may be initially accelerated and then later depressed. Chronic exposure to this type of compound leads to headache, loss of appetite, muscular weakness, fine tremors and apprehensive mental state. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It may cause irritation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of chlorine, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride gas and phosgene. (NTP, 1992)

Gastrointestinal decontamination. If a large amount of the fungicide has been ingested in the last few hours, and if copious vomiting has not already occurred, it may be reasonable to consider GI decontamination. Activated charcoal can be used along with the addition of the cathartic sorbitol to the charcoal slurry. If sorbitol is given separately, it should be diluted with an equal volume of water before administration. No more than one dose of sorbitol is recommended and it should be used with caution in children and the elderly. If contact with the toxicant has been minimal (for example, oral contamination only, promptly flushed out of the mouth), administration of charcoal without a cathartic, followed by careful observation of the patient, probably represents optimal management. Substituted benzenes

This chemical is a combustible solid. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or alcohol foam extinguishers. Poisonous gases are produced in fire. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors, or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position. If employees are expected to fight fires, they must be trained and equipped in OSHA 1910.156

Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)

In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

This pesticide is toxic to birds and mammals. Treated seed and granules on soil surface may be hazardous to terrestrial wildlife. Cover or collect any such materials spilled during loading.

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.

Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.Store in a refrigerator or cool, dry place away from strong bases. A regulated, marked area should be established where this chemical is handled, used, or stored in compliance with OSHA standard 1910.1045.

TLV: 0.5 mg/m3, as TWA; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen)

A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

AEROBIC/SLUDGE: After 5 days incubation with activated sludge as the seed and at an initial concentration of 50 ug/L, 7.0% of the pentachloronitrobenzene was mineralized to CO2(1). In an aerobic screening test using an activated sludge inoculum, a half-life of 4.3 days was measured for pentachloronitrobenzene at 100 ug/L(2). Less than 0.1% of the initial pentachloronitrobenzene in a 5 day aqueous screening test was biodegraded by an activated sludge inoculum(3).

Measured bioconcentration factors for pentachloronitrobenzene in fish are 238 (topmouth gudgeon, 14 day continuous flow test, compound present at 5-20 ppb)(1), 1,140 (golden orfe, 3 day static test)(2) and 114-261 (rainbow trout; compound concentration of 690 ng/L; flow-through test duration of 5-36 days)(3). BCF values for pentachloronitrobenzene in golden orfe were 430, 950, and 1,130; however, the toxicity limit was exceeded for the first two BCF values and only 70% of the initial radioactivity was recovered from the fish and water for the latter BCF, indicating that some of the pentachloronitrobenzene was lost(4). According to a classification scheme(5), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). Other BCF values for pentachloronitrobenzene were 14,000 and 22,000 (algae)(4), 4,508 (Chlorella fusca)(6) and 4,500 (activated sludge)(4).

A Koc of 21,877 was measured according to OECD TG 106 protocol using a Podsol and an Alfisol(1). A Koc of 19,000 has also been reported, test conditions not specified(2) According to a recommended classification scheme(3), these Koc values indicate that pentachloronitrobenzene will be immobile in soil, particularly those soils containing high concentrations of organic matter(SRC). Analyses of soil samples collected at the groundwater level from cultivated land treated frequently with pentachloronitrobenzene confirmed that this compound is not transported below a depth greater than plow layer(4). Evaporation and movement of pentachloronitrobenzene is strongly inhibited by higher organic matter content of soil(4).

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.
