This material may be fatal if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Repeated inhalation or skin contact may progressively increase susceptibility to poisoning. (EPA, 1998)
Airway protection. Ensure that a clear airway exists. Intubate the patients and aspirate the secretions with a large-bore suction device if necessary. Administer oxygen by mechanically assisted pulmonary ventilation if respiration is depressed. Improve tissue oxygenation as much as possible before administering atropine, so as to minimize the risk of ventricular fibrillation. In severe poisonings, it may be necessary to support pulmonary ventilation mechanically for several days. Organophosphate pesticides
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

This is a liquid organophosphorus pesticide. Fire may produce irritating or poisonous gases. Hydrolyzes under alkaline conditions. (EPA, 1998)
In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed.
Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in covered containers. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces highly flammable and toxic gases (phosphine see ICSC 0694). Reacts with oxidizing substances. This produces toxic fumes including phosphorous oxides.
Stable for at least two years at room temperature.
Moderate fire risk.Organothiophosphates, such as TERBUFOS, 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. This compound decomposes in the presence of acids or bases (NTP, 1992).

Cholinesterase inhibition. The substance may cause effects on nervous system. This may result in central nervous system disorders.
The substance may have effects on the nervous system.
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.
Soils from two sites in MO planted with corn and treated at different times with terbufos and other pesticides were examined for microbial populations and efficacy of residual insecticide treatment on ten day old house crickets, Acheta domesticus. ... Soil bacteria counts correlated well ... with the biological persistence of the cricket bioassay. ... Actinomycetes dominated the relationships of various degradation bioassay curves.
An estimated BCF of 560 was calculated for terbufos(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.48(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).
Koc values ranging from 500 to 5000 have been reported for terbufos(1-4). According to a classification scheme(5), these Koc values suggest that terbufos is expected to have low to slight mobility in soil.

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.
