Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention .

Exposure Routes: inhalation, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Irritation eyes, respiratory tract; dermatitis; gastrointestinal disturbance Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract (NIOSH, 2016)

Wash contaminating chemical from skin and hair with soap and water. Persons sensitive to thiram (rubber-sensitive) should be permanently removed from contact with compounds of this nature. Flush contaminant from eyes with fresh water for 10-15 minutes. If thiram or metallo dithiocarbamate compounds have been ingested: a) if vigorous emesis has not already occurred and victim is fully alert, give syrup of ipecac, followed by 1-2 glasses of water to induce vomiting (adults, 12 yr and older: 30 mL; children under 12: 15 mL). If consciousness level declines or vomiting has not occurred in 15 minutes, empty the stomach by intubation, aspiration, and lavage. Dithiocarbamates and Thiocarbamates

Use/ water spray, powder.

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)

Use water spray, powder.

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 sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Ventilate area of spill. Collect spilled material in the most convenient and safe manner and deposit in sealed containers for reclamation, or for disposal in a secured sanitary landfill. Liquid containing ferbam should be absorbed in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or a similar material.

NO open flames. 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.

Separated from strong oxidants, copper compounds, mercury compounds, alkaline materials and food and feedstuffs. Dry. Well closed.Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and animals.

TLV: (inhalable fraction): 5 mg/m3, as TWA; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen)

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

Wear safety spectacles.

Protective gloves. Protective clothing.

Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Decomposes on heating and on contact with moisture. This produces toxic and flammable gases. Reacts with strong oxidants.

Tends to decompose on prolonged storage or exposure to heat and moisture.

It should be kept away from ignition sources because the decomp products are flammable.FERBAM is a dithiocarbamate. Flammable gases are generated by the combination of thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates with aldehydes, nitrides, and hydrides. Thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates are incompatible with acids, peroxides, and acid halides.

Strong oxidizers, moisture.

When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen and sulfur oxides.

Classification of carcinogenicity: 1) evidence in humans: No adequate data; 2) evidence in animals: Inadequate data. Overall summary evaluation of carcinogenic risk to humans is Group 3: The agent is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. From table

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.

Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the nervous system and thyroid.

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

AEROBIC: In pH 3.4 sandy soil, ferbam was largely decomposed after 4 to 5 weeks, while in pH 7.0 soil ferbam was decomposed after 14 to 15 weeks(1). Ferbam took longer than 8 weeks to reach the half-decay point in humus sandy soils as determined by activity to Rhizoctonia solani. If the humus content was 1.2% or below, an initial lag in the start of decomposition was observed(2). Ferbam releases carbon disulfide when it decomposes in soil(3).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for ferbam(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.60(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically once released into the environment.

The Koc of ferbam is estimated as 300(SRC), using a water solubility of 130 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that ferbam is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Using a soil TLC system (Hagerstown silty clay loam, 2.5% organic matter, 39.5% clay, pH 6.8) visualized by bioautography with 10 soil fungi and one alga, mean Rf values for analytical grade ferbam were 0.93, 0.64, 0.36, and 0.0(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.
