Rinse mouth.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include skin and eye irritation. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is a potential eye and skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur. (NTP, 1992)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
To determine the metabolic disposition of (l4)C-2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and (14)C-2-mercaptobenzothiazole disulfide (MBTS) male and female rats were dosed topically. Topical doses were 36.1 ug/animal for (14)C-MBT and 33.6 ug/animal for (14)C-MBTS. Although more MBT passed through the skin than MBTS and although relative to rats, guinea pigs absorbed a greater percentage of the dose (33.4% compared to 16.1-17.5% of the MBT and 12.2% compared to 5.94-7.87% for MBTS) the disposition of radioactivity derived from the two compounds was similar. Washing of the skin removed more of the radioactivity from guinea pigs than from rats. For both sexes of rats dosed iv with (14)C-MBT 0.602 mg/kg) or (14)C-MBTS 0.571 mg/kg) disposition of the compounds was similar. In 72 hr, 90.9-101% of the dose appeared in the urine and 3.79-15.1% in the feces. At this time a small portion of the administered radioactivity (1.52-1.96% of the dose) remained associated with erythrocytes. Oral dosing of rats for 14 days with unlabeled MBT (0.510 mg/kg/day) prior to a single dose of (14)C-MBT (0.503 mg/kg) or with unlabeled MBTS (0.521 mg/kg/day) prior to a single dose of (14)C-MBTS (0.730 mg/kg). For both sexes disposition of the compounds was similar. At 96 hr after dosing a small portion of the administered radioactivity (1.20-1.69% of the dose) remained associated with erythrocytes most of which was bound to the membranes. For both compounds and sexes 60.8-101% of the radioactivity administered appeared in the urine and 3.46-9.99% in the feces in 96 hr. At the time only trace amounts of radioactivity remained in tissues other than blood. Of these tissues thyroid contained the highest concentration. In the urine there was a detectable MBT or MBTS but there were two metabolites one of which was identified as a thioglucuronide derivative of MBT. The other was possibly a sulfonic acid derivative of MBT. In conclusion there were similarities in absorption, distribution, and metabolism of (14)C-MBT and (14)C-MBTS in rats and in guinea pigs, indicating that (14)C-MBTS was readily converted to (14)C-MBT.

SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
In an aerobic closed bottle screening study using activated sludge and soil inoculum, 2,2'-dibenzothiazyl disulfide had a 2 week theoretical BOD of 0.8%(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Using a flow-through test system, 6-week BCFs for 2,2'-dibenzothiazyl disulfide of 1.0-7.2 and 1.4-51 were measured for concentrations of 0.2 mg/L and 0.02 mg/L, respectively, for carp(1). These experimental BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indexes, the Koc for 2,2'-dibenzothiazyl disulfide can be estimated to be about 755,000(1). The Koc for 2,2'-dibenzothiazyl disulfide can be estimated to be about 10,960 based on an estimated water solubility of 0.187 mg/L at 25 deg C and a regression derived equation(2). According to a suggested classification scheme(3), these estimated Koc values suggest that 2,2'-dibenzothiazyl disulfide is immobile in soil.
