If inhaled

Following skin contact

Following eye contact

Following ingestion

Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

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, foam, carbon dioxide.

Personal protection: protective gloves and chemical protection suit. 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.

Thermal hazards

Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163).

Virtually non-volatile; stable when dry, but slowly hydrolyzes in water at ordinary temp, rapidly @ high temp or under alkaline conditions

A halogenated phthalimide.

no data available

Incompatible with strongly alkaline material.

When heated to decomp it emits very toxic fumes of /hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides & sulfur oxides/.

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Oncorhynchus mykiss (Rainbow Trout) fingerling; Conditions: freshwater, flow through, 12 deg C, pH 7.5, hardness 314 mg/L CaCO3; Concentration: 74.0 ug/L for 24 hr (95% confidence interval: 68.6-79.9 ug/L) /88% purity technical material
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water Flea) 1st instar larvae; Conditions: freshwater, static; Concentration: 85 ug/L for 24 hr (95% confidence interval: 75-97 ug/L); Effect: intoxication, immobilization /87.5% purity

AEROBIC: A first-order half-life of 75.4 days was measured for the degradation of radio-labeled folpet, applied at 10 ug/L to Georgia sandy loam soil. The degradation pattern was described to be biphasic, with rapid degradation occurring between days 0-14 and slower degradation occurring between days 14-365 post-treatment. The Environmental Protection Agency calculated an integrated first-order half-life of 2.55 days using non-linear regression on the non-transformed data. An earlier study measured a half-life of 2.4 days with 74% of the applied radioactivity detected as 14CO2 at 7 days post-treatment for the degradation of radiolabeled folpet applied at 5.92 ppm to a sandy loam soil. Degradation products are carbon dioxide, phthalimide and phthalic acid(1).

Bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of 19, 61, and 81 were determined for the fillet, whole fish, and viscera, respectively, in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus)(1) using radiolabeled folpet at 10 ug/L. These bioconcentration factors are based on total radiolabeled residues and not specifically folpet residues. According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF range, based on total residues, suggests bioconcentration of folpet and its metabolites in aquatic organisms is low to moderate. The accumulated residues were eliminated over 7 days(1).

Koc values of 7.47 to 21.9 have been reported for folpet(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that folpet is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
