Specific steps in management include the following. 1. Decontamination. ... 2. Airway. Establish an airway if necessary. ... 3. Respiratory Status. Respiratory distress, in fact, is commonly found in these patients from multiple causes. ... 4. Cardiac Monitoring. ... 5. Cholinesterase Level. ... 6. Pralidoxime. Pralidoxime is the treatment of choice for organophosphate poisoning and should be used for nearly all patients with clinically significant organophosphate poisoning, particularly those patients with muscular fasciculations and weakness. ... 7.

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
Mecarbam added to a loam soil in a closed system had a half-life of 77 days(1); when added to field sites, an average half-life of 13 days was reported during June-July(1). The rate of degradation slowed considerably during August-September and was very low for October-November(1). Mecarbam residues remaining after 10 months averaged 4%(1). Degradation of this compound may have been due to both biodegradation and hydrolysis(SRC). Mecarbam added to a composite soil had a Ks value of 0.0495, where the Ks value is a constant which measures the rate of dissipation of mecarbam(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 32 was calculated for mecarbam(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.29(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate, not high(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of mecarbam is estimated as approximately 420(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.29(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that mecarbam has moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
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.
Contaminated packaging
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.
