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)

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
3,5-DICHLORO-N-(1,1-DIMETHYL-2-PROPYNYL)BENZAMIDE is a chlorinated amide. Organic amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
Microbial action ... in soil results in moderate degree of conversion to cyclize and subsequent hydrolysis products.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Pronamide has measured BCF values from 6-20(1). An estimated BCF value of 135 was calculated for pronamide(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 3.43(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Very little leaching of pronamide occurs in most soil types as it is readily adsorbed on organic matter and other colloidal exchange sites(1). Adsorption distribution experiments with 18 different soil types has shown that, in general, pronamide adsorption increases proportionately with an increase in organic matter content(2). Soil partition coefficients were measured for pronamide in seven soils (organic carbon ranged from 0.01-16.9%; pH from 5.2-7.2); Kd values ranged from 0.04-72.2 with higher values corresponding to soils with higher organic carbon content(Koc values of 400-427(SRC))(3). Koc values of 204(4) and 800(5) were measured in soil for this compound. Pronamide had a pesticide leaching potential index value of 36 out of 100 indicating that this pesticide is not likely to leach significantly(6). According to a recommended classification scheme(7), these estimated Koc values suggest that pronamide has low to 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.
