4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedExposure Routes: inhalation, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Irritation eyes Target Organs: Eyes, skin, thyroid, reproductive system (NIOSH, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Poisons A and B/
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaUse dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam extinguishers ... If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalThis chemical is combustible.
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fightersWear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
6.Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresUse personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautionsPersonal 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.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upSRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.
7.Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handlingAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesSeparated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well ventilated area away from strong oxidizers, acids, acid anhydrides, acrolein. Store in a refrigerator or a cool, dry place. A regulated marked area should be established where this chemical is handled, used, or stored ...

8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) Eye/face protectionSafety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protectionWear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Respiratory protectionWear dust mask when handling large quantities.

AEROBIC: Ethylene thiourea was found to be readily degraded by soil microorganisms(1). Ethylene thiourea degraded rapidly in soil to ethyleneurea and then CO2; however, studies with autoclaved soil indicated that initial conversion was accomplished chemically(2) while further degradation to CO2 was accomplished microbially(3). Ethylene thiourea was shown to be biodegradable in aerobic soil samples from a sandy locality in western Jylland, Denmark at a concentration 125 ug/L incubated in the dark at 23°C for 120 days(4). Aerobic decay rates were 11.4 to 13.3 ug/kg soil-day(4). Degradation of 0.07 mg/kg 14C-labeled ethylene thiourea was determined in surface (19% in 24 hrs) coarse sandy field soil from Denmark(5). Subsurface rates were affected by soil depth; 16% and 23% at 100 and 60 cm depth, respectively, after 109 days. Following a 5 day incubation of 0.05 mg/L ethylene thiourea in activated sludge, 2.9% of applied amount was degraded(5). Ethylene thiourea, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(6).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialBCFs of <0.2 to 0.3 and <1.8 were determined in carp (Cyprinus carpio) for ethylene thiourea at concentrations of 1.0 and 0.1 ppm exposed for 6 weeks(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCFs suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of ethylene thiourea can be estimated to be 13(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that ethylene thiourea is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Average Rf values of 0.96 (Norfolk sandy loam), 1.00 (Lakeland sandy loam), 0.96 (Hagerstown silty clay loam), 0.83 (Barnes clay loam) and 0.61 (Celeryville muck) were measured using soil TLC plates which is indicative of high mobility in all the soils except the muck which has intermediate mobility(3). Ethylene thiourea Kd values were measured in Dutch soils from Fladerne Baek, March 1994; 0.06 (2.1% clay, 1.4% silt, 96.3% sand, 0.1% humus, pH 6.4), 0.13 (2.5% clay, 1.4% silt, 95.7% sand, 0.3% humus, pH 6.3), 0.17 (3.6% clay, 2.8% silt, 90.8% sand, 2.8% humus, pH 6.9)(4).

13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe 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 packagingContainers 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.
