ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryEmergency and supportive measures: Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. Administer supplemental oxygen. Treat coma, hypothermia, hypotension, and pulmonary edema if they occur. Monitor patients for at least 6 hours after ingestion, because delayed absorption may occur. ... /Sedative-hypnotic agents/
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaFires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalFlash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably 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 precautionsPrevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upPick up and arrange disposal. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers 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 incompatibilitiesMeprobamate preparations generally should be stored in tight containers at a temperature less than 40°C, preferably at 15-30°C. However, USP states that the tablets can be stored in well-closed containers. The fixed-combination tablets of meprobamate and aspirin should be stored in tight, light-resistant containers at 20-25°C and protected from moisture.

Biological limit valuesno data available
8.2 Appropriate engineering controlsHandle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
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.

10.2 Chemical stabilityStable in dil acid and alkali and not broken down in gastric or intestinal juices.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsMEPROBAMATE is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.

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
AEROBIC: Meprobamate has been classified as non-biodegradable(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for meprobamate(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.70(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of meprobamate is estimated as 60(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.70(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that meprobamate is expected to have high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
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.
