4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedClassified by the World Health Organization as highly hazardous. Has also been rated as extremely to super-toxic. Acute oral exposure (ingestion) to oxamyl has caused death. Oxamyl is a potent cholinesterase inhibitor. (EPA, 1998)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryThe clinical approach to carbamate toxicity is similar to that for organophosphate poisoning; the major exception is that pralidoxime usually is not recommended. /Carbamates/
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaThis is a solid carbamate pesticide. Move container from fire area. Fight fire from maximum distance. Dike fire control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Wear positive pressure breathing apparatus and special protective clothing. Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire, as the material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty. Use water in flooding quantities as a fog. Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. (EPA, 1998)
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalWhen heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. This is a solid carbamate pesticide. Container may explode in heat of fire. (EPA, 1998)
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 upIf you spill this chemical, you should dampen the solid spill material with water,then transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with water to pick up any remaining material. Seal your contaminated clothing and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash all contaminated surfaces with a strong soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.
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 incompatibilitiesYou should protect this material from exposure to light and air, and store it under refrigerated temperatures.

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 stabilitySolid and formulations are stable... .
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsOXAMYL 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.
10.4 Conditions to avoidno data available
10.5 Incompatible materialsIncompatible with alkaline materials.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition productsDecomposes to innocuous materials in natural waters and soil.

Using loamy sand (pH 6.8) from North Carolina and a sandy soil (pH 6.4) from Florida, half-lives for the degradation of oxamyl were 11 and 15 days, respectively, under aerobic conditions(1). Under anaerobic conditions, a half-life of 6 days was obtained with Keyport silt loam (pH 4.7)(1). The decomposition of oxamyl in soils followed first-order kinetics, the half-life ranging from 4-33 days in a Bet Dagan soil(2). Less than 5% of the oxamyl remained after one day in four water saturated, anaerobic subsoils at 10°C(3). Half-lives in aerobic soils ranged from 21 days in loamy fine sand to 415 days in fine sand at 10°C(3). Oxamyl in moist soils (Arrendondo sand, Cecil sandy loam, and Genada silt loam) was rapidly mineralized to CO2; mineralization half-lives for 14C oxamyl ranged from 23 to 46 days(4).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 3.1 was calculated for oxamyl(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.48(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 soilAn experimental study using Arrendondo, Cecil, and Webster soils found Koc values of 8, 6, and 10, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that oxamyl is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Laboratory experiments show that oxamyl is fairly mobile in muck, loamy sand, and 2 silt loam soils (with movement faster in the loamy sand and slowest in the muck)(3). However, field leachate studies in silt loam, loamy sand, and fine sand show that movement is not that extensive even after 3 to 5 months with very little oxamyl below 15 inches(3). This difference may be attributed to oxamyl degradation losses being greater than movement through soil despite large rainfall levels(3).

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.
