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 as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration.

SECTION 12: Ecological information

12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Oncorhynchus mykiss (Rainbow trout); Conditions: flow through; Concentration: 41.6 ppm for 96 hr (95% confidence interval: 36-45 ppm) /100% a.i./ /from table
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50; Species: Daphnia magna /(Water flea)/; Conditions: static; Concentration: 1.4 mg/L for 48 hr; Effect: intoxication, immobilization /99.4% a.i./ /from table
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Bronopol was not biodegraded using a mixed culture sewage sludge test(1). Bronopol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(2).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for bronopol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.64(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of bronopol can be estimated to be 1(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that bronopol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

12.5Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1Disposal 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.
