Fresh air, rest. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .

Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

Vapor irritates eyes. Ingestion causes depression, lachrymation, labored respiration, diarrhea. (USCG, 1999)

Immediate first aid: Remove patient from contact with the material. 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 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. Dithiocarbamates and Related Compounds

Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating and toxic gases are produced in a fire; they may include sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, phosgene, and oxides of nitrogen. (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.

Personal 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 containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Wear respiratory protection. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

NIOSH considers captan to be a potential occupational carcinogen.

Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic fumes including sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride and phosgene.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Captan may burn, but does not ignite readily.CAPTAN decomposes at or near the melting point. This chemical is incompatible with strong alkaline and oxidizing materials, sulfur and (sulfur + moisture). (NTP, 1992)

no data available

Incompatible materials: Strong bases

Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions - Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides, hydrogen chloride gas.

Classification of carcinogenicity: 1) evidence in humans: no adequate data; 2) evidence in animals: limited evidence. Overall summary evaluation of carcinogenic risk to humans is Group 3: The agent is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. From table

No information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of captan in humans. Evidence on the reproductive and developmental effects of captan in animals is conflicting. In one study where animals were orally exposed, captan was fetotoxic in high-dosed rabbits, a slight reduction in fetal weight was observed in high-dosed rats, and increased resorptions were observed in high-dosed hamsters. Some abnormalities were observed in another study. Other studies have reported no effects.

The substance is irritating to the eyes and skin.

Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.

A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

AEROBIC: (14)C-Labeled captan, present at 50 ppm, was degraded 25% in 8 weeks using a Mexico-Putnam silt loam representative of claypan soils in north Missouri. Crop residues slightly increased degradation(1). A half-life of 2.5 days in soil has been reported in an Italian study, details were not provided(2). Carbonyl-radio-labeled captan, applied to a sandy loam, was degraded 99% after 7 days, 95% of the radio-label was found as CO2 after 322 days(3). Trichloromethyl-radio-labeled captan had a half-life in sandy loam soil of <1 day; 46% of the radio-label was present as CO2 after 1 day and 19.4% was found as parent compound(3). Half-lives of less than one day were reported for captan in two separate aerobic water/sediment systems(3). Captan was degraded 100% in 3 hours from an initial concentration of 50 ug/L in an activated sludge test(4). However, captan, 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(5) which may be due to toxicity to microorganisms(SRC).

A measured BCF of 126 was reported for captan in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) in a 28 day study(1). A BAF of 113 (wholefish) was determined for captan in a 28-day study using bluegill sunfish(2). After a 14-day depuration period, concentrations declined by 95%(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).

Koc values of 33, 67, 115, 100-600(1), and 200(2) have been reported for captan. According to a classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggest that captan is expected to generally have high to moderate mobility in soil(SRC). A measured organic matter partition coefficient for captan in soil with 3.53% organic matter is 115(4). In field studies at six different sites, however, captan was shown to have slight to no mobility(5). One study predicted that captan would leach <10 cm in a loam soil at 25 deg C under annual rainfall of 150 cm(6). Turf thatch has been shown to increase sorption by a factor of 10(7).

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.

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. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
