Azinphosmethyl

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

This highly toxic material is rapidly hydrolyzed by cold alkali. Use 5 parts by volume 4% wt/vol sodium hydroxide soln to 1 volume of pesticide. Hydrolysis is improved by making the sodium hydroxide soln in 50% ethanol. ... Large amt - Incinerate in a unit with effluent gas scrubbing. (Peer-review conclusions of an IRPTC expert consultation (May 1985))

Hydrolysis: Alkaline hydrolysis leads to complete degradation: the alkaline salt of dimethyldithiophosphoric acid and the anthranilic acid formed are nontoxic. Oxidation: Complete degradation but the gutoxon formed is equally toxic. For the decontamination of glass and metal containers triple rinse and use of a rinse soln containing caustic soda and detergent are considered.

Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law. If these cannot be disposed of by use according to label instruction, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. /Azinphosmethyl 50W Soluble/

Container Disposal: Completely empty bad into application equipment. Then dispose of empty bag into a sanitary landfill or by incineration, or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. /Azinphosmethyl 50W Soluble/
