Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Aggressive airway control may be needed. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary .

Pirimicarb degraded in a cultivated and non-cultivated sandy loam obtained from Berlin, Germany(1). Following application of pirimicarb to the surface layer of the cultivated and uncultivated soil, approximately 66% (cultivated soil) and 60% degradation (uncultivated soil) was observed after 3 days(1). After 7 days approximately 75% (cultivated soil) and 73% (uncultivated soil) was observed(1). The half-life of pirimicarb is reported to range from 7-234 days, depending upon the conditions of the soil(2). The half-life of pirimicarb in soil was reported as 69 days(3). Pirimicarb has been classified as a persistent pesticide with a biodegradation half-life of 208 days in soil at 20 deg C(4). The degradation of pirimicarb in 2 agricultural soils (a clay and silt loam) from the Netherlands was studied over a 7 week incubation period(5). The biodegradation rate constant in the two soils were found to be 0.0125 and 0.0136 day-1, which correspond to half-lives of 55 and 51 days, respectively(5). The half-life of pirimicarb in a moist, sandy loam (pH 8.6, 1.8% organic matter) obtained from northern China was about 9 days, with a lag period of about 3 days(6).

An estimated BCF of 4 was calculated for pirimicarb(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.7(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).

The Koc of pirimicarb in soil was reported as 1,387(1), but no details of the soil conditions were provided and the adsorption of pirimicarb is greatly dependent upon the characteristics of the soil(SRC). The adsorption of pirimicarb in 21 different soils was studied(2). The greatest adsorption was observed in soils with a high clay content and low percentage of organic matter(2). Relatively weak adsorption was observed in soils containing a high percentage of organic carbon(2). Using the adsorption coefficient (Kd) and percentage of organic carbon present in the soil, Koc values ranging from about 56 to 270 were calculated for soils with organic carbon content of 1% or greater(SRC). The mobility of pirimicarb was significantly attenuated by soils with a large percentage of clay and a low percentage of organic matter(SRC). The mobility of pirimicarb was studied in 10 soils and smectites(3). Using the adsorption coefficient (Kd) and percentage of organic carbon present in the soil, Koc values of 270 and 800 were calculated for 2 soils with organic carbon content of approximately 1%(SRC). The adsorption was significantly greater in the other 8 soils with a low percentage of organic matter(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that pirimicarb is expected to have high to low mobility in soil depending upon the conditions(SRC). Pirimicarb was shown to have low mobility in experiments conducted with cultivated and uncultivated sandy loams having pH 6.7 and organic matter of 2.27%(5). Approximately 53-66% of the initially applied 14C-Pirimicarb remained in the upper layer (0-1 cm) of these soils after 7 days with less than 10 % migrating to the lower layer (4-10 cm depth)(5). Other experiments using a sandy loam from northern China (pH 8.6, 1.8% organic matter) showed that pirimicarb was weakly sorbed to the soil surface(6).

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.
