HANDLING PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT WITH METHYL BROMIDE

If carelessly handled, methyl bromide may be spilled on the skin surface. Since methyl bromide has a very low boiling point, very rapid evaporation takes place and wi thin a few seconds the methyl bromide will entirely disappear from the surface of exposed skin. From such casual contacts, little or no difficulty need be ant ... cipated. However if methyl bromide is spilled on clothing, gloves, or other materials covering the skin, such coverings may keep the methyl bromide in close and continuous contact with the skin. Since there is no particular sensation produced by such contact, methyl bromide may be maintained in contact with the skin for ex-tended periods of time without an awareness that this has occurred.

Where methyl bromide has remained in contact with the skin for some time, a blister commonly forms which is not unlike the blisters resul ting from thermal burns or severe chilling. Where blister formation has resulted from contact with methyl bromide, experience has shown that these seem to respond best to treatment when left intact. The blistered area is covered with a sterile petrolatum dressing which shoula be changed as required.

No one should be permitted to handle methyl bromide while wearing gloves, bandages, or occlusive dressing. Finger rings should be removed before handling the liquid product. Since methyl bromide will penetrate ord~nary rubber gloves, these also should not be used. Where methyl bromide has been spilled on the clothing, such clothing should be removed immediately and thoroughly cleaned anp aerated before being re-worn. .,. _.,

• The results of brief skin contact by methyl bromide' are mi Id,·,

• • very simply treated, and accompaniec by no serious after effects. ••

FOOD COMMODITIES . '" . . .. .

Methyl bromide has been used successfully for many yemrs.for the fumigations of a wide variety of commodities. The toil!:~ ..... nces::o:(: various comlT'-::-di ties for methyl bromide, however, vary COll"jitJ.erably. Therefore, unless the tolerance of a given commodity 'feU methyl bromide is known, consult Federal or State Experiment Station authorities or your dealer before fumigation is performed.

Precautions for the use of methyl bromide for fumigation of processed food and feedstuffs:

Overdosing and/or overexposure of any food or feed~~uff commodity should r~ avoided. When the prior history is not knuwn, or in those instances where a repeated fumigation is n~cessary, the commodity

- 3 -

should be analyzed for bromide residues before fumigation to ma1<e certain the proposed treatMent will not re~ult in residues that will exceed the tolerances established by the E.P.A. Special care must be exercised to determine whether methyl bromide fumigation of edible commodities will not result in above-tolerance bromide residues.

DETECTION EQUIPMENT

Detection equipment is a valuable aide to the fumigator. It can be used to help determine the success of a fumigation as well as protect the fumigator from over-exposure. There are several types of detection equipment available. Of the equjpment described here, only the detector tubes can be used to clear an area for re-entry.

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY GAS DETECTORS

This instrumentation is excellent for periodic determination of interior gas concentrations from outside the building. They are not, hO\-lever, sensitive enough to determine the health hazards presented by low concentrations of methyl bromide. !O'or more complete information, consult the U.S.D.A., the instrument manufacturers, or your Pesticide dealer. Units are available from Gow-Mac Instrument Company, 100 Kings Road, Madison, New Jersey 07940, and the Robert K. Hassler Company, Box 177, Altadena, California 91001.

THE HALIDE GAS DETECTOR

The Halide Gas Detector, which operates with a g~s flame, is the easiest and most useful means of determining the presence q£.absence of harmfUl concentrations of methyl bromide gas. The 'deteGtp;r:, consists of a torch which heats a copper plate, and art' :01:1 T 1!ub'e: through which the a r to be tested is passed over the hot' cop~c,-o. plate. If air contp~ns methyl bromide, a green or blue flame will ba' seen in the torch, depending on the concentration. ..: .•

If used properly, it will help to eliminate some of the,pr.actic~l hazards to the fumigator, and detect excessive leaks in a ~uilding:: Halide detectors are available from refrigeration supply:~o~~es .~~4. some hardware stores. •••• • ••••• .. .

•• • Please note that the Halide Gas Detector operates wrt~'an open

flame and, therefore, can be a hazard where dust or othp.r flammable materials are present. However, this type of detector can be used to determine whether areas in or around a mill are free from hazardous concentrations of the gas by simply drawing the air and gas from the building through 1/4" (.635cm) plastic or copper tubing to suitable outside areas where the use of this instrument is safe. For instance, areas in and around the top of a building can be checked from atop the roof, or gas from areas around the bottom of the building can be checked on the ground out-of-doors.

DETECTOR TUBES

This method uses a small hand held pump and methyl bromide detector tubes. Methyl bromide is drawn through small chemical reagent tubes in which the methyl bromide is decomposed by an ox:l.dizing agent to liberate bromine. The bromine concentration is then indicated by intensity of color formed in reaction with 0-tolidine. The detector tubes are capable of measuring methyl bromide concentrations of 2.5-500 ppm. Methyl bromide detector tubes and pumps listed below are available from safety supply distributors.

CONDITIONS OF EXPOSURE TO METHYL BROMIDE

Methyl bromide should be handled and applied only by individuals who are thoroughly trained in its proper use. The use of concentrations which vary from those recommended can result in injury to the user and/or damage to the commodities being fumigated.

Exposure of individuals to hazardous concentrations of methyl bromide can be avoided when using proper fumigation procedures. Under accidental conditions, however, such exposure may occur. FOllowing are possible symptoms of methyl bromide exposure:

Take the affected operator to a physician, or call a physician immediately. Under no conditions should this operator re-enter a methyl bromide atmosphere until he has received the approval of a physician. Since there is a possibility that the other members of tde crew have also been unnecessarily exposed to the gas, they too should refr::.in from re-entering the building. Another experienced crew should be called to complete the fumigation.

SUGGESTIONS FOR ATTENDING PHYSICIAN

Overexposure to ~ethyl bromide may produce serious effects on the central nervous system and it will also cause lung irritation. The resulting symptoms will bA proportionate to the concentration of the material and the duration of the exposure.

1. Nausea and vomiting may luire an antiemetic and it may be necessary to give it parenterally if vomiting is severe.

~. Cardiac embarrassmer.t may result in hypotension and it may be necessary to use a vasopressor.

3. Respiratory embarrassment should be treated with oxygen and it may be necessary to use oxygen under pressure. Ethyl alcohol vapor added to the oxygen may be considered if there is pulmonary edema, and the use of bronchodilators may be necessary if there is broncho-constriction.

4. If respiration fails, artificial respiration should be immediately instituted, preferably by mouth-to-mouth method.

5. Quick acting barbiturates should be used to control excitement or convulsions.

6. Patient should be hospitalized for at least 48 hours and observed for late respiratory and central nervous system effects.

There is some evidence that severe pneumonia m,&Y react dramatically to the employment of corticosteroid med'icati,<;>n.., Experience to date seems to indicate that if the individwH: 'survives: the more serious effects of acute exposure, his recovery' in .n,},l. . .. probability will be complete but may require a considerable period of time, depending on the severity of the exposure.

STRUCTURAL FUMIGANTS: METHYL BROMIDE

ATTENTION

READ THIS FACT SHEET COMPLETELY BEFORE SIGNING • . ' ,

Fumigation involves the introduction of poisonous gases into evc~l' part of the structure, inCluding inside the walls.,": 'Decause: overexposure to these gases can be harmful to people, your bui1dipg: wiil be ventilated before you will be allowed to return. "

This fact sheet provides basic information about the, st:w:-ucblHl'r, fumigant, methyl bromide, as well as information about w~~.and 'hb~ buildings ATe fumigated, methyl bromide health risks, how'~6 «now ~f •••••• you are expvsed, ways to minimize your exposure, and several phot1.~· numbers to call for more information. :,. • .•.•.

New rules for structural fumigation have substantially' ·1.11Crea~~<!· the time between fumigant us" and the time an occupant: Los' .allowed back into the building. Post-fumigation ventilation has aiso been improved significantly. These changes should be ade:;Iuately protective, but yml shoUld know some basic facts about structural fumigants.

Why Buildings Are Fumigated - Houses and other structures are fumigated to kiJ 1 insect pests living in walls or wood. There are sometiffias other ways to deal with these pests, and building owners shOUld investigate them. However, fumigation is sometimes t~e only method for handling extensive infestations of wood-destroying insects. You can discuss the possibility of alternatives with your pest control company.

[BEST IYAILlBLE CaP('

Why Buildings Ara Fumigated - There are two pesticides used for structural fumigations: methyl bromide and sulfuryl fluoride (known by the trade name, Vikane.) Each has advantages and disadvantages in terms of their effectiveness in killing pests which professional fumigator., can dL.cuss with yot... Your fumigator should also provide you with a list of items yo~. need to :..emove from your home before the fumigation starts.

Methyl bromide is a gas. Before fumigation starts, the building to be fumigated is completely sealed :nd covered with a tarp to keep the ga3 in the building so it can penetrate wood to kill the pests. The tarp is left on for one to two days. Warning signs are posted around the building notifying peopJe to keep out because the levels of the pesticide in the building during fumigation can kill a person.

After the tarp is removed, a professional fumigator will go into the building wearing a compressed air tank and mask and open the doors and windows. Powerfu:!. fans may also be set up to P'llll fresh air into the building.

It is now required that buildings fumigated with methyl bromide be aired out for a minimum of 72 hours after the tarp is removed. Then, the fumigators are required to measure the le~~ls of methyl bromide inside the walls of buildings to make sure they are below three parts per million before you are allowed to go back in.

The ventilation procedures make it unlikely that any remaining fumigant in the living space will be a health hazard after the house is cleared for reoccupancy. However, you should be aware of the symptoms of overexposure to methyl bromide, since it is sensible to be cautious when dealing with a potentially I.azardous chemical.

Small I,.0ckets of fumigant can remain in dead air space between walls and inside cabinets, and in porous material such as furniture, and may enter into the living space for a few days after fumigation. That's why a mandatory aeration period is required after the tarp is removed. Your building should no'c be cleared for reoccup~r.cy until it is safe for you to reenter. ,.

How Do You Know Whether You Are Exposed - Methyl brolR iQe ts 'a: colorless, odorless gas, so a warning agent is added whIch' Ca\~I3~~, watery eyes and a scre.tchy throat.

Birth defects: In recent animal studies, methyl bromide caused birth defects when pregnap.t animals were exposed under experimental conditions. There is no evidence that methyl bromide affects .human reproduction, although some chemicals which cause birth defects in animals may also cause birth defects in humans. Any p,~rson, including pregnant women, should avoid unnecessary exposure.

Other effects: It is not known whether long-term exposure to methyl bromide causes cancer. Experiments in animals are underway to study this, although tests so far are negative. However, even if methyl bromide were shown to cause cancer over a lifetime of exposure in animals, it is unlikely that your exposure from the one-time fumigation of y..>ur building would be high enough to cause a significant risk of cancer.

Ways To Reduce Your Exposure If You Are Hav~ng Your Building Fumigated -

- Carefully evaluate all your pest ~ontrol alternatives. - Talk over your treatment program in advance with the pest

control company, so you fully understand what will be done, and what you need to do.

- Carefully follow the instructions you ere given about items you are to remove from your buildir.g.

- stay out of the treated building for at least three days after tha tarp is removed. If you have additionaL concerns, you may choose to be away for an extra period of tim.:! after the building is cleared for reoccupation.

- If you are int&rested or concerned, you can ask your pest control company to show you the records of the air monitoring it did before your building was cleared for reoccupation.

- You may wish to increase ventilation by opening ooors and windows.

- If you have symptoms of exposure, or you believe that thE'!, aeration was not done properly, you should leave the ouil(iing: and contact the pest control company and y'·ur physician. ,l?':'v, may also wish to call one of the phone numbers listed below. "
