EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number U155, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste.

RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-approved half face respirator equipped with a combination filter cartridge, i.e. organic vapor/acid gas/HEPA (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas, SO2 and a high efficiency particulate filter).

Methapyrilene was found in the blood of 16 persons who died of non-drug related causes in Maryland between 1975 and 1980 at concn ranging from 0.1 to 7.2 mg/l and at an avg concn of 1.8 mg/l(1). It also was found in the blood of 2 persons who had apparently committed suicide by ingesting unknown amounts of methapyrilene; the range of concn found in these suicide victims was 0.5-9.8 mg/l and the average concn was 5.2 mg/l(1).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: If methapyrilene is released to soil, it will be expected to exhibit low mobility in soil(1,SRC) based upon an estimated Koc of 737(2-3,SRC). Methapyrilene, therefore, may very slowly leach through soil to groundwater(3,SRC). It should not hydrolyze in moist soil(2). Based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.74X10-7 atm-cu m/mole (which was calculated from an estimated water solubility(2-3,SRC) and an extrapolated vapor pressure(4,SRC), volatilization of methapyrilene from moist near-surface soil should not be significant(2,SRC). It is not known whether methapyrilene biodegrades in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: If methapyrilene is released to water, it may be susceptible to direct photolysis in the atmosphere since the compound absorbs light at wavelengths >290 nm(1). It should not hydrolyze(2), bioconcentrate signficantly in aquatic organisms(2-3,SRC), or strongly adsorb to sediment or suspended sediments(2-3,SRC). Based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.74X10-7 atm-cu m/mole (which was calculated from an estimated water solubility(2-3,SRC) an an extrapolated vapor pressure(4,SRC), volatilization of methapyrilene from water should not be significant(2,SRC). It is not known whether methapyrilene biodegrades in natural water(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: If methapyrilene is released to the atmosphere, it will be expected to exist in both vapor and particulate phases, based upon(2) a vapor pressure of 7.0X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C which was extrapolated from vapor pressure data at higher temperatures(4,SRC). It may be susceptible to direct photolysis in the atmosphere since the compound absorbs light at wavelengths >290 nm(1). It should react rapidly with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals based upon an estimated rate constant for this process of 185X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C which corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of 2.1 hr at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(2,SRC).

An estimated BCF of 71 can be calculated(2,SRC) from an estimated log Kow of 2.74(1) using a recommended regression equation(2,SRC). Based upon this estimated BCF, methapyrilene will not be expected to significantly bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms (SRC).

Based upon an estimated water solubility of 879 mg/l(1,3,SRC) and a vapor pressure of 7.0X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C which was extrapolated from vapor pressure data at higher temperatures(2,SRC), the Henry's Law Constant for methapyrilene has been calculated to be 2.74X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC). Volatilization of methapyrilene from water and moist soil should not be significant based upon the low value for the Henry's Law constant(3,SRC).

Methapyrilene is negative in most short-term tests for genotoxicity, but some positive results have been noted. An unusual finding, as yet unexplained, is the considerable increase in the number of mitochondria in liver cells of rats given this drug.

Methapyrilene may be susceptible to direct photolysis since the compound absorbs light at wavelength >290 nm(1). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of methapyrilene with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated to be 185X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C which corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of 2 hr at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hdyroxyl radicals per cu cm(2,SRC). Hydrolysis is not expected to be significant under normal environmental conditions (pH 5-9)(3).

U155; As stipulated in 40 CFR 261.33, when methapyrilene, as a commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate or an off-specification commercial chemical product or a manufacturing chemical intermediate, becomes a waste, it must be managed according to Federal and/or State hazardous waste regulations. Also defined as a hazardous waste is any residue, contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into water or on dry land, of this waste. Generators of small quantities of this waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR 261.5).

Persons in charge of vessels or facilities are required to notify the National Response Center (NRC) immediately, when there is a release of this designated hazardous substance, in an amount equal to or greater than its reportable quantity of 5,000 lb or 2270 kg. The toll free telephone number of the NRC is (800) 424-8802; in the Washington metropolitan area (202) 426-2675. The rule for determining when notification is required is stated in 40 CFR 302.6 (see section IV. D.3.b).
