【Cleanup Methods】
SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.
Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place.

【Other Preventative Measures】
SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in such a manner so that there is no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance to ascertain the completeness of the cleaning procedures should be implemented before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.
SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.
Avoid long term exposure, even to small quantities. Keep away from flames and sparks.

Biomedical Effects and Toxicity

【Pharmacological Action】
- Chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of fungi in agricultural applications, on wood, plastics, or other materials, in swimming pools, etc.
【Therapeutic Uses】
Dithiocarbamates have ... been used to control various dermatophytes ... For example, tetramethylthiuram disulfide, incorporated in various soaps and lotions, has been used since 1942 for the treatment of scabies and other parasitic diseases of the skin in veterinary and human medicine ... Dithiocarbamates also have considerable biocidal activity against a number of protozoa. /Dithiocarbamates/
【Biomedical Effects and Toxicity】
Ethylenethiourea is a decomposition product and metabolite of the ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) group of fungicides. Following administration of single oral doses of (14)C ethylenethiourea to pregnant rats, maternal blood maintained peak radioactivity for 2 hr, and the radioactivity was dispersed uniformly between the RBC and plasma. The level of radioactivity was distributed equally among several maternal tissues but was present in lower amounts in embryos. 24 hr after treatment all tissues examined, except blood, were relatively clear of radioactivity, and 72.8% of the total radioactivity given had been excreted in the urine. Elution patterns of metabolites for Sephadex separation suggested that ethylenethiourea was degraded very little. /Ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) group of fungicides/ [Ruddick JA et al; Teratology 13 (1): 35 (1976)] PubMed Abstract
Mancozeb appears to be rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, distributed to target organs and excreted almost totally by 96 hr.
Rats dosed via a stomach tube with 20 mg (14)C-mancozeb per day for 7 days (equivalent to approx 100 mg/kg body weight) were killed one day after the last dose and the radioactivity in excreta and organs was measured. In the feces, urine, organs and tissues, and carcass, 71%, 16%, 0.31%, and 0.96% of the total radioactivity was detected, respectively. Specifically, the liver contained 0.19%, the kidneys, 0.076%, the thyroid gland, 0.003%, and all other organs, 
The pharmacokinetics of (14)C-mancozeb (11.54 mCi/g = 25,619 dpm/ug; suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose in distilled water) were studied in Sprague-Dawley CD rats (both sexes) treated with a single oral dose of 1.5 (Group A) or 100 mg/kg (Group B) or a pulse (oral) dose of 1.5 mg/kg (14)C-mancozeb (Group C) which followed 2 weeks of dietary administration of nonradiolabelled mancozeb (84% pure; 15 ppm a.i.). Rats were terminated 96 hours after (14)C-mancozeb treatment. Bile cannulation occurred in both sexes of rat treated at 1.5 (Group D) and 100 mg/kg (Group E) for assessment of excretion in bile at 24 hours. Approximately half of the oral dose of mancozeb was absorbed in rats. Results showed non-linear kinetics occurred between 100 and 1.5 mg/kg. Absorption was moderately rapid (peak levels in 3 and 6 hours at 1.5 and 100 mg/kg, respectively). Elimination was biphasic. Most of the oral dose was eliminated in excreta within 24 hours--evenly divided between feces and urine. Small amounts were excreted in the bile (2-9%). Thyroid contained the greatest concentrations and peak concentrations in thyroid were not proportional to dose. Thyroid (14)C-concentrations were disproportionately less than the respective peak blood levels after 100 mg/kg than after 1.5 mg/kg (14)C-mancozeb indicating saturation at the high dose. Pretreatment with dietary nonradiolabelled mancozeb did not significantly affect the disposition or excretion of (14)C-mancozeb. The in vivo conversion of mancozeb to ETU was determined to be 6.8%.

Environmental Fate and Exposure Potential

【Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary】
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 363(2) to >2,000(3) indicate that mancozeb is expected to have moderate to slight mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of mancozeb from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(2). Mancozeb is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.3X10-10 mm Hg(2). The biodegradation half-life of mancozeb in soil under aerobic conditions is 
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 363(2) to >2,000(3) indicate that mancozeb is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(2). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 4(SRC), from a log Kow of 1.33(2) and a regression-derived equation(6), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Hydrolysis rates for mancozeb have been reported from 
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), mancozeb, which has a vapor pressure of 1.3X10-10 mm Hg at 25 deg C(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase mancozeb may be removed from the air by wet or dry deposition(SRC). Mancozeb has a photolysis rate constant of >5.5/day in air which refers to a half-life of
