UN 3027 — Coumarin derivative pesticide, solid, poisonous
Placard: Toxic. ERG Guide 151. Training/quick-reference only — use current ERG + SOP/SOG for incident-specific actions.
Coumarin derivative pesticide, solid, poisonous is a solid pesticide formulation assigned to UN 3027. It should be treated as a toxic pesticide product until the active ingredient, carrier solvent and concentration are confirmed from shipping papers and the SDS.
Hazard overview: The main concern with UN 3027 is toxic exposure from the pesticide formulation. Dermal absorption, inhalation of vapors or dust, ingestion, contaminated runoff and toxic fire gases are the response priorities.
Response guidance: For UN 3027, avoid raising dust, isolate the spill and keep personnel upwind. Use dry containment methods where possible and prevent contaminated runoff. If fire involves packages, use media suitable for the surrounding fire while protecting responders from toxic smoke.
Firefighter training notes: Train responders to treat UN 3027 as a toxic pesticide release, verify the exact product, control runoff and avoid skin contact during rescue, containment and decon.
Regulatory context: UN 3027 is regulated for transport as a hazardous pesticide entry. Product labels, shipping papers, SDS and local environmental reporting rules should guide final actions.
Storage & handling: Store UN 3027 away from food, feed, drains, ignition sources where applicable and incompatible chemicals. Keep containers closed, labeled and protected from heat or physical damage.
UN 3027 Quick Details
Common Hazards of UN 3027
- Coumarin derivative pesticide pesticide solids may be toxic if dust is inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin.
- Dust or contaminated powder can spread beyond the visible spill area.
- Fire or heating may release toxic pesticide decomposition products.
- Runoff from fire control can carry contaminated material into drains or soil.
- Avoid skin and eye contact with powder, granules or contaminated packaging.
- Exact active ingredient and concentration depend on the shipped formulation.
Chemical Identity & Physical Properties
Typically appears as a white to tan crystalline powder or granular solid. Odorless or slight characteristic odor. Solid at room temperature. Product-specific appearance and odor should not be used as the only identification method.

PPE Requirements
Use SCBA when dust or smoke is possible and chemical-resistant clothing that prevents contact with contaminated powder or granules. Use careful decontamination to avoid secondary exposure.
Isolation & Evacuation
First Actions for a UN 3027 Incident
- Call 911 and the emergency response number on the shipping paper, if available.
- Keep unauthorized personnel away and establish incident command.
- Stay upwind, uphill and upstream; avoid low areas where vapors may collect.
- Avoid breathing vapors, dust, mist or fire gases and prevent skin or eye contact.
- Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material without appropriate PPE.
- Ventilate confined spaces only when trained, equipped and authorized.
- Use ERG 151, SDS, shipping papers and monitoring to confirm product hazards before close approach.
