3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Acute Effects
Swallowed:
The concentrate is moderately toxic. Small amounts swallowed incidental to
normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury. However, swallowing
larger quantities may cause serious injury or even death. If the liquid entered
the lungs it may cause lungs injury or even death due to pneumonia.
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. Causes redness and pain..
Skin:
Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation. No evidence of skin
sensitization during manufacturing.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of excessive amount of spray may cause cholinesterase inhibition.
Prolonged exposure to solvent may cause respiratory irritation and central
nervous system depression.
Chronic effects:
A measurable change in plasma and red blood cell cholinesterase levels were
seen in workers exposed to Chlorpyrifos spray.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid:
Swallowed:
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor. Do not give fluids or induce vomiting if
person is unconscious or having convulsions. Get affected person to a doctor
or hospital promptly.
Eye:
Immediately flush yes with plenty of water for atleast 15 minutes,
occassionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Get medical attention
immediatley.
Skin:
Remove contaminated clothing at once, wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

First Aid Facilities:
Obtain an emergency supply of Atropine injection.
Advice to doctor:
A cholinesterase inhibitor. Treat symptomatically. In case of poisoning, use
antidote immediately after establishing an open airway and respiration.
Atropine injection is the profaned antidote. Oximes, such as PAM protoplasm
may be used in conjunction with atropine.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
> 27 C
Flash point:
Toxic gases containing oxides of sulphur and phosphorous may be evolved
if involved in fires or exposed to extreme heat. Breathable air apparatus may
be required in confined area. Stay upwind.
Extinguishing Media:
Water fog, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Alcohol resistant foams are
preferred if available.
Special fire fighting procedures:
Fire fighters should use self contained breathing apparatus. Prevent runoff of
fire water. Avoid exposure to smoke.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Contain spill and absorb with sand or proprietary absorbent (vermiculite).
Prevent from entering drains, waterway or sewers. Collect in sealed open
top containers for disposal.
Disposal:
Triple rinse containers, add rinsate to the spray tank, then offer container for
recycling/reconditioning, or puncture top, sides and bottom and dispose of in
landfill in accordance with local regulations. On-site disposal of concentrate is
not acceptable.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Keep out of reach of children, do not store with food, feed or other material
to be used or consumed by humans or animals. Do not contaminate water
supplies, lakes, streams, or ponds. Store in a secure, dry, well-ventilated
area, segregated from oxidizers and incompatible materials. Protect from
moisture.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards:
Exposure standard for Chlorpyrifos: 0.2 mg/m3 (OSHA PEC)
Engineering Controls:
Natural ventilation only required when handling the concentrate. A local
exhaust should be used in confined areas to keep the level of solvent within
acceptable limits.
Personnel Protection:
The concentrate is harmful, skin absorption is the most common route of
exposure. May be irritated the eyes and skin. Repeated minor exposure may
have cumulative effects. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and avoid
breathing the vapour. Do not inhale the spray mist. When opening the
container of concentrate and preparing the spray, wear cotton overalls
buttoned to the neck and wrist, washable hat and elbow-length PVC gloves.
When using in an enclosed area wear face shield. If product spilled on skin
wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. After use and before
eating drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms, face thoroughly with soap and
water. After each day鈥檚 use, wash gloves, face shield and contaminated
clothing. Do not eat or smoke while spraying.
