3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
- Milky green liquid with a slight mercaptan odor.
- Moderately combustible. May support combustion if heated above the
product's
flash point (see 'Fire Fighting Measures' in Section 5).
- Thermal decomposition and burning may form toxic by-products.
- For large exposures or fire, wear personal protective equipment.
- Highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Keep out of drains and water
courses.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Effects from overexposure result
from absorption through the skin or eyes. Symptoms of overexposure include
headache, light-headedness, weakness, abdominal cramps, nausea, excessive
salivation, perspiration, blurred vision, tearing, pin-point pupils, blue skin color,
convulsions, tremor and coma.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: See "Notes to
Medical Doctor' in Section 4 below.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and
persists, obtain medical attention.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
INGESTION: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. If any discomfort persists, obtain medical
attention.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or
discomfort occurs and persists, contact a medical doctor.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product has low oral,
dermal and inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes and
non-irritating to the skin. Atropine sulfate is antidotal. Support respiration
as needed with removal of secretions, maintenance of a patent airway and,
if necessary, artificial ventilation. If cyanosis is absent: Adults - start
treatment by giving 2 mg atropine intravenously or intramuscularly, if
necessary, and repeat with 0.4 - 2.0 mg atropine at 15 minute intervals
until atropinization occurs (tachycardia, flushed skin, dry mouth,
mydrasis); Children under 12 - initial dose = 0.05 mg/kg body weight and
repeat dose = 0.02 - 0.05 mg/kg body weight. Start 2-PAM (Protopam庐,
Ayerst庐) at the same time, following manufacturer's recommended
dosages and administration. Morphine, reserpine, phenothiazines and
theophylline are probably contraindicated. At first sign of pulmonary
edema, the patient should be given supplemental oxygen and treated
symptomatically. Observe patient to insure that these symptoms do not
recur as atropinization wears off. If in eyes, instill one drop of
homatropine. Contains aromatic hydrocarbons that can produce a severe
pneumonitis if aspirated during vomiting. Consideration should be given
to gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in place. Treatment is
otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and
supportive care. Some individuals have a genetically determined low level
of plasma pseudocholinesterase. These persons are particularly vulnerable
to the action of the muscle-paralyzing drug succinylcholine, often
administered to surgical patients. They may be unusually sensitive to
organophosphate toxicity; this has not yet been proven. Patients with
advanced liver disease, malnutrition, chronic alcoholism and
dermatomyositis exhibit low plasma cholinesterase activities. Some
cholinesterase depression may occur during early stages of pregnancy or
with use of birth control pills.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT AND METHOD: 89 - 92掳C (192 - 198掳F) (TCC)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft
stream water fog only if necessary. Contain all runoff.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Moderately combustible. When heated
above the flash point, this material releases vapors which, when mixed
with air, can burn or be explosive.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate
downwind. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors generated.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and phosphorus pentoxide.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective
clothing and personal protective equipment as prescribed in Section 8,
"Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons and
animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Dike
to confine spill and absorb with a non-combustible absorbent such
as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump waste into a drum
and label contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with
a suitable solution (i.e., bleach or caustic/soda ash and either
ethylene glycol or an appropriate alcohol, i.e., methanol, ethanol or
isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water
solution. Absorb as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums
of waste already collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of
drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13,
"Disposal Considerations".
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
place. Do not use or store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in
original containers only. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Do
not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage
or disposal.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL
PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations
where vapor or mist may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to
unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical
protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For splash, mist or spray exposure wear, as a
minimum, a properly fitted half-face or full-face air-purifying respirator
which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN or
comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must
be based on airborne concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations
encountered, wear coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering.
For larger exposures as in the case of spills, wear full body cover barrier
suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed.
Launder all work clothing before reuse (separately from household
laundry).
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available
for washing in case of eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to
eating, drinking or using tobacco. Shower at the end of the workday.
GLOVES:
Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as nitrile, Viton庐
brand or PVA materials. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap
and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks
COMMENTS: Personal protective recommendations for mixing or applying
this product are prescribed on the product label. Information stated above
provides useful, additional guidance for individuals whose use or handling of this

INHALATION LC50: >3.87 mg/L/4 hour (rat) (maximum attainable
concentration)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has
low oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the
eyes and non-irritating to the skin. Cadusafos is a cholinesterase-inhibiting
pesticide which elicits symptoms in humans typical of cholinesterase
inhibition including headaches, light-headedness, weakness, abdominal
cramps, nausea, excessive salivation, perspiration and blurred vision.
More severe signs of cholinesterase inhibition include tearing, pin-point
pupils, excessive respiratory secretions, cyanosis, convulsions, generalized
tremor and coma. Excessive cholinesterase inhibition can result in death.
Reduction of blood acetylcholinesterase levels can occur without
symptoms of toxicity. Inhalation of aromatic hydrocarbon vapors may
cause dizziness, disturbances in vision, drowsiness, respiratory irritation,
and eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation. Vomiting after ingestion of
this product may cause aspiration of aromatic hydrocarbons into the lungs
which may result in fatal pulmonary edema.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data
available for the formulation. In studies with laboratory animals,
cadusafos did not cause reproductive toxicity, teratogenicity or
carcinogenicity. Chronic exposure of laboratory animals to cadusafos
caused decreased erythrocyte and plasma cholinesterase activity levels. An
overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicity
testing with cadusafos, although it did cause a positive response in the cell
transformation assay, but only in the presence of metabolic activation.
Chronic exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons may cause headaches,
dizziness, loss of sensations or feelings (such as numbness), and liver and
kidney damage. Chronic exposure to high concentrations of urea may
result in damage to the eyes. Urea is irritating to bodily tissues and may
cause pain and necrosis, including thrombosis.
CARCINOGENICITY:
IARC: Not listed
NTP: Not listed
OSHA: Not listed
OTHER: Not Listed (ACGIH)
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Cadusafos has a half-life in soil of
approximately 45 days which varies somewhat by soil type. The
hydrolysis half-life of cadusafos is between 29 to 35 days in the pH region
of 5 to 9. It is moderately mobile in soil and has a Log Pow of 3.9. This
value, in association with a bioconcentration factor of 220, suggests that
there will be little potential for bioaccumulation in the environment.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: With LC50 values
of 1.6 碌g/L to 170 碌g/L to fish and aquatic arthropods in the laboratory,
cadusafos is considered highly toxic. The aquatic arthropods are more
sensitive than the fish. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the
aquatic environment. Cadusafos is also considered highly toxic to upland
game birds (oral LD50 = 16.4 mg/kg, bobwhite quail) and moderately
toxic to waterfowl (oral LD50 = 230 mg/kg, mallard).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or
its packaging is prohibited. If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use
according to label instructions, an acceptable method of disposal is to
incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws,
rules, standards and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of
disposal may vary by location and regulatory requirements may change,
the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers which held this
material should be cleaned, prior to disposal, by triple rinsing. Containers
which held this material may be cleaned by being triple-rinsed, and
recycled, with the rinsate being incinerated. Do not cut or weld metal
containers. Vapors that form may create an explosion hazard.
