Ingredients CAS No Proportion
Chlorpyrifos* 2921-88-2 50%
Hydrocarbon solvent 64742-94-5 48%
Other ingredients determined not to be hazardous -- <10%
*Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate compound: O,O-diethyl O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl)
phosphorothioate.
SECTION 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Label Regulated First If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
Aid Statement Phone Australia 131126. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting,
give a glass of water. If swallowed, give one atropine tablet every 5
minutes until dryness of the mouth occurs 鈥? if poisoned by skin
absorption or through lungs, remove any contaminated clothing,
wash skin thoroughly and give atropine tablets as above. Get to a
doctor or hospital quickly. If in eyes, hold open, flood with water
for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.
General Chlorpyriphos is an organophosphate compound. Most cases of
organophosphate poisoning result from skin absorption due to
inadequate protection during preparation or use. Organophosphates
act by inhibiting cholinesterase. Some symptoms of overexposure
that can arise if the product is mishandled are:
鈥? Mild: headache blurred vision, weakness, giddiness, sweating,
mild chest pain, nausea and vomiting.
鈥? Severe: cyanosis, muscular twitching, spasms, miosis and
respiratory paralysis.
Ensure washing facilities are available.
THIS PRODUCT IS TOO HAZARDOUS FOR USE BY
HOUSEHOLDERS. HOUSEHOLDERS MUST NOT USE
THIS PRODUCT IN OR AROUND THE HOME.
Scheduled Poisons Poisons Information Centres in each State capital city can provide
additional assistance for scheduled poisons. Phone 131126.
Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air. Give one atropine tablet every 5
minutes until dryness of the mouth occurs. Seek medical advice.
Show this MSDS to a medical practitioner.
Skin contact Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas with plenty of
soap and water. Give one atropine tablet every 5 minutes until

Advice to doctor See also Chapter 11. Apply basic aid and decontamination
procedures. Treat symptomatically and if necessary apply artificial
respiration and administer antidote.
Antidote is atropine sulfate. Administer at 5-10 minute intervals
until dryness of the mouth occurs. This will relieve the muscarinic
effects. Atropine should not be given to a cyanosed patient.
In cases of severe poisoning (respiratory depression and muscle
twitching) administer pralidoxime (preferably less than 48 hours
after exposure) to relieve the nicotinic effects.
