21. PESTICIDE RESISTANCE:

Some insect populations may be resistant to this product.

22. TOXICITY:

Poison schedule - S6

Summary:

A moderately toxic product. However, low level repeated exposures may cause a cumulative poisoning effect.

Details:

Mammalian toxicity - Repeated low level exposure may cause a cumulative toxic effect. Good hygiene is required when using this product.

Acute oral LD50 - 1434 mg/kg (rats), [For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]

Acute dermal LD50 - > 10 mg/kg (rabbit).

Skin - May cause redness and irritation. Toxic when in contact with skin.

Eye - Causes redness, tears and blurred vision.

Vapour inhalation - LC50 - > 12 mg/L air (rat).

Chronic oral toxicity NOEL - ppm for two years.

Not mutagenic or teratogenic (i.e.. does not cause cancer or reproductive problems).

Other Species -

Birds - toxicity. Moderately toxic. LD50 = 350 mg/kg. NOEL on reproduction 5-20 ppm.

Fish - toxicity LC50 > 1000-1725 ppm.

Invertebrates - toxicity.

Bees - toxicity.

23. TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:

Headache, dizziness, weakness, pupil constriction, excess salivation, nasal discharge, sweating, abdominal cramps, nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting. Severe poisoning may cause incontinence, unconsciousness, convulsions and death.

24. FIRST AID:

For oral intake:

Contact a doctor or poison information centre on 008 119 244.

Give atropine (0.6mg) tablets every quarter hour then every half hour until signs of flushed face, dilated pupils, dry mouth and fast pulse appear. Medical attention must be sought after taking atropine.

Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin.

If breathing has stopped apply resuscitation

Poisoning usually occurs through skin absorption. Effects are cumulative and dangerous levels may develop before symptoms become noticeable. If you are exposed to organophosphate for more than 30 hours per month then levels of acetylcholinesterase enzyme should be regularly checked. If levels drop below 60% of normal then work with organophosphates should stop until levels improve. This may take several weeks.
