EXPOSURE
STRICT HYGIENE! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
  • INHALATION
    		• Pupillary constriction, muscle cramp, excessive salivation. Sweating. Nausea. Dizziness. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. Vomiting.
    		Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
  • SKIN
    		• MAY BE ABSORBED! (Further see Inhalation).
    		Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.
  • EYES
    		• Blurred vision.
    		Face shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION
    		• Abdominal cramps. Nausea. Vomiting Diarrhoea. (see Inhalation).
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
    		Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS)! Rest. Refer for medical attention.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     COLOURLESS OR PALE YELLOW LIQUID.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes including phosphoric acid and phosphorous oxides. Reacts violently with strong oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. Attacks iron, stainless steel, brass, some forms of plastics, rubber and coatings.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV: 0.01 ppm; 0.092 mg/m3 (as TWA) (skin) (ACGIH 1997).
    TLV (as STEL): 0.03 ppm; 0.27 mg/m3 (ACGIH 1997).


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

    INHALATION RISK:
     A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20░C.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
     The substance may cause effects on the nervous system , resulting in convulsions, respiratory failure. Cholinesterase inhibitor. Exposure far above OEL may result in death. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
    Decomposes below boiling point at 300░C
    Melting point: 6.9░C
    Relative density (water = 1): 1.25
    		 Solubility in water: miscible
    Vapour pressure, Pa at 21░C: 0.38
    Flash point: 79.5░C o.c.
    ENVIRONMENTAL
    DATA
         		The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to birds. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
    NOTES
    Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. Apavinfos, Duraphos, Fosdrin, Gesfid and Phosdrin are trade names.
