Health Effects

From MSDS
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
- HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED
- CAUSES MODERATE EYE IRRITATION
- AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES OR CLOTHING
- KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: The undiluted product may be moderately irritating to the eyes. Eye contact may include discomfort, tearing, swelling, redness, and blurred vision. Read the Toxicology Information section (11) for more information.
SKIN: The undiluted product is considered a slight skin irritant. Skin irritation may include discoloration, itching and swelling. This substance is slightly toxic to internal organs if absorbed through the skin. The degree of injury will depend on the amount absorbed.
INGESTION: This substance is slightly toxic to internal organs if swallowed. The degree of injury will depend on the amount absorbed from the gut.
INHALATION: If inhaled, this substance is considered practically non-toxic to internal organs. This substance may be irritating if inhaled.
TARGET ORGANS: Chlorpyrifos is an inhibitor of the cholinesterase enzyme, found in nervous tissue, red blood cells, and plasma.
COMMENTS HEALTH: Depending upon the extent and degree of overexposure to the product, signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition can result following either ingestion, skin contact or inhalation routes of exposure. Signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition can result from either acute (one time), subchronic (repeated short-term) and chronic (daily life-time) overexposure to the product.
Signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition usually occur within 12 hours following overexposure. These effects may include, but may not be limited to, headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constriction of the pupil of the eye, blurred or dark vision, excessive salivation or nasal discharge, profuse sweating and abdominal cramps. Incontinence, unconsciousness, convulsions and breathing difficulties are indicative of severe poisoning. In untreated severe poisoning, death is due to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.

NEUROTOXICITY: Chlorpyrifos is not considered to produce organophosphate induced delayed neuropathy. However, certain human anecdotal cases, involving the ingestion of lethal doses of chlorpyrifos, survived because of immediate aggressive antidotal therapy and respiratory support, later developed temporary signs of neuropathy.
TERATOGENICITY: Chlorpyrifos in not considered to be a teratogen (a substance that causes birth defects).
REPRODUCTIVE TOXIN: Chlorpyrifos is not considered to be a reproductive toxin.
MUTAGENICITY: Chlorpyrifos is not considered to be a mutagen.

CARCINOGENICITY COMMENTS:
Chlorpyrifos is not considered to be a carcinogen. There were no carcinogenic findings in any of the chronic animal toxicology investigations. The signs of systemic toxicity were primarily due to inhibition of cholinesterase.

From MSDS
EYES: Flush eyes immediately with fresh water for at least 15 minutes while holding the eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if worn. No additional first aid should be necessary. However, if irritation persists, see a doctor.
SKIN: If on skin, remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with plenty of soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: If swallowed call a physician or poison control center: (800) 454-2333. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION: Since this material is not expected to be an immediate inhalation problem, no first aid procedures are required. If respiratory discomfort or irritation occurs, move the person to fresh air. See a doctor if discomfort or irritation continues.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: This material contains a cholinesterase inhibitor. Measurement of blood cholinesterase activity may be useful in monitoring exposure. If signs of cholinesterase inhibition appear, atropine sulfate is antidotal. 2-PAM (PROTOPAM) is also antidotal and may be used in conjunction with atropine but should not be used alone.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Medical Information: Call day or night, 1-800-454-2333 OR 1-800-457-2022.
