*USES:
      This chemical is used as an insecticide, pediculicide, scabicide,
 ectoparasiticide and a pesticide.  It is also used as a foliar spray and
 soil application for insecticidal control of a broad spectrum of phyto-
 phagous and soil dwelling insects, animal ectoparasites and public health
 pests.  It is used on ornamentals, fruit trees, nut trees, vegetables,
 tobacco and timber.  This chemical is found in baits and seed treatments
 for rodent control.  It acts as a stomach and contact poison and has some
 fumigant action.  It has been of value in the control of malaria and other
 vector-borne diseases and in the control of grasshoppers, cotton insects,
 rice insects, wireworms and other soil pests.  It is used in pet shampoo
 to maintain the natural luster of the coat and aid in the prevention of ticks,
 lice and sarcoptic mange mites.  It is also used on patients in the treatment
 of head and crab lice and their ova.

*COMMENTS: Not available


-HANDLING PROCEDURES
 ===================

*ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS:
      This chemical is toxic by ingestion, inhalation or skin absorption [033,
 062,269].  It is a toxic irritant [275].  Oils may enhance absorption [158].
 This chemical can irritate the eyes, skin and respiratory tract [058].  When
 heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of chlorine, hydrochloric acid
 and phosgene [043].

*MINIMUM PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Not available

*RECOMMENDED GLOVE MATERIALS:
 GlovES+ Expert System Glove Types For The Neat (Undiluted) Chemical:
      This chemical has not been tested for permeation by Radian Corporation;
 however, the GlovES+ expert system was used to extrapolate permeation test
 information from compounds in the same chemical class.  The GlovES+ system uses
 permeation data from literature sources; therefore, extra safety margins should
 be used with the estimated protection time(s).  If this chemical makes direct
 contact with your glove, or if a tear, puncture or hole develops, replace them
 at once.
      The GlovES+ expert system is a tool that can help people better manage
 protection from chemicals, however this tool cannot replace sound judgment nor
 make technical decisions.  Our GlovES+ expert system is designed to offer
 initial advice and assistance in glove selection while the final glove
 selection should be made by knowledgeable individuals based on the specific
 circumstances involved.

 Glove Type            Model Number      Thickness   Estimated Protection Time
 Viton                 North F-091       0.33  mm            480 min
 PE/EVOH/PE            Safety 4 4H       0.07  mm            240 min
 PVA                   Edmont PVA        0.68  mm            240 min
 Nitrile               Edmont 37-155     0.34  mm            120 min

*RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR:
      Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-
 approved half face respirator equipped with a combination filter cartridge,
 i.e. organic vapor/acid gas/HEPA (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid
 gas, SO2 and a high efficiency particulate filter).

*OTHER:
      Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact
 a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and
 potential recommendation for medical monitoring.  Recommendations from the
 physician will depend upon the specific compound, its chemical, physical and
 toxicity properties, the exposure level, length of exposure, and the route
 of exposure.

*STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
      You should store this material under ambient temperatures.

*SPILLS AND LEAKAGE:
      If a spill of this chemical occurs, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION,
 then you should dampen the solid spill material with acetone and transfer the
 dampened material to a suitable container.  Use absorbent paper dampened with
 acetone to pick up any remaining material.  Seal your contaminated clothing
 and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal.
 Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with acetone followed by washing with
 a soap and water solution.  Do not reenter the contaminated area until the
 Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has
 been properly cleaned.

*DISPOSAL AND WASTE TREATMENT: Not available


-EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
 ====================

*SKIN CONTACT:
      IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating
 all contaminated clothing.  Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly
 with soap and water.
      If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a
 physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.

*INHALATION:
      IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.
 IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a
 hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath,
 or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.
      Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown
 atmosphere.  Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
 should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or
 equal to that advised under Respirator Recommendation.

*EYE CONTACT:
      First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.  Flush
 victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while
 simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.
      Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without
 specific instructions from a physician.
      IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if
 no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

*INGESTION:
      If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of
 water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control
 center.
      Generally, the induction of vomiting is NOT recommended outside of a
 physician's care due to the risk of aspirating the chemical into the victim's
 lungs.  However, if the victim is conscious and not convulsing and if medical
 help is not readily available, consider the risk of inducing vomiting because
 of the high toxicity of the chemical ingested.  Ipecac syrup or salt water may
 be used in such an emergency.  IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.
      If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth,
 ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with
 the head lower than the body.  DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.  IMMEDIATELY transport
 the victim to a hospital.

*SYMPTOMS:
      Symptoms of exposure to this compound include epileptic convulsions and
 serious EEG disturbances [421].  Other symptoms include gastrointestinal dis-
 turbances, severe central nervous system involvement-cerebellar derangement,
 muscle spasms, blindness from optic nerve atrophy and diminuation of vision
 [058].  Effects of acute overexposure may be central nervous system stimula-
 tion, dyspnea, headache, nausea and irritation of the respiratory tract.
 Effects of chronic overexposure may include irreversible renal changes, con-
 junctivitis, ecchymosis, staggering, fever, vomiting, mental confusion, pulmon-
 ary edema, dilation of the heart, extensive necrosis of blood vessels in the
 lungs, liver and kidney, fatty degeneration of the liver and kidneys and some
 cases of hypoplastic anemia.  It can cause malaise, faintness, dizziness
 followed by collapse and convulsions sometimes preceded by screaming and
 accompanied by foaming at the mouth and biting of the tongue, unconsciousness,
 retrograde amnesia, moderate rise in temperature, facial pallor, slight circum-
 oral cyanosis, severe cyanosis of the face and extremities, slightly enlarged
 liver, depression and death from ingestion [173].  Animal symptoms that have
 been observed are increased respiration, restlessness accompanied by frequency
 of micturition, intermittent muscular spasms of the whole body, salivation,
 grinding of the teeth and consequent bleeding from the mouth, backward movement
 with loss of balance and somersaulting, retraction of the head, convulsions,
 gasping and biting, collapse and death usually within a day. It can cause
 degenerative changes in the kidneys, pancreas, testes, nasal mucous membranes
 and liver (in extremely high doses).  It may also cause immunosupression [173].
 It may cause respiratory failure [102].
