4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures

General advice

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled

Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.

In case of skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .

In case of eye contact

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

If swallowed

Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention .

4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Acute: cholinesterase inhibitor which affects central nervous system. Severe illness or death possible. Convulsions or coma and death. (EPA, 1998)

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Airway protection. Insure that a clear airway exists. Intubate the patients and aspirate the secretions with a large-bore suction device if necessary. Administer oxygen by mechanically assisted pulmonary ventilation if respiration is depressed. Improve tissue oxygenation as much as possible before administering atropine, so as to minimize the risk of ventricular fibrillation. In severe poisonings, it may be necessary to support pulmonary ventilation mechanically for several days. /Organophosphate pesticides/

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: The persistence half-lives for chlorofenvinphos ranged from about 14 days to >150 days in soil(1-8). The initial half-live of chlorofenvinphos in soils varied from 2 wks to more than 23 wks depending on the soil type, the formulation, and the dosage level(1). Chlorofenvinphos is more persistent in peat and least persistent in sandy loam and brick earth; the initial half-life in peat was >16 wks, >12 wks in loam, and >2 wks in sandy loam and brick earth(1). In another study, chlorofenvinphos degraded slowly on peaty soil whereas on sandy soils persistence was much shorter(2). When applied to the surface, the half-life on peat soil was >150 days(2). On sandy loam soil, it was somewhat <30 days(2). On fine sandy soil, half-life dropped to <4 days(2). When granular formulations were applied to sandy loam soil, chlorofenvinphos half-life was 10-12 wk(2). Depth of incorporation of chlorofenvinphos did not affect the residue rate of decline in soil; and about 73% of a granular application, incorporated to a depth of 15 cm, dissipated within 23 wk(2). Trace residues were detected in the soil as long as 4 yr post application(2). In one test using sterilized soil and sand, 95% of initial chlorofenvinphos remained after 45 days of incubation, while in nonsterile soil, 70-98% was degraded suggesting a biological route of disappearance(3). In laboratory studies, the disappearance rate of chlorofenvinphos was more than 15 times faster in nonsterile soil as compared to sterilized soil(4). Using a sandy loam soil and an organic soil, more than 24 weeks of incubation were required to reach 50% degradation of chlorofenvinphos when the soils were sterilized(5); in nonsterilized soils, only one week of incubation or less was needed to reach 50% degradation(5).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 28 was calculated for chlorofenvinphos(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.81(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A BCF of 255 has been reported for Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)(4). A BCF of 200 has been reported for earthworms(5,6).

12.4 Mobility in soil

A Koc of 295 for chlorofenvinphos was measured in silt loam soil containing 3.53% organic matter(1). According to a suggested classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that chlorofenvinphos has medium mobility in soil(SRC). Experimental Kd sorption coefficients of 10.6 to 256.0 have been determined for various kaolinite and bentonite clays(3) indicating that strong adsorption to clay particles is possible(SRC). Over a 90 day observation period during a field study in a sandy loam soil (organic carbon content of 0.32%), surface applied chlorofenvinphos did not leach below a 15 cm depth(4); in addition, no lateral soil movement was observed(4), which suggests that chlorofenvinphos has limited mobility in soil(SRC).

12.5 Other adverse effects

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
