SECTION 4 First Aid Measures

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: No first aid procedures are required. As a precaution, wash skin thoroughly with plenty of soap and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Ingestion: If swallowed, drink 1 to 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat with finger. If possible, contact a physician, Poison Control Center, or emergency center before inducing vomiting. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Take person and product container to the nearest emergency treatment center.

Inhalation: If inhaled, move victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth to mouth. Get medical attention.

Note to physician: This material contains a cholinesterase inhibitor. Measurement of blood cholinesterase activity may be useful in monitoring exposure but decisions regarding treatment will usually need to be made before test results are available. 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. ____________________________________________________________________

SECTION 11 Toxicological Information

ACUTE (Product Specific Information)

Eye Irritation: Minimal irritation clearing within 7 days.

Skin Irritation: No irritation at 72 hours after exposure.

Dermal Toxicity: The dermal LD50 of Acephate in rabbits was >10 g/kg

Oral Toxicity: The oral LD50 in male rats was 1434 mg/kg

Inhalation Toxicity: The 1-hour LC50 in rats is > 12.1 mg/l.

Skin Sensitization: No product toxicity data available. The hazard evaluation was based on data on the components. The active ingredient, Acephate, did not induce a positive skin sensitization reaction in the guinea pig using the Modified Buehler or the Maximization techniques.

SUBCHRONIC: The most significant treatment related effect of Acephate is a decrease in cholinesterase activity of plasma, RBC, and brain.

CHRONIC/CARCINOGENICITY: When mice were fed diets containing Acephate throughout their entire lifetime, a compound-related increase in liver weight, together with liver carcinoma (a commonly occurring cancer in mice) occurred in high dose-females. These changes were not observed in the males at any dose level or in low- or mid-dose females. When rats were fed diets containing. Acephate throughout their entire lifetime, there was no treatment related increase in tumors at any site. The most significant treatment-related effect was a decrease in cholinesterase activity of plasma, RBC and brain.

TERATOLOGY/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: There is no evidence that Acephate causes birth defects.

REPRODUCTION: When male and female rats were fed Acephate continuously for two generations through weaning of the third generation, animals in the mid- and high-dose groups demonstrated compound-related effects on reproductive performance. The low-dose was judged to be a no-effect level.

MUTAGENICITY: Acephate has been shown to have a weak potential to cause mutation when tested in microbes or cultured cells and in some studies using mice. However, the results of most live animal studies indicate that Acephate does not cause mutations in whole animals.

OTHER: The significance of the above-mentioned results cannot be fully evaluated for humans. However, based on the dose-response observed in these studies and risk evaluation of the results, it is concluded that the risk of developing cancer or other adverse health effects is minimal if one follows the precautions outlined on the product label, material safety data sheet and any plant safety instructions.
