Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include blurred vision, confusion, ataxia, delirium, coughing, abdominal pain, nausea, irritability and anuria. Other symptoms may include nervousness, loss of coordination, unconsciousness and dry red skin. It may also cause neuroblastoma. It is moderately irritating to the skin and can cause deep depression and liver changes. Symptoms of acute poisoning with this type of compound include vomiting, diarrhea, paraesthesia, excitement, giddiness, fatigue, tremors, convulsions, coma, possibly pulmonary edema; liver, kidney and myocardial toxicity and hypothermia. Also, respiration may be accelerated initially and later depressed. Symptoms of chronic poisoning with this type of compound may include headache, loss of appetite, muscular weakness, fine tremors, apprehensive mental state, aplastic anemia and acute leukemia. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is readily absorbed through the skin as well as through other portals. It is toxic by skin absorption and orally. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of organo chloride products, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. (NTP, 1992)

Fatal oral dose to adult humans is between 6 and 60 g with onset of symptoms within 45 minutes to several hours after ingestion, although symptoms have occurred following very small doses either orally or by skin exposure. Some reports of delayed development of liver disease, blood disorders and upset stomach. Chlordane is considered to be borderline between a moderately and highly toxic substance. (EPA, 1998)

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

Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Oils should not be used as either cathartics or dermal cleansing agents, as they increase absorption. Gastric lavage and use of activated charcoal and sodium sulfate are indicated for ingestion. If dermal exposure occurred, contaminated clothes should be removed, and the skin should be thoroughly cleansed with soap and water. Management of seizures in both children and adults is with Valium or phenobarbital. Respiratory depression and even respiratory arrest, especially with concomitant use of Valium and phenobarbital in children, may occur. These drugs preferably should be used only in critical care areas where emergency endotracheal intubation can be performed. /It is recommended/ that epinephrine not be utilized in patients with organochlorine poisoning, as the organochlorines induce myocardial irritability and ventricular arrhythmias may occur. However, dopamine may be necessary in the event of hypotension unresponsive to fluid administration, and epinephrine may be necessary in the event of cardiopulmonary arrest. ... Organochlorine insecticides

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Fire fighting: Self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece, operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. ...

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Flammable/combustible material; may be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Run-off to sewers may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode in heat of fire. Vapors are toxic indoors and outdoors. Chlordane degrades under natural environmental conditions to photoisomers, such as photo-cis- chlordane, which are more toxic to certain animals than chlordane and also showed higher bioaccumulation. Loses chlorine in presence of alkaline reagents; should not be formulated with any solvent, carrier, diluent or emulsifier which has alkaline reaction. (EPA, 1998)

Special protective actions for fire-fighters

Use alcohol-resistant foam, powder, carbon dioxide, water spray.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.

Environmental precautions
