Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
This material is extremely toxic; the probable oral lethal dose (human) is 5-50 mg/kg, or 7 drops to 1 teaspoonful for a 150-lb. person. Death may occur from respiratory arrest. Hazards of vapor toxicity are high. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
A comatose patient who is diaphoretic, has pinpoint pupils and the odor of an insecticide on clothing or breath, and is noted to have muscle fasciculations represents the classic presentation of organophosphate poisoning. ... Specific steps in management include the following. 1. Decontamination. ... 2 Airway. Establish an airway if necessary. ... 3. Respiratory Status. Respiratory distress, in fact, is commonly found in these patients from multiple causes. ... 4. Cardiac Monitoring. ... 5. Cholinesterase Level. ... 6. Pralidoxime. Pralidoxime is the treatment of choice for organophosphate poisoning and should be used for nearly all patients with clinically significant orgnophosphate poisoning, particularly whose patients with muscular fasciculations and weakness. ... 7. Atropine. Atropine is the physiologic antidote for organophosphate poisoning. A trial dose of atropine should be instituted on clinical ground when one suspects organophosphate intoxication. Organophosphate poisoning
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped or safely confined. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use "alcohol" foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Organophosphorus pesticides, liquid, NOS

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

It is recommended that the product's temperature ... not exceed 25-30 deg C, & keep ... away from sources of heat, free flames or spark-generating equipment. Containers must be stacked in such a way as to permit free circulation of air ... at bottom & inside of piles. Storage areas must be located at suitable distance from inhabited buildings, animal shelters, & food stores; moreover, they must be inaccessible to unauthorized persons, children, & domestic animals. Prothoate

Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Chemical stability
Aqueous solutions are stable.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Highly toxic fumes are given off upon decomposition of DIMEFOX with heat. Container may explode in heat of fire. Decomposes rapidly in the presence of chlorine. Oxidizes slowly in strong oxidizing agents. [EPA, 1998]. Organophosphates are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
Conditions to avoid

Incompatible materials
no data available
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of /hydrogen fluoride as well as nitrogen and phosphorus oxides/.

Persistence and degradability
Little oxidation of dimefox occurred when exposed to the green alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, at a concentration of 1000 ppm(1). After 8 days of incubation in Chlorella pyrenoidosa culture, dimefox was recovered 84%(2). Chlorella pyrenoidosa did not form any chloroform-soluble metabolites from dimefox(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated for dimefox(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -0.43(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).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of dimefox is estimated as 2.2(SRC), using a water solubility of 1X10+6 mg/L (miscible) (1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that dimefox is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
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.
