It is classified as super toxic. Probable oral lethal dose in humans is less than 5 mg/kg or a taste (less than 7 drops) for a 70 kg (150 lb.) person. It is poisonous and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. (EPA, 1998)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Aggressive airway control may be needed. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Organophosphates and related compounds
If material is on fire or involved in a fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. 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 foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Disulfoton mixture (Organophosphorus pesticides, liquid, nos)
Material may burn but does not ignite easily. Cylinder may explode in the heat of fire. Poisonous gases may be generated from the fire or runoff water. Oxidizable in air. (EPA, 1998)
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Ventilation. 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.

Spillages of pesticides at any stage of their storage or handling should be treated with great care. Liquid formulation volumes may be reduced ... by evaporation. Dry sweeping of solids is always hazardous: These should be removed by vacuum cleaning or by dissolving them in water or other solvent in the factory environment. Pesticides

Disulfoton is a dark, yellow, oily liquid with a characteristic sulfur odor. It is a water emulsifiable liquid. It is toxic by inhalation, skin absorption, and/or ingestion. Exposure to skin or eyes may cause burns. It is combustible but does not ignite easily. When exposed to high temperature this material may emit toxic fumes. It is used as a pesticide. May be found in the form of a dry mixture where the liquid is absorbed onto a dry carrier.

Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes including phosphorus oxides and sulfur oxides.
Oxidizable in air /srp: to sulfoxides, sulfoxones and their oxones/.
Flammable in xylene solution.DISULFOTON is incompatible with the following: Alkalis (NIOSH, 2016). Organothiophosphates, such as DISULFOTON, 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.

The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. This may result in convulsions and respiratory failure. Exposure above the OEL could cause death. Cholinesterase inhibition. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
Cholinesterase inhibition. Cumulative effects are possible. See Acute Hazards/Symptoms.
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.
When ethylthiometon was added to soil under paddy conditions, there was rapid oxidation to the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone. In silt loam soil, under paddy conditions, reduction of the sulfoxide to ethylthiometon occurred. At 28 deg C, the half-life of ethylthiometon ... /with/ its five metabolites was about 50 days.
The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of disulfoton in carp (Cyrinus carpio) has been measured to be approximately 450(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).
Koc values of 642 and 1104(1), 811(2), 1,500(5), and 1,780(6) have been measured for disulfoton(1) and its Rf value has been determined to be 0.01 using soil thin layer chromatography(3). Koc values in 5 EUROSOILS where as follows: 4,622 - Vertic Cambisol clay loam (1.3% OM, pH 5.1), Sicily, Italy; 1,399 - Rendinza silt loam (3.7% OM, pH 7.4), Pelponnesos, Greece; 1,293 - Dystric Cambisol loam (3.45% OM, pH 5.2), Wales; 2,359 - Orthic Luvizol silt (1.55% OM, pH 6.5), Normandy France; 14,013 - Orthic Podzol loamy sand, Schl.-Holstein (9.25% OM, pH 3.2), Germany(4). According to a classification scheme(7), these Koc values suggest that disulfoton soil mobility is expected to range from low to immobile.

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.
