Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. NO open flames. Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide. Explosion Exposure PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!  •Inhalation Pupillary constriction, muscle cramp, excessive salivation. Sweating. Nausea. Dizziness. Laboured breathing. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. Ventilation (not if powder), local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.  •Skin MAY BE ABSORBED! (See Inhalation). Protective gloves. Protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.  •Eyes Face shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.  •Ingestion Abdominal cramps. Vomiting. Diarrhoea. (Further see Inhalation). Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention. Spillage Disposal Storage Packaging & Labelling Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting.

T symbol N symbol R: 21-25-50 S: 1/2-36/37-45-61 UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Packing Group: III VAMIDOTHION ICSC: 0758 Important Data Physical State; Appearance: COLOURLESS CRYSTALS Physical Dangers: Chemical Dangers: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides , phosphorous oxides and sulfur oxides . Occupational Exposure Limits: TLV not established. Routes of Exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation Risk: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. Effects of Short-Term Exposure: The substance may cause effects on the nervous system , resulting in convulsions and respiratory failure. Exposure at high levels may result in death. Cholinesterase inhibitor. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated. Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure: Cholinesterase inhibitor; cumulative effect is possible: see acute hazards/symptoms. Physical Properties Melting point: 46-48°C Solubility in water: very good Vapour pressure, at room temperature: negligible Environmental Data The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to birds and honey bees. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use. N O T E S Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
