LIQUID: POISONOUS IF SWALLOWED. Irritating to skin and eyes. (USCG, 1999)

Airway protection. Insure that a clear airway exists. Intubate the patients and aspirate the secretions with a large-bore suction device if necessary. Administer oxygen by mechanically assisted pulmonary ventilation if respiration is depressed. Improve tissue oxygenation as much as possible before administering atropine, so as to minimize the risk of ventricular fibrillation. In severe poisonings, it may be necessary to support pulmonary ventilation mechanically for several days. Organophosphate pesticides

Fire Extinguishing Media: dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.

Not flammable. POISONOUS GASES ARE PRODUCED WHEN HEATED. Oxides of sulfur and of phosphorus are generated in fires. (USCG, 1999)

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. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

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

In case of spill or leak: For small spills, sweep up keeping dust to a minimum, and place in a approved chemical container. Wash the spill area with water containing a strong detergent, absorb with pet litter or other absorbent material, sweep up, and place in a chemical container. Seal the container and handle in an approved manner. Flush the area with water to remove any residue. Do not allow wash water to contaminate water supplies. Wear appropriate PPE. Diazinon 50W

NO open flames. 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.

Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids, bases and food and feedstuffs. Keep in a well-ventilated room.Store in original container only in cool, dry, well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and animals.

TLV: 0.01 mg/m3, as TWA; (skin); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); BEI issued.MAK: (inhalable fraction): 0.1 mg/m3; peak limitation category: II(2); skin absorption (H); pregnancy risk group: C

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.

Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

Protective gloves. Protective clothing.

Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. Avoid inhalation of mist.

Decomposes above 120°C . This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, phosphorus oxides and sulfur oxides. Reacts with strong acids and alkalis with possible formation of highly toxic tetraethyl thiopyrophosphates. Reacts with strong oxidants.

More stable in alkaline formulations, then when at neutral or acid pH.

PRACTICALLY NONFLAMMABLE.Organothiophosphates, such as DIAZINON, 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. POISONOUS GASES ARE PRODUCED WHEN HEATED. Oxides of sulfur and of phosphorus are generated in fires (USCG, 1999). DIAZINON is incompatible with the following: Strong acids & alkalis, copper-containing compounds [Note: Hydrolyzes slowly in water & dilute acid.] (NIOSH, 2016).

Strong acids and alkalis, copper containing compounds [Note: Hydrolyzes slowly in water and dilute acid].

When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of /phosphorus oxides, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides/.

The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes and skin. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. This may result in convulsions and respiratory depression. Cholinesterase inhibition. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

Cholinesterase inhibition. Cumulative effects are possible. See Acute Hazards/Symptoms.

A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

AEROBIC: Half-lives reported for diazinon in sterile (non-sterile) soils were 12.5 weeks (<1 week) in sandy loam and 6.5 weeks (2 weeks) in organic soil(1). Diazinon disappeared more quickly from unsterilized natural water (12 weeks) than from unsterilized distilled or sterilized natural water (>16 weeks), suggesting that degradation is both biological and chemical in nature in natural waters(2). Percent theoretical biological oxygen demand (BOD) was 16% for diazinon incubated with municipal sewage for 7.5-8.3 days(3). Diazinon, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(4).

BCF values were measured in the following species: topmouth gudgeon (Pseudodorasbora parva), 152, silver crucian carp (Cyprinus auratus), 36.6, carp (Cryprinus carpio), 65.1, guppy (Lebisters reticuatus) 17.5, crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), 4.9, red snail (Indoplanorbis exustus), 17.0, pond snail (Cipangopoludina malleata), 5.9(1); a fish (Fundulus heteroclutus), 10(2); species unreported, 35(3); carp, 120, rainbow trout, 63, loach, 26, shrimp, 3(4); sheepshead minnow, 200(5); eel(Anguilla anguilla) muscle and liver, 1600 and 800, respectively(6); perch 27(7); earthworm 8(8); fish from the Philipines, 12(9). According to a classification scheme(10), the range of experimental BCFs suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to moderate(SRC).

The Koc for diazinon ranged from 40-432, and averaged 191 for 3 soils(1); in one sediment, the Koc was 250(1). For sandy loam(2.0% OM, pH 5.4), silt loam(1.4% OM, pH 7.0), silt loam(1.8% OM, pH 6.5) and sand(1.4% OM, pH 7.0), the Kocs were 1,539, 1,007, 1,653, and 1,842, respectively, with a recommended value of 1520(2). The Koc for diazinon was found to be 1589 in an Hungarian brown forest soil(3). The Koc for diazinon in two New Zealand topsoils was 165.22 and 324.49(4); the Koc in a New Zealand subsoil was 1447.47(4). According to a classification scheme(5), these experimental Koc values suggest that diazinon is expected to have moderate to low mobility in soil(SRC). Diazinon was given a leaching index of 2.0 (<20 cm movement/yr with 150 cm of annual rainfall)(6). Diazinon is reported to be fairly strongly adsorbed onto soil with low mobility(7).

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.
