therefore a cholinesterase inhibitor. Symptoms can occur from one to three
Attention:
hours after exposure.
Symptoms of poisoning.
Mild poisoning - headache, blurred vision, weakness, sweating, mild chest
pain, nausea and vomiting.
Severe poisoning - cyanosis (blueness of the skin), muscular twitching,
spasms, miosis (pinpoint pupils) and respiratory paralysis.
Repeated minor exposure may have a cumulative poisoning effect.
Treatment
Basic aid, decontamination, symptomatic treatment and administration of
antidote.
Antidote : Atropine sulphate, possibly in conjunction with toxogonin or
obidoxime (PAM). Monitor respiratory, cardiac and central nervous system
function. Monitor red blood cell and plasma cholinesterase levels. Administer
oxygen if necessary. Watch for pulmonary oedema and delayed neurological
symptoms. Continued absorption of diazinon may occur and relapse may occur
after initial improvement. VERY CLOSE SUPERVISION OF THE PATIENT
IS INDICATED FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS.
Contraindications : Adrenergic derivatives. DO NOT give morphine or
tranquilisers.

6) ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material or contaminated surfaces. Do not smoke, eat or drink during the
clean up process. Wear personal protective clothing and equipment as detailed in Section 8
PERSONAL PROTECTION. Keep people and animals away. Contain spill and absorb with earth,
sand, clay or other absorbent material. Prevent spilled material from entering drains or watercourses.
Collect and store in properly labelled drums for safe disposal. Clean floor with a damp cloth and place
it in the drum. Seal drums and label ready for safe disposal. Deal with all spillages immediately. If
contamination of drains, streams, watercourses etc is unavoidable warn the local water authority.
Diazinon can be hydrolysed in water by adjusting the pH to alkaline.
