Section VI - Health Hazard Data
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
Acute: Active ingredient is a cholinesterase inhibitor of low mammalian toxicity. May cause eye and/or skin
irritation. Vapors may irritate eyes. Prolonged skiing and/or eye contact may result in material being absorbed in
harmful amounts. Single dose oral toxicity is moderate: however, ingestion of larger amounts may cause serious
injury. Inhalation of excessive amounts may cause upper respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms include headaches,
dizziness, incoordination, drowsiness and unconsciousness.
Chronic: Repeated exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors may, without warning, cause increased susceptibility to
doses of any other cholinesterase inhibitor. Kidney and liver damage is possible from exposure to xylenes over long
periods.

Section VI - Health Hazard Data (cont鈥檇)
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURE:
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician if symptoms or irritation develops.
SKIN: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Call a physician if irritation persists.
Launder clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician and/or transport to an emergency facility.
EYES: Irrigate immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
CARCINOGENICITY: NE NTP: NE
IARC MONOGRAPHS: NE OSHA REGULATED: NE
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Any disease, medication, or prior
exposure which reduces normal cholinesterase activity may increase the suscaptibility to the toxic effect of the
active ingredient.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Active ingredient is a cholinesterase inhibitor affecting the central and peripheral nervous
systems and producing cardiac and respiratory depression. Atropine sulfate in large doses is an antidote. Two to
four mg intravenously or intramusculary as soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to 10 minutes intervals until
signs of atropinization appear. 2-PAM chlonde is a pharmocological antidote and may be administerd as an adjunct
to, but not a substitue for atropine, which is a symptomatic and often lifesaving antidote.
DO NOT GIVE MORPHINE OR TRANQUILLIZERS. At first sign of pulmonary edema, the patient should be
given supplemental oxygen and treated symptomatically. Continuded absorption of Malathion may occur and
relapse may occur after inital improvment.
Very close supervision of the patient is indicated for at least 48 hours.
