4 POISONING SYMPTOMS Parathion is a very dangerous poison. It rapidly enters the body by contact with all skin surfaces and eyes. Clothing wet with this material must be removed immediately. Ex­ posed persons must receive prompt medical treatment or they may die. Some of the signs and symptoms of poisoning are: Headache, nausea, vomiting, cramps, weakness, blurred vision, pin-point pupils, tightness in chest, labored breath­ ing, nervousness, sweating, watering of eyes, drooling or frothing of mouth and nose, muscle spasms and coma. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN Since any symptoms from absorption of this combination product are likely to be those of ethyl parathion intoxicatioJ1. treatment should be directed towards the relief of cho- linesterase inhibition. ., ANTIDOTE-Administer atropine sulfate in large doses, TWO to FOUR mg. intrave­ nously or intramuscularly as soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to 10 minute intervals until signs of atropinization appear. 2-PAM chloride is also antidotal and may be administered in conjunction with atropine. DO NOT GIVE MORPHINE OR TRAN­ QUILIZERS. Parathion is a strong cholinesterase inhibitor affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems and producing cardiac and respiratory depression. At first sign of pulmonary edema, the patient should be given supplemental oxygen and treated symptomatically. Continued absorption of the poison may occur and fatal relapses have been reported after initial improvement: VERY CLOSE SUPERVISION OF THE PA­ TIENT IS INDICATED FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This pesticide is highly toxic to fish and wildlife. Birds in treated areas may be killed. Do not apply directly to water or wetlands (swamps, marshes, bogs, and potholes). Run-off and drift from target area may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in adjacent aquatic sites. Do not contaminate water by disposal of equipment washwaters. This product is extremely toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow to drift to blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area. PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS Do not use or store near heat or open flame. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its label­ ing.

8 Applicator Protection: "The cockpit of the aircraft used to apply this product must be fully enclosed while the product is being applied. No pilot may apply this product if the pilot has earlier during the day of application performed any mixing/loading activities (other than acting as an observer) involving any pesticide product containing parathion. Hu­ man flaggers are prohibited. Mixer-loader Protection: An observer must be present during all mixing/loading activities in order to furnish assistance in the event of an accident. The observer may not act as a mixer-loader and need not wear personal protective equipment. This product must be mixed and loaded in a closed system, as described below: The liquid pesticide must be...removed from its origina.l shipping container and trans­ ferred through connecting hoses, pipes, and/or couplings that are sufficiently tight to prevent handlers or other persons from contacting the parathion concentrate, use dilu­ tion, or rinsate solution. A complete seal by dry break or screw-on coupling to the open­ ing of the original container shall be required. All hoses, piping, tanks, and connections used in the system shall be of a type appropri­ ate for the product being used and the pressure and vacuum levels involved. The closed system must be adequate to make necessary measurements of the product being used. External sight gauges shall be equipped with valves so that the flow of pesticide to the sight gauge can be shut off in case of breakage or leakage from the gauge. Shut-off devices must be installed on the exit end or all hoses and at all disconnect points to prevent leakage of parathion when the transfer is stopped and the hose is removed or disconnected. If a hose carried parathion concentrate and has not been rinsed in accordance with the instructions in this section, a dry-couple shutoff device that will minimize parathion drippage to not more than 2 ml. per disconnect must be installed at the disconnect point. lithe hose carried diluted-for-use parathion or rinsate solution, a reversing action pump or a similar system that will empty the hose and efimi- :, nate dripping of liquid from the end of the hose may be used as an alternative to a shut­ off device In mixing/loading operations do not pour this product from its container. Before opening the container, make sure that the container is resting securely on the ground or a sturdy support, with the top (opening) end up and approximately level. Remove the product from the container only by use of a vacuum-producing pump sys­ tem connected to a probe system that is listed by the State of Califomia under that State's program establishing criteria for closed-system handling of Toxicity Category I pesticides. Examples of California-listed systems are the Chemprobe ® Model II system sold by Cherlor Mfg. Co., Inc., P. O. Box 2174, Salinas, CA 93902, telephone 408-422- 5477 or the Protect-O-Loader Model XM-l system sold by Protecto Mfg. Co., 20189 Firerock Road, Bend, OR 97701 , telephone 503-382-6886. The probe system shall be screwed into the threaded opening in the top of the container to form a watertight con­ nection, using appropriate adaptors provided by the probe manufacturer as necessary. I~ / N

9 The instructions provided by the seller of the probe have been thoroughly rinsed as required by this section. The closed-system must provide for adequate rinsing of any removable probe and of all containers that are not labelled for retum to the registrant. Rinsing must be done using a liquid that contains no pesticide. The rinsing system must be capable of spray-rinsing the inner surface of the container. The rinse solution shall be removed from the pesti­ cide container concurrent with the introduction of the rinse medium. The rinse solution shall go into the pesticide mix tank of applicator vehicle via the closed system. The system shall be rinsed according to the specifications of the manufacturer of the probe system, or, in the absence of such specifications, by moving at least one half of the container volume through the system. A minimum pressure of 15 psi shall be used for the spray rinse. Parathion containers shall be"protected against excessive pressure during the container rinse operation. Measures shall be taken to prevent the spray rinse procedure from causing an increase in pressure on the inside of the container walls of more than 5 psi. Either the operator of the closed system must have available at the time of operation a complete set of written instructions for proper operation of the system, or the certified applicator must document in writing before an operator uses the closed system that the operator has been adequately trained in the proper operation of the system. INCIDENT REPORTING: A telephone notification must be made if mixing, loading, or use of a product containing ethyl parathion results in (1) inadvertent or unexpected human exposure to the product or illness resulting from exposure to the product, (2) spill of the product, (3) an investigation by Federal, State, or local authorities of allegations involving drift of the product, or (4) the deaths of birds or other wildlife. The certified applicator or the owner of the treated lands must notify by telephone the Chief, Compli­ ance Branch, Office of Compliance Monitoring, US EPA, at (202) 260-3375 within seven days of becoming aware of the incident.
