FIRST AID 
Net Contents: 
This product is an organophosphate. iRsestisille'mitisjge. 
FIRST AID TREATMENT: Call a doctor (physician), clinic or hos­
pital immediately. Explain thai the victim has been exposed to 
parathion and describe his condition. 
IF )NHALED: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing. imme­
diately give artifical respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth and maintain 
unliJ doctor sees victim. If breathing is difficult. give oxygen. 
IF SWALLOWED: Call a physician or pOison control center. Drink 
10r 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching back of 
throat with finger, or, if available. by administering syrup of ip­
ecac. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an 
unconscious person. 
IF IN EYES OR ON SKIN: Immediately flush with plenty 01 water 
while removing contaminated personal clothing and shoes to avoid 
continued possible exposure to victim or persons in attendance. 
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN 
Ant/dote: Administer atropine sulfate in large doses two )0 four 
mg. intravenously 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, adminis­
tered in conjunction with atropine. DO NOT GIVE MORPHINE OR 
TRANQUILIZERS. Parathion is a strong cholinesterase inhibitor 
affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems and pro­
dUCing cardiac and respiratory depression. At first sign of pul­
monary edema the patient shOUld be given supplemental o::c:ygen 
and treated symptomatically. Continued absorption of the poi­
son ·may occur and fatal relapses have been reported afler ini­
tial improvement. VERY CLOSE SUPERVISION OF THE PATiENT 
IS INDICATED FOR AT lEAST 48 HOURS.

nate or viton, when entering or leaving an aircraft contaminated 
with pesticide residues. If taken into the cOCkpit, the gloves must 
be kept in an enclosed container to prevent contamination of 
the inside of the cockpit.

PROTECTION OF APPLICATORS AND MIXER/LOADERS 
Applicator Protection: The cockpit of the aircraft used to apply this 
product must be fully enclosed while this product is being applied. No 
pilot may apply this product if the pilot has earlier during the day of 
application performed any mixinglloading activities (other than acting 
as an observer) involving any pesticide product containing parathion. 
Human rraggers are prohibited. 
Mixer/Loader Protection: An observer must be present during all 
mixinglloading activities in order to furnish assistance in the event of 
an accident. The observer must not act as a mixerlloader and need 
not wear personal protective equipment. 
This product must be mixed and loaded In a closed system, as 
de$cribed below: 
The liquid pesticide must be removed from its original shipping con­
tainer and transferred through connecting hoses, pipes and/or couplings 
that are sufficiently tight to prevent handlers or other persons from 
contacting the parathion concentrate, use dilution, or rinsate solution. 
A complete seal by dry break or screw-on coupling to the opening of 
the originai container shall be required. 
All hoses, piping, tanks and connections used in the system shall be 
of a type appropriate for the product being used and the pressure and 
vacuum levels involved. The system shall be designed and op~rated 
so that Ihe concentrated form of tnis product is not under more than 
25 psi of pressure at any paint in the system beyond or downstream 
from a pump producing pOSitive pressure. The closed system must be 
adequate to make necessary measurements of the product being used. 
External sight gauges shall be equipped with valves so Ihat the flow 
of pesticide to the sight gauge can be shut off in case of breakage or 
leakage from the gauge. 
Dry-break couplings shall be used for all hose connections that may S {..J. 
be disconnected during normal mixing-loading operations (excluding periOdiC C' 
maintainenance). A coupling shall be conSidered to be a dry-break coupling 
only if its manufacturer certifies that less tnan 2ml of liquid escape 
per disconnect 
In mixing/loading operations do not pour this produ:t .J~ tits con­
tainer. Before opening the container, make sure that tiff! i:!~tainer is 
resting securely on the ground or a sturdy support, with the top (open­
ing) end up and approximately level. 
Remove the product from the container only by use of a vacuum-pro­
ducing pump system connected to a probe system that is lI'sted by th~ 
State of California under that State's program estabJiJL'ing Jriteria fCT 
Closed-system handling of Toxicity Category·1 pesticiC'~s. 'F,yamples of 
California lisled systems are the Chemprobe(R) 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-1 system sold by Protect..) 
Mfg. Co., 20189 Firerock Road, Bend, OR 97701; teleph01e 503-387-
6886. The probe system shall be screwed into the thn:~aded opening in 
the top of the container to form a watertight C()nnectio~, l Sing appropri­
ate adapters provided by the probe manufacturer as 'It:c .. e~sary. The 
Instructions provided by tha seller of the probe sys:em :I"all be fol­
lowed. except that a removable probe may not be refl"l')\led from the 
container until the container is empty and the container and probe have 
been thoroughly rinsed as required by this section. 
The closed-system must provide for adequate rinsing of any remov­
able probe and of all containers that are not labeled for return to the 
registrant. Rinsing must be done using a liquid that contams no pes­
ticide. The rinSing system must be capable of spray-rinsing the inner 
surface of the container. The rinse solution shall be removed from the 
pesticide container concurrent with the introduction of the rinse me­
dium. The rinse solution shall go into the pesticide mix tank or appli­
cator vehic]e via the closed system. 
The system shalt 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. Par­
athion 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. 
This product must be mixed and loaded in a closed system, as de­
scribed below: 
INCIDENT REPORTING 
A telephone notification must be made if mixing, loading, or use of a 
product containing parathion results in inadvertent or unexpected hu­
man exposure to the product or illness resulting from exposure to the 
product, spill of the product, an investigation by Federal, State or 
local authorities of allegations involving drift of the product, or the 
deaths of birds or other wildlife. The certified applicator or the owner 
of the treated land must notify by telephone the Chief, Compliance 
Branch, Office of Compliance Monitoring, U.S. EPA, at 202-260-3375 
within seven days of becoming aware of the incident.
