POISONING SYMPTOMS 
Parathion is a very dangerous poison It rapidly enters the body by contact with all skin sl'rfar:es and 
eyes. Clothing wet with this material must be removed immediately. Exposed persons must receive 
prompt medical treatment or they may die. ( lEST UAIUIL£ elPl] 
Some of the signs and symptoms of poisoning are: Headache, nausea, vomiting, cramps, weakness,

blurred vision, pin-point pupils, tightness in chest, labored breathing, 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 intoxication, treatment should be directed towards the relief of cholinesterase inhibition. 
ANTIDOTE-Administer atropine sulfate in large doses, TWO to FOUR mg. intravenously or 
intramuscularly as soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to \0 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 TRANQUILIZERS. 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 
reponed after initial improvement: VERY CLOSE SUPERVISION OF THE PATIENT IS INDI­
CATED FOR AT LEAST 48 HOLJRS . 
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 treat men! 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 ifbees 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 labeling. For any 
requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

treated areas must be posted with 'NPS signs at (or 100 feet outside) all usual points of entry or at (or 
100 feet outside) all the cor:1ers of the treated areas affording maximum visibility. 
Notification to Farm Owner/Operator 
A certified commercial applicator must not apply this parathion product on a farm until he or she 
makes sure the owner of the farm (or person responsible for managing the farm) has the following 
information in writing; (I) specific location and description of the area to be treated, (2) time and

PROTECTION OF APPLICATORS AND MIXER-LOADERS 
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 mixinglloading activities (other than acting as an observer) involv­
ing any pesticide product containing parathion. Human f1aggers are prohibited. 
MixerlLoader Protection: 
An observer mu~t be present during all mixing/loading ar:tivities 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 protec­
tive equipment. 
This product must be mixed and loaded in a closed system, as described below: 
The liquid pesticide must be removed from its original shipping container and transferred through 
connecting hoses, pipes. and/or couplings that are sufficiently tight to prevent "~ncllers ("If ,)Iher 
persons from contacting the parathion concentrate, use dilution, or rinsate scluti,:lI\. A complete seal 
by dry break or screw-on coupling to the' opening of the original comainer s~211 'l'! requi~e:l 
All hoses, piping, tanks, and connections used in the system shall be of a typ(. d.Jpropriale fvl the 
product being used and the pressure and vacuum levels involvecl. The closed r)"stem must be ad­
equate to make necessary measurements of the product being used. External sight gauge~ ~I-all be 
equipped with valves so that the flow of pesticide to the sight gauge can be sh!.lt offin cast- of break­
age or leakage from the gauge. 
• BESl ~UllABLE Con

• 
• 
8 1 " 
Shut-off devices must be installed on the exit end of all hoses and at all disccnnect 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. If the hose carried diluted-for-use parathion or 
rinsate solution, a reversing action pump or a similar system that will empty the hose and eliminate 
dripping ofliquid from the end of the hose may be used as an alternative to a shut-off device 
In mixing/loading operations do 110t pour this product from its container. Before opening the con­
tainer, 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 ofa vacuum-producing pump system connected 
to a probe system that is listed by the State of California 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-I system sold by 
Protecto Mfg. Co., 20189 Firerock Road, Bend, OR 9770 I, telephone 503-]82-6886. The probe 
system shall be screwed into the threaded opening in the top of the container to form a watertight 
connection, using appropriate adaptors provided by the probe manufacturer as necessary. The in­
structions provided by the seller of the probe have been thoroughly rinsed as required by this sectiun. 
The closed-system must provide for adequate rinsing of any removable probe and of all containers 
that are not !abelled for return to the registrant. Rinsing must be done using a liquid that contains no 
pesticide. T:le rinsing system must be capable of spray-rinsing the inner surface of the container. The 
rinse solutitJn shall be removed from the pesticide container concurrent with the introduction of the 
rinse medium. The rinse solution shall go into the pesticide mix tank of applicator ';ehicle via the 
closed system. 
The system shall be rinsed according to the specifications of the manufacturer of the probe system, or, 
in the absence oi 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 Jr.ore than 5 psi. 
Either the operator of the closed system must have available at the time of operation a compl~te set of 
written instructions for proper operation of the system, or the certified aflplicatcr Jr.t.:£t dOC:J:r.cnt in 
writing before an operator uses the closed system that the operator has been adequlltely trained in the 
proper operation of the system. 
INCIDENT REPORTING A telephone notification must be made ifmixm.~, loading, or use of 
a product containing ethyl parathion results in (I) inadvertent or unexpected human exposu~e t:: the 
product or illness resulting from exposure to the product, (1) spill of the product, (3) an investigation 
by Federal, State, or local authorities of allegations involving drift of the product, or (4) the c:lo!l\ths of 
birds or other wildlife The certified applicator or the owner of the treated lands must ;,otify by

rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label 
instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste 
representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. 
Container Disposal 
Metal containers - Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or punc­
ture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill. or by other procedures approved by state and local 
authorities .
