FIRST AID
Net Contents:
This product is an organophosphate. iRsestisiEie'mi1isiEia.
FIRST AID TREATMENT: Call a doctor {physician}, clinic or hospi­
tal immediately. Explain that the victim has been exposed to par­
athion and describe his condition.
IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, imme­
diately give artifical respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth and maintain
until 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 of water
while removing contaminated personal clothing and shoes to avoid
continued possible exposure to victim or persons in attendance.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Antidote: Administer atropine sulfate in large doses two to 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 aiso antidotal-and may be administered in con­
junction with atropine. DO NOT GIVE MORPHINE OR TRANQUIL·
IZERS. 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 pa­
tient should be given supplemental oxygen and treated symptom­
atically. Continued absorption of the poison may occur and fatal
relapses have been reported after initial improvement. VERY CLOSE
SUPERVISION OF THE PATIENT IS INDICATED FOR AT LEAST
46 HOURS.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDES

cholinesterase inhibitors such as are contained in this product may.
without warning, cause prOlonged susceptibility to very small doses
of any cholinesterase inhibitor.
Persons working with this product should have frequent blood tests
of their cholinesterase levels. If the cholinesterase level falls be­
Iowa critical paint, no further exposure should be allowed until it
has been determined by means of blood tests that the cholinest­
erase level has returned to normal. Before using this product, con­
sult the Agricultural Extension Service or Experimental Station for
speCific recommendations regarding such blood tests.

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 ap­
plied. 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 con­
taining parathion. Human 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 must not act as a mixer/loader and
need not wear personal protective equipment.
This product must be mixed and loaded in a closed system, sa
described below:
The liquid pesticide must be removed from its original shipping container
and transferred through connecting hoses, pipes andlor couplings
that are sufficiently tight to prevent handlers or other persons from
contacting the parathion concentrate, use dilution, or rinsate solu­
tion. A complete seal by dry break or screw-on coupling to the opening
of the original 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 pres­
sure and vacuum levels involved, The. system shall be designed
and operated so that the -concentrated form of this product is "ot­
under more than 25 psi of pressure at any point In the system
beyond or downstream from a pump producing pOSitive pressure.
The closed system must be adequate to make necessary measure­
ments 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.
Dry-break couplings shall be used for all hose connections that may
be disconnected during normal miXing-loading operations (excluding
periodic maintainenance). A coupling shall be considered to be a dry­
break coupling only if its manufacturer certifies that less than 2ml of
liquid escape per diSConnect.
In mlxinglloading operations do not pour this product from its con­
tainer. 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 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(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 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
connection, USing appropriate adapters provided by the prObe manu­
facturer as necessary. The instructions provided by the seller of the
probe system shall be followed, except that a removable probe may
not be removed 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 contains 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
medium. The rinse solution shall go into the pesticide mix tank or
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 speci­
fications, 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 pre­
vent 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 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
Branct" Office of Compliance Monitoring, U.S. EPA, at 202-260-3375
within seven days of becoming aware of the incident.
