IMPORTANT DATA

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS TO YELLOW LIQUID OR WHITE CRYSTALS, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR.

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on heating, on contact with acids, oxidants producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen bromide, hydrogen iodide, phosphorous oxides. The substance decomposes on contact with water producing dichlorvos and dichloroacetaldehyde. Attacks metal, plastic, rubber and coatings.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV: (Inhalable fraction) 0.1 mg/mł as TWA; (skin); A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); SEN; BEI issued; (ACGIH 2005).
MAK: being revised

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system, resulting in convulsions, respiratory depression. Cholinesterase inhibitor. Exposure far above the OEL may result in death. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
Cholinesterase inhibitor; cumulative effect is possible: see acute hazards/symptoms.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Boiling point at 0.066 kPa: 110°C
Melting point: 26.5-27.5°C
Relative density (water = 1): 1.96 at 25°C
Solubility in water: none
Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.26
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 13.2

Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.38

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA

The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to honey bees. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES

Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. See ICSC 0690 Dichlorvos (decomposition product of Naled).
