Description
Oxydisulfoton is a liquid. Molecularweight = 290.42. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 4, Flammability 1,Reactivity 0.
Chemical Properties
Oxydisulfoton is a combustible liquid.
Uses
Disulfoton Sulfoxide is a disulfoton (D493695)'s degradate. Disulfoton, an organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is most commonly used for its pesticidal & insecticidal properties in the agricultural industry.
Definition
ChEBI: Oxydisulfoton is an organic thiophosphate.
General Description
Liquid. Used as an agricultural insecticide.
Reactivity Profile
Organophosphates, such as DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides. On heating, oxydisulphoton gets decomposed and releases toxic gases and vapours (SOx, POx).
Health Hazard
DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE is highly toxic orally and through the skin. DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE is an organophosphate pesticide.
Fire Hazard
(Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) Some materials may burn but none of them ignite easily. Container may explode in the heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, DISULFOTON-SULFOXIDE emits very toxic fumes of oxides of sulfur and phosphorus.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of SOx and POx.
Potential Exposure
This material is an agricultural
insecticide.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Speed in removing material from skinis of extreme importance. Shampoo hair promptly if contaminated. Seek medical attention immediately. If thischemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, beginrescue breathing (using universal precautions, includingresuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and inducevomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. Keepvictim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effectsmay be delayed; keep victim under observation.
storage
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with thischemical you should be trained on its proper handling andstorage.
Shipping
UN3018 Organophosphorus pesticides, liquid,
toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
Incompatibilities
Vapor may form explosive mixture with
air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides,
permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine,
etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep
away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids,
oxoacids, and epoxides. Strong oxidizers may cause release
of toxic phosphorus oxides. Organophosphates, in the presence
of strong reducing agents such as hydrides, may form
highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas. Keep away
from alkaline materials.
Waste Disposal
In accordance with 40CFR
165 recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and
pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following
package label directions or by contacting your local or
federal environmental control agency, or by contacting
your regional EPA office.
