First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Seek medical assistance.
Inhalation
Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Skin
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin.
Eyes
Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Store at in a cool dry place.
Handling
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
Acute respiratory insufficiency is the main cause of death in acute poisonings.
Skin
Sweating is a consistent but not universal sign.
Eyes
See Skin.
Ingestion
Vomiting, diarrhea, fecal incontinence and abdominal pain may occur.
Hazards
Containers may explode when heated.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles.
Respirators
Must wear a respirator with an activated-carbon gas filter cartridge affording protection for a determined number of working hours.
Exposure Effects
Headache, dizziness, muscle spasms and profound weakness are common. Alterations of level of consciousness, seizures and coma may occur. Seizures may be more common in children. Peripheral neuropathy of the mixed sensory-motor type may be delayed in onset by 6 to 21 days. Recovery may be slow or incomplete. Acephate was not teratogenic in rats and mice. <br>No data were available to assess the potential effects of exposure to this agent during pregnancy or lactation. <br>Sporadic reports of human birth defects related to organophosphates have not been fully verified.
Poison Class
4

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Small Fires: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water spray. Large Fires: Water spray, fog or regular foam.
Fire Potential
Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability
Relatively
Combustion Products
When heated to decomp, can emit highly toxic fumes of oxides of phosphorous.
