- (decomposes)
- Solubility:
- negligible
- Appearance:
- yellow waxy solid
- Hazard Symbols:
- Toxic by ingestion, inhalation, skin absorption; most uses prohibited. TLV: 0.5 mg/m3; STEL 1 mg/m3); animal carcinogen.
- Risk Codes:
- 21-25-37/38-40-50/53-67-65-38-11-36/37/38-39/23/24/25-23/24/25
- Safety:
- Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. Human poison by ingestion and possibly other routes. Experimental poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, and possibly other routes. Moderately toxic experimentally by inhalation and skin contact. Human systemic effects by ingestion and skin contact: somnolence, convulsions or effect on seizure threshold, coma, and allergic skin dermatitis. A skin irritant; absorbed through the skin. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. Liver injury has been reported. Lethal amounts of toxaphene can enter the body through the mouth, lungs, and skin. Systemic absorption of the insecticide is increased by the presence of digestible oils, and liquid preparations of the insecticide, which penetrate the skin more readily than do dusts and wettable powders.
A toxic mixture of organochlorine pesticides stored to some extent in body fat. It resembles chlordane and, to some extent, camphor in its physiological action. It causes diffuse stimulation of the brain and spinal cord resulting in generalized convulsions of a tonic or clonic character. Death usually results from respiratory failure. Detoxification appears to occur in the liver. The lethal ingestion dose for humans is estimated to be 2–7 g, a toxicity of about four times that of DDT. At least seven human deaths have been reported due to toxaphene, all in children. Two families have been made ill by eating vegetables containing a large residue of toxaphene. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl−.
Analytical Methods:

Organochlorine pesticide residues (DDT and its derivs.,
hexachlorocyclohexanes [HCH], HCB, toxaphene, trifluralin) in soil
collected from cotton fields in Georgia and South Carolina were
assessed. Toxaphene concns. in South Carolina cotton soil were
3.3-2500 ng/g dry wt.; those from Georgia were 9.5-269 ng/g dry wt.
Trifluralin concns. in South Carolina cotton field soil were 3.3-574 ng/g,
dry wt.; those from Georgia were 1-548 ng/g, dry wt. DDT residues
were detected in almost all soil; HCH concns. were <1 ng/g in all soil;
and HCB, polychlorinated biphenyls, and nonylphenol pollution of cotton
soil was insignificant. Toxaphene, trifluralin, and DDT concns. were not
proportional to org. C content, suggesting the history of the pesticide
use and farm management pesticides play a major role in affecting
residue levels.

Toxaphene residues were extd. from soil samples taken on 0 day, 60
days, 1 yr, 2 yr, and 3 yr following field application of toxaphene and
analyzed by using gas-liq. chromatog. Then their toxicity as topical LDs
for 50 percent of the animals (LD50 values) were detd. in houseflies.
Field soil with an original toxaphene residue of 7.1 ppm declined to
~3.5 ppm after 3 yr. The ratio of the LD50 of 0-day, 60-day, 1-yr, 2-yr,
and 3-yr soil residues to the LD50f tech. toxaphene were 1.07, 1.11,
1.23, 1.31, and 1.36. The results obtained clarify that the degrdn. and
detoxification of this pesticide in soil is very slow and that toxic
components may persist for a long period of time.
