4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Symptoms of organophosphate insecticide poisoning: cholinesterase inhibition, headache, fatiguedizziness, blurred vision, weakness, nausea, cramps, diarrhea, chest discomfort, sweating, miosis, tearing, salivation, vomiting, cyanosis, papilledema, and muscle twitching. In advanced cases convulsions, coma, loss of reflexes, and loss of sphincter control may occur. EYES: Can produce mild to moderate eye irritation and transient corneal injury. SKIN: Undiluted liquid products can cause skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause superficial burns. (USCG, 1999)

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Organophosphates and related compounds/

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Chlorpyrifos, applied at a concentration of 50 mg/plant, to cauliflower and brussels sprout crops treated with organic fertilizers had measured soil half-lives ranging from 19 to 41 days in soils with an organic carbon content ranging from 0.92 to 2.69%(1). Measured half-lives of 4 weeks (clay loam) and 12 weeks (silt loam) in non-sterile soils versus 24 weeks in both soils sterilized by autoclaving was indicative of measurable biodegradation(2). Half-lives of one week (sandy loam) and 2.5 weeks (organic) in non-sterile soils versus half-life of 17 and 40 weeks, respectively, in the sterilized soils was observed(3). After 4 weeks of incubation, 33-38% of applied chlorpyrifos was degraded in a clay loam sterilized by autoclaving or gamma irradiation; 62% degradation was observed in the non-sterile soil(4). The degradation rate in non-sterile sandy loam and muck soils was found to be significantly faster than in the sterilized soils with the degradation rate in non-sterile soil decreasing with a decrease in temperature (3 to 28°C) and variable with moisture content(5,6). After applying 300 ppm chlorpyrifos to autoclaved soil, approximately 80% remained after 30 days, but only 50% remained in a non-sterile soil(7). The half-life of chlorpyrifos in Hessaraghatta soil (pH 7.09, clay content 20.2%) was 2.8-11.5 days, the half-life in Chettalli soil (pH 6.24, clay content 22.5%) was 10-25.1 days and the half-life in Bellary soil (pH 9, clay content 33.2%) was 1.6-8.7 days(8). The half-life of chlorpyrifos in a field measurement using a sandy soil was 81 days(9).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

A measured log BCF value for chlorpyrifos of 2.67 (BCF of 468) was determined from a 35-day flowing-water study using mosquito fish(1). An experimental log BCF value of 2.50 was determined from a static ecosystem study using mosquito fish(2). In a review of the environmental fate of chlorpyrifos, BCF values of 100-4,667 were reported in a variety of fish under field conditions(3). BCF values of 58-1,000 were reported in a variety of fish using flow-through aquariums(3). A BCF of 2727 was measured in Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus)(4). A BCF range of 49-2880 was measured in fish for chlorpyrifos using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over an 8-week period at concentrations of 1-10 ug/L(5). According to a classification scheme(6), the BCF range suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate to very high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Koc values of 4,381 to 6,129 were measured in four different soils with organic carbon content varying from 0.88 to 6.55%; virtually complete adsorption was noted in soil of organic content of 31.65%(1). An average Koc value of 6,070 was determined in soil column studies using 3 agricultural soils(2). An experimental Koc value of 13,600 was reported for a single soil type(3). After incubation for 1 day in sediment from an urban freshwater stream, the Koc for chlorpyrifos was reported as 2,900 to 17,000(4). Koc values of 2740 and 995 were determined in a clay loam and high clay soil respectively, with a mean Koc of 1868(5). In a review of the environmental fate of chlorpyrifos, Koc values of 995-31,000 were reported in a variety of soils(6). Based on multiple Koc values, chlorpyrifos was assigned a selected Koc value of 9930(7). According to a classification scheme(8), these measured Koc values suggest that chlorpyrifos is expected to have low to no mobility in soil. Greater than 99% of chlorpyrifos applied to a loam soil remained in the upper 2.5 cm soil layer after periodic irrigation with overhead sprinklers indicating relative immobility(9). In laboratory studies using a sandy loam soil, chlorpyrifos was determined to be relatively immobile(10). In a simulated ecosystem study, the chlorpyrifos concentration in the sediment was as much as 4 times greater than in the water-phase(11). Chlorpyrifos applied to a natural pond was observed to rapidly absorb to bottom sediments(12). Koc of >7430 was observed with sediment in a nursery recycling pond study(13).
