6.1D, 6.3B, 6.4A, 6.8B, 6.9B, 9.1A, 9.2C, 9.3B, 9.4A EYES May irritate eyes SKIN The product may cause some skin irritation after prolonged contact and will irritate broken skin. INHALED The risk of poisoning by dust inhalation is low but the dust will irritate the mucous membranes and cause sinuous discomfort. Prolonged exposure to the product may cause headaches and other discomfort as a result of the presence of petroleum solvents. ACUTE Chlorpyrifos is an organo-phosphate insecticide and will inhibit cholinesterase. Symptoms of overexposure to the active constituent may include headaches, dizziness, incoordination, muscle twitching, tremors, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, sweating, constrictive pupils, blurred vision, salivation, tightness of the chest, excessive urination and convulsions. SWALLOWED The acute oral toxicity of the active constituent is high with reported LD50 measurements for the active at 115mg/Kg. Because of the low levels of active constituent in this product the risk of serious poisoning by ingestion is low. CHRONIC Rats and mice that were administered the active ingredient in long term studies showed no increase in tumours compared to the control. Studies in rats and rabbits indicate that the active constituent does not cause birth defects or interfere with reproduction. There is no known evidence of genetic change or accumulation of the active constituent in the body.
