General Description

A solid. Used in the control of powdery mildew on apples and ornamentals. Product discontinued by U.S. supplier.

Reactivity Profile

Organophosphates, such as TRIAMIPHOS, 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.

Health Hazard

TRIAMIPHOS is an organic phosphorus insecticide. Organic phosphorus insecticides are absorbed by the skin, as well as by the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor.

Fire Hazard

As for other organophosphorus pesticides, containers may explode in heat of fire. Heat may cause decomposition and evolution of highly toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and phosphorus oxides.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion, skin contact, intraperitoneal, and possibly other routes. An experimental teratogen. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of PO, and NOx,.
