Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: This compound is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Symptoms from exposure to this compound include anorexia; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; excessive salivation; pupillary constriction; bronchoconstriction; muscle twitching; convulsions; coma; respiratory failure; pulmonary edema; perspiration; dyspnea; and cyanosis. The effects are cumulative. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may be absorbed readily through the skin. Acute exposure is evidenced by rapid onset of blurred vision and constricted pupils. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Airway protection. Ensure that a clear airway exists. Intubate the patients and aspirate the secretions with a large-bore suction device if necessary. Administer oxygen by mechanically assisted pulmonary ventilation if respiration is depressed. Improve tissue oxygenation as much as possible before administering atropine, so as to minimize the risk of ventricular fibrillation. In severe poisonings, it may be necessary to support pulmonary ventilation mechanically for several days. Organophosphate pesticides
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media

Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Water soluble. This material may be rapidly hydrolyzed by alkali (NTP, 1992).
Chemical stability
Subject to hydrolysis and the rate is fairly rapidly in alkaline media, oxidizes to sulfone, decomposes at elevated temperatures.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Organophosphates such as OXYDEMETON METHYL 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.

Persistence and degradability
While no biodegradation rates were located for screening tests or natural systems, oxydemeton-methyl has been shown to be degraded by many soil microorganisms(1). One microorganism, Pseudomonas putida, cleaved the thioester bond to form 2-(ethylsulfinyl)ethanethiol, which was subsequently oxidized to bis(2-(ethylsulfinyl)ethyl)disulfide, and 2-(ethylsulfonyl)ethanethiol(1). Another microorganism, a Nocardia sp. produced bis(2-(ethylsulfonyl)ethyl)disulfide, bis[2-(ethylsulfinyl)ethyl]sulfide, and bis(2-(ethylsulfonyl)ethyl)sulfide via oxidation, beta-elimination, and hydrolysis(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3.1 was calculated for oxydemeton-methyl(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.74(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of oxydemeton-methyl is estimated as 9(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.74(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that oxydemeton-methyl is expected to have very high mobility in soil. One investigator estimated that oxydemeton-methyl would leach >35 cm in loam soil at 25 deg C in a year(4).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
