EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure Cholinesterase inhibition. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. This may result in convulsions and respiratory depression. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated. Exposure could cause death. The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes and skin.	Inhalation risk A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Cholinesterase inhibition. Cumulative effects are possible. See Acute Hazards/Symptoms. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur along the food chain.

NOTES
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
