4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
Fresh air, rest. Refer immediately for medical attention.
In case of skin contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
In case of eye contact
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
If swallowed
Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Exposure Routes: inhalation, ingestion Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, salivation; headache, dizziness, lassitude (weakness, exhaustion); rhinorrhea (discharge of thin mucus), chest tightness; blurred vision, miosis; cardiac irregularities; muscle fasciculation; dyspnea (breathing difficulty) Target Organs: respiratory system, central nervous system, cardiovascular system, blood cholinesterase (NIOSH, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Airway protection. Insure that a clear airway exists. Intubate the patients and aspirate the secretions with a large-bore suction device if necessary.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
Sulprofos exhibited significant biodegradation in the presence of nonsterile sediment/estuarine water slurries(1). The study involved a shake-flask test containing estuarine water only or water and sediment and the first order rate constants were 0.00817 1/hr in estuarine water and sediment and 0.00148 1/hr in estuarine water only(1). The respective half-lives are 3.5 days and 19.5 days(SRC). The half-life of sulprofos in soils ranges from several days to several weeks depending upon soil type, and the major metabolites are sulprofos sulfoxide and sulprofos sulfone(2). Sulprofos was rapidly degraded in a simulated pond consisting of 6 liters of pond water and 5 grams of a Lufkin sandy loam placed in an outdoor environment(3). Only about 2% of the nominal amount of sulprofos applied to the pond remained after 48 hours, and the route of degradation was assumed to be a combination of biodegradation, hydrolysis, and photolysis(3). The half-life of sulprofos applied to a Lufkin fine sandy loam was about 0.5 weeks and about 4 weeks in a construction site sandy soil; sulprofos sulfoxide was observed as the major degradation product in each case(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3,300 was calculated for sulprofos(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.48(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Experimental Koc values for sulprofos are 12,000(1) and 13,500(2). According to a classification scheme(2), these estimated Koc values suggest that sulprofos is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
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.
Contaminated packaging
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.
