to ensure that a worker does not blow, suck or put his
mouth to a jet, sprinkler, nozzle or soil applicator or machinery of whatever
description that has been used with pesticides.
(xv)
to ensure that the packing, re-packing or
re-filling unit and the stores are situated away from the populated area,

[See rule 39]
SYMPTOMS OF POISONING, FIRST-AID AND
ANTIDOTES
Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide
Symptoms,- these insecticide affect the
central nervous system leading to convulsions, exhaustion, Numbers of
extremities, apprehensions and excitement are other symptoms of poisoning from
these insecticides.
First-Aid- As absorption through skin
is most likely route of poisoning it is essential to wash off the contaminant
from the body with soap and water and remove the soiled clothing. In case of
ingestion evacuation of stomach is necessary.
Antidotes, - Usual antidotes are paraldehyde or a water-soluble barbiturate
given intramuscularly or thiopentone or diazepam administered intravenously.
Organophosphates and carbamate insecticides
Symptoms, - These compounds depress
cholinesterase enzyme activity in the body tissue, blood and brain. Usual
symptoms of intoxication the muscular trembling, weakness, colds wear, nausea,
vomiting, abdominal discomfort, irritability or restlessness coupled with
constricted pupil/pupils and a feeling of tightness in chest.
First-Aid, - Necessary steps may be
taken immediately to decontaminate the patient. If exposure is mild the effect
will be transient. In severe cases death may occur. Keep the patient at rest
and maintain respiration by artificial means, if necessary. Immediate steps may
also be taken to hospitalize the patient.
Antidotes, - If
symptoms are obvious first dose of two tablets of atropine sulphate (of 0.6 mg.
Strength each0 may be administered
by giving one tablet each at an interval of 20-30 minutes.
Fumigants.
Cyanides
-Symptoms, - Slight poisoning causes metallic taste in the mouth, irritation of
the nose and throat, dizziness, frontal headache, constriction of chest
weakness of limbs and a sensation of lack of air. These symptoms appear within
a few seconds or minutes of exposure and if these warnings are ignored and if
immediate treatment is not made available death may follow quickly.
First –Aid,- Remove the patient from the contaminated area. Keep at
rest and remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly. Start
artificial respiration.
Antidotes, - Cobalt
EDTA or sodium nitrate and sodium thiosulphate are standard antidotes.
Treatment should be given by a
medical practitioner.
Methyl Bromide, - Symptoms- Burning of
skin, edema of lings and central nervous system disorders are obvious symptoms.
Warning symptoms of exposure are irritation of eyes and throat, headache and
abdominal discomfort.
First
–Aid- Contaminated clothing, shoes and skin must be washed off properly.
Call Medical practitioner for assistance or hospitalize the patient at one.
Antidotes, - Where exposure is mild recovery will take place
without special treatment, in other cases BAL is recommended to be tried as
antidote. Treatment should therefore be symptomatic.
Etylene dichloride, - Symptoms- Effects are narcotic and cause
renal and liver damage and the irritation of mucous membranes.
Antidote, - No specific antidotes are available. Therefore
treatment should be symptomatic.
Ethylene dibromide – Symptoms- Blistering occurs on coma with skin
causes irritation of mucous membrane.
First –Aid- Splashes should be washed form the skin and
contaminated clothing removed.
Antidote,- Symptomatic treatment may be provided because of absence
of any specific antidotes.
Phosphene – Symptoms- Effect gastrointestinal tract and central
nervous systems with nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
Antidote, - No specific antidotes are available which calls for
symptomatic treatment.
Herbicides
Phenoxy acetates, - Symptoms, - Hypersalivation, cramps, vomiting
and diarrhea, convulsions and mental confusion are obvious symptoms.
First – Aid, - Contaminated clothing should be removal and skin
washed thoroughly with soap and water.
Treatment, - No specific antidotes are available, therefore,
treatment just be symptomatic.
Organo-mercurial
fungicides, - Symptoms,- Among organic mercurial alkyl compounds ( with
alcohol radical) are more toxic than aryl compounds ( with phenol radical).
Acute effects of both compounds cause skin burn with redness and blisters and
irritation of mucous membranes/systemic absorption causes renal damage and
digestive system symptoms. Chronic toxicity from alkyl compounds causes
widespread damage of central nervous system.
First- Aid – Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water and remove
contaminated clothing.
Antidote, - In
acute system poisoning stomach may be washed out. Therapy may be tried with
dimeroapral intramuscularly, or with oral doze of 250 mg of N-acetyl
penicillamine, fourness daily.
A medical practitioner may
administer drugs.
Inorganic
mercurial fungicides, -Symptoms, - Mercuric chloride causes
coagulation, irritation and superficial cause of the tissue resulting in
discoloration of mucous embraces. Internal abdominal pains with vomiting follow. Circulatory failure may also occur.
Mercuric chloride is mush less toxic.
First- Aid, - Stomach may be wash with 5% solution of formaldehyde
sulphoxy-late. Remove clothing and wash the body and hair thoroughly.
Antidotes, - Treatment
with dimerapro BAL or preferably Nacetyl pencillamine proves effective.
Treatment should be provided by a
medical practitioner.
