| Brandgefahren | Shock can shatter containers, releasing the contents. When heated to decomposition, toxic fumes of sulfur oxides, phosphorus oxides, and nitrogen oxides are emitted. Hydrolyzed in water and alkalies. (EPA, 1998)Combustible. |
| Gesundheitsgefahren | This material is one of the more toxic organophosphorus insecticides. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor that acts on the nervous system, and produces toxicity similar to Parathion. The probable oral lethal dose for humans is less than 5 mg/kg, i.e. a taste (less than 7 drops) for a 70 kg (150 lb.) person. (EPA, 1998) |
| Gefahrenübersicht | Classified as highly toxic with an LD50 of 1.1 to 3.7 mg/kg in rats, phorate may be used only by certified applicators. [EXTOXNET] The average of two baseline respective cholinesterase activity determinations three days apart, with no exposures to enzyme inhibiting pesticides for at least 30 days, is recommended for each worker prior to exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors because of large inter-individual differences in published baseline values. To be established at least once a year. Removal from workplace exposures is recommended until the cholinesterase activity returns to within 20% of baseline. [TLVs and BEIs] |

Epidemiology information from exposure to insecticides, including phorate is provided.USEPA/Office of Pesticide ProgramsInterim Reregistration Eligibility Decision (IRED) for Phorate. EPA issues an IRED for a pesticide that is undergoing reregistration, requires a reregistration eligibility decision, and also needs a cumulative assessment under FQPA. The IRED, issued after EPA completes the individual pesticide\'s aggregate risk assessment, may include taking risk reduction measures -- for example, reducing risks to workers or eliminating uses that the registrant no longer wishes to maintain -- to gain the benefits of these changes before the final RED can be issued following the Agency\'s consideration of cumulative risks.[Available from, as of July 24, 2003: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/status.htm] |
| RCRA-Anforderungen | P094As stipulated in 40 CFR 261.33, when phorate, as a commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate or an off-specification commercial chemical product or a manufacturing chemical intermediate, becomes a waste, it must be managed according to federal and/or state hazardous waste regulations. Also defined as a hazardous waste is any container or inner liner used to hold this waste or any residue, contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into water or on dry land, of this waste. Generators of small quantities of this waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR 261.5(e)). |

Sodium hydroxide (or sodium carbonate) can also be added to the mixture to help speed the reactions when calcium oxide is used as the main alkali. The amount of calcium oxide or sodium hydroxide to use depends on the amount of pesticide to be disposed of and, to some extent, the concentration of active ingredient in the pesticide and the actual chemical nature of the active ingredient. ...For safety, a preliminary test should be made in which a very small amount of the pesticide and akali are mixed and observed briefly to make sure it does not react too vigorously. Sizable quantities of pesticides can be disposed of in several smaller batches, rather than all at once, for added safety. Recommendable methods: Incineration and hydrolysis. Peer-review: For large amt: Incineration in a unit with effluent gas scrubbing is recommendable.

| Treatment | If the compound has been ingested, rapid gastric lavage should be performed using 5% sodium bicarbonate. For skin contact, the skin should be washed with soap and water. If the compound has entered the eyes, they should be washed with large quantities of isotonic saline or water. In serious cases, atropine and/or pralidoxime should be administered. Anti-cholinergic drugs work to counteract the effects of excess acetylcholine and reactivate AChE. Atropine can be used as an antidote in conjunction with pralidoxime or other pyridinium oximes (such as trimedoxime or obidoxime), though the use of '-oximes' has been found to be of no benefit, or possibly harmful, in at least two meta-analyses. Atropine is a muscarinic antagonist, and thus blocks the action of acetylcholine peripherally. |

| Gesundheitliche Auswirkungen | Acute exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors can cause a cholinergic crisis characterized by severe nausea/vomiting, salivation, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, collapse, and convulsions. Increasing muscle weakness is a possibility and may result in death if respiratory muscles are involved. Accumulation of ACh at motor nerves causes overstimulation of nicotinic expression at the neuromuscular junction. When this occurs symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, fasciculation, and paralysis can be seen. When there is an accumulation of ACh at autonomic ganglia this causes overstimulation of nicotinic expression in the sympathetic system. Symptoms associated with this are hypertension, and hypoglycemia. Overstimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, due to accumulation of ACh, results in anxiety, headache, convulsions, ataxia, depression of respiration and circulation, tremor, general weakness, and potentially coma. When there is expression of muscarinic overstimulation due to excess acetylcholine at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors symptoms of visual disturbances, tightness in chest, wheezing due to bronchoconstriction, increased bronchial secretions, increased salivation, lacrimation, sweating, peristalsis, and urination can occur. Certain reproductive effects in fertility, growth, and development for males and females have been linked specifically to organophosphate pesticide exposure. Most of the research on reproductive effects has been conducted on farmers working with pesticides and insecticdes in rural areas. In females menstrual cycle disturbances, longer pregnancies, spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and some developmental effects in offspring have been linked to organophosphate pesticide exposure. Prenatal exposure has been linked to impaired fetal growth and development. Neurotoxic effects have also been linked to poisoning with OP pesticides causing four neurotoxic effects in humans: cholinergi |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values ranging from 543 to 3,200(2-4) indicate that phorate is expected to have low to slight mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of phorate from moist soil surfaces is expected(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 4.37X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.000638 mm Hg(3) and water solubility, 50 mg/l(3). However, adsorption to soil is expected to attenuate volatilization(SRC). Phorate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC), based upon its vapor pressure(3). The rate of photolysis for phorate in soil was reported as 0.3758 per day at 25 °C(5), which corresponds to a half-life of 1.8 days(SRC). Biodegradation studies suggest phorate will biodegrade in soils with half-lives ranging from 5 to 68 days(6,7).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values ranging from 543 to 3,200(2-4) indicate that phorate is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(5) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 4.37X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.000638 mm Hg(3) and water solubility, 50 mg/l(3). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(5), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 14 and 105 days, respectively(SRC). However, volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in the water column(SRC). The estimated volatilization half-life from a model pond is 810 days if adsorption is considered(6). According to a classification scheme(7), a BCF of 90(8), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC). Half-lives for the hydrolysis of phorate at pH 5.7, 8.5, 9.4, and 10.25 were 52, 61, 62, and 33 days, respectively, producing diethyl disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and formaldehyde uner alkaline conditions(9). No significant catalytic effect was observed in the presences of several metal oxides(9). Aqueous solutions of phorate are degraded by light with a half-life of 1.1 days(3). Half-lives of 1.2 days and 1.1 days were determined for phorate in active sediment and water, respectively(9). In shake flasks tests, phorate showed more degradation in the presence of non-sterile estuarine sediment, half-life of about 1 day, than in the presence of sterile sediment, half-life of about 1.5 days(10). The half-lives of phorate in shake flasks containing a non-sterile sediment-water slurry were less than 1 day(10). The half-lives (days) of phorate in water of the Limon River, Venezula that had been filtered through cellulose acetate with 0.45 um porosity were 12.63 (dark) and 11.87 (sunlight)half-lives (days) in non-filtered water exposed to sunlight were 12.46 (open)ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), phorate, which has a vapor pressure of 0.000638 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase phorate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 1.5 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.5X10-10 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC), that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Laboratory experiments indicated rapid gas-phase photolysis of phorate under midsummer sunlight conditions with observed half-lives <30 minutes(4). |
| Lebensmitteluntersuchungswerte | The FDA detected phorate residues in raw agricultural commodities between 1978-1982, 1983-1986, in 1992 and 1994(1-4). Phorate was detected in domestic fresh potatoes (0.05 ppm) in Canada during April 1989-December 1991(5) and in imported fresh broccoli (0.10-0.50 ppm) in Canada during January 1992-March 1994(6). Phorate was qualitatively detected in Mexican rice and tomatoes(7). Phorate was not found in various fruits, vegetables, and milk analyzed for pesticide residues by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets(8). Phorate was not found in foods studied in the Danish National Pesticide Monitoring Program 1995-1996(9). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | Phorate is a cholinesterase or acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. A cholinesterase inhibitor (or 'anticholinesterase') suppresses the action of acetylcholinesterase. Because of its essential function, chemicals that interfere with the action of acetylcholinesterase are potent neurotoxins, causing excessive salivation and eye-watering in low doses, followed by muscle spasms and ultimately death. Nerve gases and many substances used in insecticides have been shown to act by binding a serine in the active site of acetylcholine esterase, inhibiting the enzyme completely. Acetylcholine esterase breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is released at nerve and muscle junctions, in order to allow the muscle or organ to relax. The result of acetylcholine esterase inhibition is that acetylcholine builds up and continues to act so that any nerve impulses are continually transmitted and muscle contractions do not stop. Among the most common acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are phosphorus-based compounds, which are designed to bind to the active site of the enzyme. The structural requirements are a phosphorus atom bearing two lipophilic groups, a leaving group (such as a halide or thiocyanate), and a terminal oxygen. |
| Average Daily Intake | According to the US Food and Drug Administration Total Diet Study to determine dietary intakes of selected pesticides, industrial chemicals and elements the mean daily intakes of phorate, phorate sulfone, and phorate sulfoxide were all 0.0001 ug/kg body weight or less for all groups studied(1). |
| Ökotoxizitätsauszüge | /BIRDS and MAMMALS/ The ...mallard /duck reproduction/ study shows the ability of adult mallards to lay eggs, to produce viable embryos and to produce hatchlings is significantly inhibited when they are fed 60 ppm of the technical phorate, 92.1% a.i., for 19 weeks. /The NOEL for this study was 5 ppm in the diet.//BIRDS and MAMMALS/ Ataxia, diarrhea, beak-sharpening reflex, polydipsia, lacrimation, loss of righting reflex, immobility, irregular heart and respiratory rates, tremors, wing-beat convulsions or opisthotonos. Levels as low as 0.09 mg/kg produced signs in mallards. This was an extremely fast-acting compound on all species tested. Signs occurred in pheasants as soon as 3 min after treatment. Mortalities usually occurred between 10 min and 4 hr after treatment. Remission took up to 2 days./AQUATIC SPECIES/ A freshwater cat fish was exposed to sublethal concentrations of two pesticides--carbaryl, a carbamate and phorate, an organophosphorus pesticide for 24, 72, 120 and 168 hr. The alterations in the serum profile of non protein nitrogen compounds demonstrated an increase in urea, uric acid and creatinine throughout the experimental period./AQUATIC SPECIES/ When adult Lymnaea stagnalis specimens were treated with aqueous solutions of nuvan, methyl parathion and thimet separately for 30 days, they displayed hyperirritability after 4 +/- 2 days, manifested in climbing behaviour at the surface of the water. They remained clinging to the wall of the container for long intervals without feeding. Owing to decalcification the shell became thin, fragile and semitransparent. The higher concentration of pesticides resultant into zero percent of fecundity and viability while in lower concentration the number of egg masses as well as number of egg capsules/egg mass showed significant decrease in comparison to the control groups. In higher concentration of pesticides the development was not proper but irregular and it was arrested at any stage. On the basis of relative toxicity on the mortality and other aspects of reproductive performance these three organophosphorus pesticides could be ranked nuvan greater than methyl parathion greater than thimet.For more Ecotoxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for PHORATE (13 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
| FIFRA-Anforderungen | Classified for restricted use and limited to use by or under the direct supervision of a certified applicator. Formulation: Liquid formulations 65% and greaterUse Pattern. All usesClassification: RestrictedCriteria Influencing Restriction: Acute dermal toxicity. Residue effects on avian species (applies to foliar applications only). Residue effects on mammalian species (applies to foliar applications only).As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their future use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether they are eligible for reregistration. In addition, all pesticides must meet the new safety standard of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Phorate is found on List A, which contains most food use pesticides and consists of the 194 chemical cases (or 350 individual active ingredients) for which EPA issued registration standards prior to FIFRA, as amended in 1988. Case No: 0103Pesticide type: InsecticideRegistration Standard Date: 08/01/84Case Status: OPP is reviewing data from the pesticide's producers regarding its human health and/or environmental effects, or OPP is determining the pesticide's eligibility for reregistration and developing the Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document.Active ingredient (AI): PhorateData Call-in (DCI) Date(s): 10/14/92, 10/13/95AI Status: The producers of the pesticide have made commitments to conduct the studies and pay the fees required for reregistration, and are meeting those commitments in a timely manner.Tolerances are established for combined residues of the insecticide phorate (O,O-diethyl S((ethylthio)methyl)phosphorodithioate) and its cholinesterase-inhibiting metabolites in or on raw agricultural commodities as follows: beanbeet, sugar, rootsbeet, sugar, topscoffee beancorn, foragecorn, graincorn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husks removedcottonseedhoppeanutpotatosorghum, foddersorghum, grainsoybeansugarcanewheat, grainwheat, green fodderand wheat, straw.EPA has completed its review of public comments on the revised risk assessments and is issuing its risk management decisions for phorate. The decisions outlined in this document do not include the final tolerance reassessment decision for phoratehowever, some tolerance actions will be undertaken prior to completion of the final tolerance reassessment. EPA has proposed to revoke tolerances in or on meat, milk, poultry and eggs for residues of phorate because the Agency has determined that there are no reasonable expectations of finite residues and the tolerances are not necessary. Some tolerance reassessment actions such as revocations on alfalfa and barley have already been finalized while other tolerance reassessment decisions for this chemical will be issued once the cumulative assessment for all of the organophosphates is complete. The Agency may need to pursue further risk management measures for phorate once the cumulative assessment is finalized. |

Beschreibung
Phorate is a colorless oil. The water solubility is 50 mg/L (25 C). It is miscible with common organic solvents. Log Kow = 3.92. Phorate is relatively unstable to hydrolysis in aqueous media; DT50 values at pH 7 and 9 are 3.2 and 3.9 d, respectively. Phorate is effective against sucking plant pests as a systemic insecticide-acaricide and also has good contact and vapor actions. It is usually formulated as granules. The acute oral LD50 for rats is 1.6–3.7 mg/kg. Inhalation LC50 (1 h) for rats is 0.06–0.011 mg/L air. ADI is 0.5 μg/kg b.w.
Verwenden
Phorate is a non-biocumulative organophosphate used as an insecticide and acaricide. Phorate is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase.
