HANDLING SPECIFIC AGRICHEMICALS: Precautions and additional first aid information

摘要

Insecticides are generally toxic to humans. However, some of the py-rethroids are very much more toxic to insects. This means they can be marketed in formulations which are dilute enough to offera high degree of safety to users while still being veryeffective against insects. These products are no longer registered for for use, and include dinoseb (a herbicide no longer registered for sale). All highly toxic; Rapidly absorbed into the body by inhalation, swallowing and skin contact. Can accumulate in the body after repeated exposures because elimination is slow.
