SCHEDULE VI
[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.

50

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.
