FENTHION Uses

1、Fenthion(55-38-9) is a contact and stomach insecticide used against many sucking, biting pests. It has been widely used in sugar cane, rice, field corn, beets, pome and stone fruit, citrus fruits, pistachio, cotton, olives, coffee, cocoa, vegetables, and vines.
2、Based on its high toxicity on birds, fenthion(55-38-9) has been used to control weaver birds and other pest-birds in many parts of the world. Fenthion is also used in cattle, swine, and dogs to control lice, fleas, ticks, flies, and other external parasites.

PackingGroup：  III
A human poison by an unspecified route. Poison experimentally by ingestion, skin contact, intraperitoneal, intravenous, and intramuscular routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation. Human systemic effects by ingestion: pulse rate increase, hypermotility, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of POx and SOx.

FENTHION Standards and Recommendations

FENTHION Specification

Health effects
Fenthion exposure to general population is quite limited based on its bioavailability. Common form of fenthion exposure is occupation related, and occurs through dermal contact or inhalation of dust and sprays.Another likely means of contamination is through ingestion of food, especially, if it has been applied quite recently with fenthion.So far, ingestion is the most likely severe poisoning case on humans and animals.
