Chlorinated-hydrocarbon <br /> esticides are relatively persistent in the natural environment and are <br /> p y p efficiently absorbed by <br /> ingestion. The toxic mechanism associated with DDT, DDE, and other organochlorine <br /> pesticides is not well.known. In general, these compounds stimulate or depress the central <br /> nervous system. Toxic symptoms vary with the specific pesticide and may include nausea, <br /> C <br /> convulsions, coma, mental confusion, or headache, sweating, vomiting, irritation of eyes and <br /> skin, palsy, dizziness, lethargy, weakness, and paralysis of hands, tongue, lips and face. <br /> Symptoms have been reported as soon as 30 minutes after massive exposure but generally <br /> develop more slowly. <br /> w <br /> Respiratory Hazards <br /> Respiratory hazards that workers may encounter during the soil sampling project include <br /> exposure to vapors, gasses, or dusts during material handling and decontamination. Sulfur <br /> dioxide generation is possible, if fertilizer material has decomposed in surrounding sumps or <br /> tanks. Precautions will be taken to minimize dust generation during work activities. During <br /> project activities, ingestion is,unlikely. However, to prevent ingestion, workers should wash <br /> C, their hands and faces prior to eating, drinking, smoking, or using rest room facilities. <br /> L <br /> Sierra-Pacific Groundwater Consultants, Inc. 11 <br />
