Subject: Paraoxone?




Has anyone ever worked with paraoxone?  One of our folks was asking me
questions about it, and I had a little information from some of my reference
materials, but no practical knowledge.  One of the big questions was in
regards to toxicity - the group found conflicting MSDSs which stated
alternatively that it's not a hazard at all versus it's a horribly toxic
hazard.  Then someone else added to the confusion by telling them it's
"1,000 times more toxic than parathion," which I couldn't find any data to
support.  I'd like to be able to tell them what the real risks and hazards
would be if they decided to go ahead with their project.

Thanks,
Wendy
