Chloropicrin does not present a risk of concern to wild mammals, birds, bees, invertebrates, freshwater or marine invertebrates, fish and amphibians.[hc-sc.gc.ca]
In their gaseous form, they operate primarily by irritating the respiratory tract-including the mucous membranes, nasal passage, throat, airways, and lungs-and inducing swelling in these areas.[centerforhealthsecurity.org]
Some patients with severe coughs fail to develop serious lung injury, while o thers with little sign of early respiratory tract irritation develop fatal pulmonary edema.[floridapesticides.com]
Chlorine gas often caused victims to cough and choke violently; phosgene, by contrast, caused much less coughing, resulting in increased gas inhalation. 2 Military forces even formulated a "white star" concoction consisting of a phosgene-chlorine mix,[centerforhealthsecurity.org]
From 2002 to 2011, 787 people suffered symptoms including watery eyes, irritated lungs, coughing and headaches as a result of exposure to chloropicrin gas, state records show.[latimes.com]
, chest tightness, short breath, painful breathing, watery eyes Pulmonary edema, lung congestion and asphyxiation might not arise until 2-24 hours after overexposure Coughing, bloody sputum and general malaise may persist for several months Lung disease[sailhome.org]
Exposure to vapors leads to coughing, labored breathing, sore throat, dizziness, bluish skin, vomiting, and in some instances, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. [2] Contact with skin or eyes Contact with chloropicrin can lead to chemical burns[emedicine.medscape.com]
Nausea and vomiting may appear. As the edema progresses, discomfort, apprehension and dyspnea increase and frothy sputum develops. The patient may develop shock-like symptoms, with pale, clammy skin, low blood pressure and feeble, rapid heartbeat.[floridapesticides.com]
Nausea, vomiting (emesis), and diarrhea. Headache. Dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, anxiety, lethargy, and fatigue. Bluish discoloration of the skin (cyanosis) is possible due to methemoglobinemia.[change.org]
DELAYED EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE : Persons exposed to chloropicrin (PS) as a war gas were reported to have experienced nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea lasting for weeks.[cdc.gov]
Exposed persons reported the following signs and symptoms: Eye pain, burning, or lacrimation (in 99% of cases) Respiratory symptoms, including cough, dyspnea, or upper respiratory irritation (51%) Gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea, vomiting,[emedicine.medscape.com]

failure. 14 Chloropicrin exposure causes skin irritation, chemical burns, and vomiting, and it inflicts severe damage upon the respiratory lining. 15 The long-term results of choking agent exposure include permanent damage to the lung tissues and heart[centerforhealthsecurity.org]
An intentional ingestion of 100 mL of chloropicrin sodium solution resulted in death from metabolic acidosis and acute heartfailure approximately 7 hours after ingestion. [5] Homicidal intoxication has also been reported, in which an 18-year-old female[emedicine.medscape.com]
Under normal atmospheric conditions, chloropicrin is a volatile, colourless to faint yellow oily liquid, with an extremely irritating and penetrating smell that induces lacrimation.[medicinesinpregnancy.org]
This suggests that current methods of fumigant containment and/or buffer zone requirements are insufficient under some circumstances.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] effects is based in part on observations made about animals LD50 for ingestion by rats is 100 mg/kg (100 ppm) LC50 for 4-hour inhalation by rats is 1000 ppm Hydrolysis half-life can range from 20 minutes to 3 days Dow's own research on rat metabolism suggests[sailhome.org]
However, new research suggests that the tasty fruit comes with a heavy price for local communities because of the extensive use of harmful pesticides.[foreffectivegov.org]
The effect on the eyes, however is instantaneous, suggests a physical or a molecular effect, and is a striking example of specificity.[gwpda.org]

Citing a long EPA history of “inhumane neglect of toxic pesticide effects on farmworker community health,” the groups asked the Administrator to amend a recent May 2009 decision that allows the continued use of hazardous soil fumigant pesticides.[beyondpesticides.org]
Workups performed after symptomatic chloropicrine exposure should include CK-level determination.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There are no guidelines regarding the treatment of chloropicrin poisoning during pregnancy. Where required, treatment should be the same as for the non-pregnant patient.[medicinesinpregnancy.org]
Treatments for toxicant-induced corneal injury are generally supportive as no specific therapeutics exist to treat these injuries.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fumigation is an effective treatment technique however, it’s not a prevention method. Fumigation controls drywood termite colonies that are active at the time of treatment, but offers no protection against future colonies.[termites.com]

Epidemiology Frequency United States Chloropicrin is commonly used as a soil fumigant for agricultural pest control. [3] Human exposures have occurred in the United States, usually in residential areas in close proximity to agricultural areas.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Growers will be restricted to fumigating 40 acres a day unless they use stronger tarps to prevent the chemical from drifting away.[latimes.com]
It is more difficult to prevent drywood termite infestations than subterranean termite infestations, since there are more potential entry points for drywood termites.[termites.com]
