USES/FORMS/SOURCES
Aldrin is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide of the cyclodiene type; it is no longer manufactured in the USA, but some is imported solely for use in termite control by subsurface soil injection (Sittig, 1985; Budavari, 1989).
Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide compounds are very toxic because they are LIPHOPHILIC -- high solubility in fats makes the NERVOUS SYSTEM the major target organ (EOSH, 1983). Aldrin is rapidly metabolized to DIELDRIN , an experimental animal carcinogen (Proctor et al, 1988).
-CLINICAL EFFECTS
GENERAL CLINICAL EFFECTS
- Aldrin is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide in the cyclodiene family which is no longer manufactured in the US. This review is based on the properties of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides in general, with effects specific to aldrin identified. The primary target of action is the central nervous system. CNS excitation, myoclonic jerking, and recurrent convulsions may occur. Respiratory depression may occur concurrently with coma and is usually the immediate cause of death.
- POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 151 (ERG, 2004)
Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
- POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004)
TOXIC; may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with some of these materials will irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
ACUTE CLINICAL EFFECTS
- Aldrin can be absorbed by inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact (Clayton & Clayton, 1981; AAR, 1987; Sax & Lewis, 1989). It is a respiratory depressant, and a CNS excitant and convulsant. Seizures may occur as an early sign, and may recur over several days following acute exposure. Clonic jerking movements have been reported with aldrin poisoning. Metabolic acidosis may result (Clinical Notes, 1984; (EPA, 1985; Proctor et al, 1988; Morgan, 1989).
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated serum liver enzymes, and hepatic necrosis may occur (Clayton & Clayton, 1981; Proctor et al, 1988; HSDB , 1990). Some skin irritation may result from extensive contact with the organochlorines or with the petroleum distillates in which they are dissolved. Dermatitis is unusual with this compound; however, erythematobullous dermatitis has been reported. Generally, only minor erythema is caused by skin contact with pure aldrin. Commercial formulations may contain more irritating components (Clayton & Clayton, 1981; Proctor et al, 1988).
CHRONIC CLINICAL EFFECTS
- The neurologic effects seen with chronic exposure to aldrin are similar to those seen with acute exposure. Aldrin may produce CNS excitement, EEG abnormalities, and tonic-clonic seizures. No permanent disabilities were found in workers who had experienced aldrin-induced seizures (Hoogendam et al, 1962; Kazantzis et al, 1964; Hoogendam et al, 1965; Gupta, 1975; Baselt & Cravey, 1989).
- Hepatomegaly and fatty degenerative changes in the kidneys were seen in experimental animals. Anorexia and weight loss may occur (Fitzhugh et al, 1964; Clayton & Clayton, 1981). In experimental animals, aldrin affected the formation of antibodies against E. coli (HSDB , 1990).

Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. Wash skin with soap and water. Keep victim warm and quiet. In case of burns, immediately cool affected skin for as long as possible with cold water. Do not remove clothing if adhering to skin. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
INHALATION EXPOSURE INHALATION: Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with an inhaled beta2-adrenergic agonist. Consider systemic corticosteroids in patients with significant bronchospasm. DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and jewelry and place them in plastic bags. Wash exposed areas with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes with gentle sponging to avoid skin breakdown. A physician may need to examine the area if irritation or pain persists (Burgess et al, 1999). First responders should wear protective clothing to prevent secondary contamination. Be prepared to collect any vomitus or excreta in a manner to prevent further contamination; bag and treat as hazardous waste. All persons with significant inhalation exposure should be admitted to a hospital and be observed and treated under controlled conditions until all acute clinical signs and symptoms have resolved. SEIZURES: Administer a benzodiazepine; DIAZEPAM (ADULT: 5 to 10 mg IV initially; repeat every 5 to 20 minutes as needed. CHILD: 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg IV over 2 to 5 minutes; up to a maximum of 10 mg/dose. May repeat dose every 5 to 10 minutes as needed) or LORAZEPAM (ADULT: 2 to 4 mg IV initially; repeat every 5 to 10 minutes as needed, if seizures persist. CHILD: 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg IV over 2 to 5 minutes, up to a maximum of 4 mg/dose; may repeat in 5 to 15 minutes as needed, if seizures continue). Consider phenobarbital or propofol if seizures recur after diazepam 30 mg (adults) or 10 mg (children greater than 5 years). Monitor for hypotension, dysrhythmias, respiratory depression, and need for endotracheal intubation. Evaluate for hypoglycemia, electrolyte disturbances, and hypoxia.
REFRACTORY SEIZURES: Consider continuous infusion of midazolam, propofol, and/or pentobarbital. Hyperthermia, lactic acidosis and muscle destruction may necessitate use of neuromuscular blocking agents with continuous EEG monitoring. Do not give oils by mouth. Do not administer adrenergic amines, which may further increase myocardial irritability and produce refractory ventricular arrhythmias.
DERMAL EXPOSURE DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and jewelry and place them in plastic bags. Wash exposed areas with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes with gentle sponging to avoid skin breakdown. A physician may need to examine the area if irritation or pain persists (Burgess et al, 1999). First responders should wear protective clothing to prevent secondary contamination. Be prepared to collect any vomitus or excreta in a manner to prevent further contamination; bag and treat as hazardous waste. All persons with significant dermal exposure should be admitted to a hospital and be observed and treated under controlled conditions until all acute clinical signs and symptoms have resolved. SEIZURES: Administer a benzodiazepine; DIAZEPAM (ADULT: 5 to 10 mg IV initially; repeat every 5 to 20 minutes as needed. CHILD: 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg IV over 2 to 5 minutes; up to a maximum of 10 mg/dose. May repeat dose every 5 to 10 minutes as needed) or LORAZEPAM (ADULT: 2 to 4 mg IV initially; repeat every 5 to 10 minutes as needed, if seizures persist. CHILD: 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg IV over 2 to 5 minutes, up to a maximum of 4 mg/dose; may repeat in 5 to 15 minutes as needed, if seizures continue). Consider phenobarbital or propofol if seizures recur after diazepam 30 mg (adults) or 10 mg (children greater than 5 years). Monitor for hypotension, dysrhythmias, respiratory depression, and need for endotracheal intubation. Evaluate for hypoglycemia, electrolyte disturbances, and hypoxia.
REFRACTORY SEIZURES: Consider continuous infusion of midazolam, propofol, and/or pentobarbital. Hyperthermia, lactic acidosis and muscle destruction may necessitate use of neuromuscular blocking agents with continuous EEG monitoring. Do not give oils by mouth. Do not administer adrenergic amines, which may further increase myocardial irritability and produce refractory ventricular arrhythmias.
EYE EXPOSURE DECONTAMINATION: Remove contact lenses and irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature 0.9% saline or water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist after 15 minutes of irrigation, the patient should be seen in a healthcare facility. DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and jewelry and place them in plastic bags. Wash exposed areas with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes with gentle sponging to avoid skin breakdown. A physician may need to examine the area if irritation or pain persists (Burgess et al, 1999). Carefully observe patient for development of clinical signs and symptoms, and administer treatment as described in DERMAL EXPOSURE where appropriate. All persons with significant exposure should be admitted to a hospital and be observed and treated under controlled conditions until all acute clinical signs and symptoms have resolved.
ORAL EXPOSURE Do NOT induce emesis. GASTRIC LAVAGE: Consider after ingestion of a potentially life-threatening amount of poison if it can be performed soon after ingestion (generally within 1 hour). Protect airway by placement in the head down left lateral decubitus position or by endotracheal intubation. Control any seizures first. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Administer charcoal as a slurry (240 mL water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents, 25 to 50 g in children (1 to 12 years), and 1 g/kg in infants less than 1 year old.
-RANGE OF TOXICITY
MINIMUM LETHAL EXPOSURE
The fatal dose for man has been estimated at 3 to 7 grams (Baselt, 1988), or between 7 drops or one ounce for a 150 pound adult human (EPA, 1985).
FELINE - Exposure over a few days to 76 parts per million aldrin in soil (5.2 parts per million dieldrin) was sufficient to kill 6-week-old kittens (Klemmer et al, 1977). OTHER - For one- to two-week old calves, the minimum toxic oral dose was 5.0 mg/kg and for cattle and sheep it was 25 mg/kg (HSDB , 1997).
MAXIMUM TOLERATED EXPOSURE
ORAL - Acute oral exposures exceeding 10 milligrams/kilogram cause illness (Clayton & Clayton, 1981). Severe symptoms may result from ingestion or percutaneous absorption of 1 to 3 grams, especially in the presence of liver disease (Budavari, 1996).
DERMAL - OCCUPATIONAL -
Rats tolerated dietary levels as high as 20 parts per million for 6 weeks with no apparent effects (HSDB , 1997). Based on a rat chronic feeding study, a lowest effect level (LEL) of 0.025 mg/kg/day has been calculated (EPA, 1988).

FIRE HAZARD
Editor's Note: Information from more than one emergency response guide is associated with this material. POTENTIAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 151 (ERG, 2004) Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.
POTENTIAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004) HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a "P" may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
Aldrin in a dry powder form will not burn, but if heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride and chlorinated breakdown products (NFPA, 1986; Sax & Lewis, 1989). Commercial solutions of aldrin may contain flammable or combustible liquids. Flash points are approximately 150 degrees F or higher (NFPA, 1986).

CONTAINMENT/WASTE TREATMENT OPTIONS
SPILL OR LEAK PRECAUTIONS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 151 (ERG, 2004) Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.
SPILL OR LEAK PRECAUTIONS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 131 (ERG, 2004) Fully encapsulating, vapor protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE CLOTHING - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 151 (ERG, 2004) Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible.

Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS - LAND SPILL (AAR, 1987) Aldrin, dry or solid: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, or holding area to contain material. Cover solids with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or fire fighting water.
Aldrin, liquid: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, or holding area to contain material. Dike surface flow using soil, sand bags, foamed polyurethane, or foamed concrete. Absorb bulk liquid with fly ash or cement powder.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS - WATER SPILL (AAR, 1987) Aldrin, dry or solid: Use natural deep water pockets, excavated lagoons, or sand bag barriers to trap material at bottom. If dissolved, in region of 10 ppm or greater concentration, apply activated carbon at ten times the spilled amount. Remove trapped material with suction hoses. Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates.
Aldrin, liquid: Use natural barriers or oil spill control booms to limit spill travel. Use surface active agent (e.g., detergent, soaps, alcohols) if approved by EPA. Inject "universal" gelling agent to solidify encircled spill and increase effectiveness of booms. If dissolved, in region of 10 ppm or greater concentration, apply activated carbon at ten times the spilled amount. Remove trapped material with suction hoses. Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates.
In situ amelioration: Aldrin can be absorbed on activated carbon. EUGLENA GRACILIS: Aldrin was photoisomerized by this green alga into photoaldrin. Extracted chlorophyll was also active. Phytoplankton may be useful for altering hazardous waste chemical in surface waters (Jakalski & Khan, 1993).
-ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD MANAGEMENT
POLLUTION HAZARD
- Aldrin's former use as a pesticide has resulted in its direct releases to the environment. It is an insecticide formerly used against termites and soil-dwelling pests such as ants, wireworms, or whitegrubs. The manufacture and use of aldrin has been discontinued in the United States (HSDB, 2003).
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND KINETICS
OTHER Under most environmental conditions, aldrin is gradually converted to dieldrin (HSDB , 1990). Aldrin mixed with river water dropped to 20% of its original concentration in 8 weeks (OHM/TADS , 1990). Aldrin residues in soil and plants will volatilize from soil surfaces or be slowly transformed to dieldrin in soil (HSDB , 1990). In soil, 26% of aldrin may be present after 1 year, 5% in 3 years (OHM/TADS , 1990). Aldrin was classified as moderately persistent, meaning its half-life in soil ranged from 20 to 100 days (HSDB , 1990).
Reports on leaching and field studies suggest that aldrin/dieldrin would be unlikely to leach to underground aquifers (EPA, 1988). However, detection of aldrin in New Jersey ground water (26% positive detections from 1076 samples; 1.2 ppb maximum) indicates that leaching does occur (HSDB , 1990). Vapor phase aldrin residues in the atmosphere are expected to react with photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of 35.46 minutes (HSDB , 1990).

- Harmful to aquatic life in very low concentrations (CHRIS , 1990).
- Photodieldrin, a photochemical isomer of dieldrin or aldrin, was found to be several times more toxic than the parent compound to flies, mosquitoes, and fresh water animals, and is more persistent in soil, detectable 10 years after initial treatment (Suzuki et al, 1974).
- This study reports the recovery of a sparrowhawk population in eastern England after a 20-year absence. The new population, starting in 1979, was correlated with a reduction contamination by organochlorine pesticide residues, namely HEOD (derived from aldrin and dieldrin) and DDE (derived from DDT). The number of nests in 1979 was 3 and had increased to 84 by 1989 (Newton & Wyllie, 1992).
- CATTLE: The sudden death of 10 calves and bizarre neurologic dysfunction in 8 addition calves prompted a toxicological analysis. Aldrin had contaminated the animal feed; 22.4 grams of aldrin were present per gram of digesta in one calf.
