How might I be exposed to diazinon?

Since Diazinon is only used in agricultural settings, the main way in which the general public could be exposed is through eating food treated with diazinon. Diazinon may also be present in surface or well water as a result of run-off and movement through the soil from areas where diazinon is used in farming.

Diazinon exposure can also happen if you get it on your skin or breathe it in. Unless you work in an agricultural setting where diazinon is in use, being exposed in these ways is not likely.

Food-primary source of exposure
Small amounts of Diazinon have been detected in foods sold to consumers, but studies by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have found that the levels in food are far below the level that might cause any harmful health effects.

Air
You may be exposed to Diazinon in air in agricultural areas where Diazinon is extensively used or in urban areas where it is applied to lawns and gardens.

Drinking water
You may be exposed to Diazinon by drinking contaminated water.

Recently sprayed plants
You may be exposed to Diazinon by touching diazinon-treated plant materials such as grass clippings.

Workplace
People who work in the manufacture and professional application of Diazinon have the most significant exposure to this insecticide.

Consumer products
Although Diazinon was formerly used as the active ingredient in home and garden pest control products, sale of these home and garden products in the United States was stopped in 2004. However, previously purchased diazinon-containing home and garden products may still be in use and present the potential for exposure.
