IDENTIFICATION |
NFPA: Health -1 Flammability -0 Reactivity -0 EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW Avoid contact with eyes – may cause eye irritation. Avoid
prolonged/repeated contact withthe skin – may cause skin
irritation.Avoid releases to lakes or streams -toxic to aquatic
organisms. Page 2.
| Section 3: HAZARDS
IDENTIFICATION Cont. |
3.1 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (if product not handled in
the recommended manner)EYE: Contact with the eyes may cause
slight (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is
unlikely.SKIN CONTACT: Contact with product -repeated/prolonged
skin contact may cause slight skin irritation.SKIN ABSORPTION:
Absorption is unlikely to occur.INGESTION: Single oral dose
toxicity is low. Ingestion of product may cause irritation of
the gastrointestinal tract possibly resulting in upset stomach, vomiting
and/or diarrhea. INHALATION: Inhalation of product vapors (low)
is not considered to be hazardous CHRONIC
EFFECTS/CARCINOGENICITY: Not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC
or OSHA. See Section 11, Toxicological Information
| Section 4: FIRST AID
MEASURES |
4.1 EYES: Immediately flush with large quantities of
water for 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart during irrigation to
insure thorough flushing of the entire area of the eye and lids.
Obtain immediate medical attention. Continue flushing if medical
help not immediately available. 4.2 SKIN: Immediately flush with large quantities of
water for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing under a
safety shower. Do not neutralize with chemical agents. Obtain
medical attention if irritation occurs. 4.3 INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give 1 or 2
glasses of water. If vomiting does occur, repeat fluid
administration. If unconscious or convulsing, do not give
fluids. Obtain immediate medical attention. 4.4 INHALATION: Remove victim from contaminated
atmosphere. If breathing is labored, administer oxygen. If
breathing has ceased, clear airway and start mouth to mouth
resuscitation. If heart has stopped beating, external heart
massage should be applied. Obtain immediate medical attention.
| Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING
MEASURES |
5.1 FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES FLASH POINT: 200°F (93.3°C)
METHOD USED: SCC 5.2 FLAMMABLE LIMITS Not determined 5.3 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Product is water based and will
not burn. Use extinguishing media as appropriate for
combustibles involved in fire. 5.4 FIRE & EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS: Product will not burn
unless sufficient water is evaporated. At this point,
product will exhibit flammability characteristics of organic
portion of the formulation. Wear self contained breathing
apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with
skin and eyes. Product will evolve toxic fumes (NOx, F
-, Cl -) if heated to decomposition. Page 3
| Section 5: FIRE
FIGHTING MEASURES, Cont. |
Keep containers/storage vessels in fire area cooled with
water spray. - FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing
apparatus, pressure demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or
equivalent) and full protective gear.
- Small releases: Do not wash small spills away. Instead,
sprinkle the spill with sawdust, Sorbal or kitty litter
to soak up spilled material then shovel up the absorbed
material into a suitable container for disposal. Dispose
as directed by the pesticide product label.
| Section 6: ACCIDENTAL
RELEASE MEASURES |
- Large releases: Cordon off area of spillage and dike area
with dirt, sand or other inert material to prevent any
further migration. Recover as much of usable product for
application (best disposal practice). Handle remaining
material as a small spill above.
- Handling: Keep out of reach of children. Use only in a
well ventilated area. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin and
eyes. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling. Wash exposed clothing before reuse.
