SECTION XI. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (Continued)
Mutagenicity: A study performed with copper sulphate on mice showed mutagenicity in a chromosomal aberration test; however, the route
of exposure (i.e., intraperitoneal) is not likely to be applicable to workplace use of this product.
Reproductive Toxicity: No reproductive effects were shown in a feeding test performed with copper sulphate on rats and mice.
Teratogenicity: Embryotoxicity was not seen at non-maternally toxic doses of copper sulphate in the relevant studies reviewed.
Toxicologically Synergistic Materials: Not available.
Other Chronic Effects: Long term inhalation of copper sulfate containing mists (i.e., Bordeaux mixture) may cause adverse effects to the
liver and kidneys. A sub-chronic test performed on rats and mice showed that at high exposure levels in feed (>4000 ppm) cupric sulfate is
toxic to the liver and kidneys.
Additional Information: Inhalation of dust and mists of copper salts can result in irritation of nasal mucous membranes, sometimes of the
pharynx and, on occasion ulceration with perforation of the nasal septum. Exposure to copper dust causes discoloration of the skin.
Note to Physician: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Measures against circulatory shock,
respiratory depression and convulsions may be needed. Wilson's disease or G6PD deficiency (individual who absorbs, retains and
stores copper) can be aggravated by excessive exposure. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, diarrhea,
dizziness, jaundice, and general debility.

**Section VI. Accidental Release Measures**
Small Spill Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material
in an appropriate waste disposal.
Large Spill Issue warning "Combustible". Eliminate all ignition
sources. Handling equipment must be grounded. Isolate
hazard area and restrict access. Try to work upwind of
spill. Avoid direct contact with material. Wear appropriate
breathing apparatus (if applicable) and protective
clothing. Stop leak only if safe to do so. Dike and contain
land spills; contain water spills by booming. Use water fog
to knock down vapours; contain runoff. For large spills
remove by mechanical means and place in containers. Absorb
residue or small spills with absorbent material and remove
to non-leaking containers for disposal. Recommended
materials: Clay or Sand Flush area with water to remove
trace residue. Dispose of recovered material as noted under
Disposal Considerations. Notify appropriate environmental
agency(ies).
**Section VII. Handling and Storage**
Precautions Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Ground all equipment containing material. DO NOT ingest.
Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Wear suitable
protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation,
wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek
medical advice immediately and show the container or the
label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from
incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids. Hot surfaces
may be sufficient to ignite liquid even in the absence of
sparks or flames. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and
turn off other sources of ignition prior to use and until
all vapours are gone. Vapours may accumulate and travel to
distant ignition sources and flashback. Empty containers
may contain hazardous product residues. Do not pressurize
drum containers to empty them. Fixed equipment as well as
transfer containers and equipment should be grounded to
prevent accumulation of static charge. Do not cut, drill,
grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near
containers. Air-dry contaminated clothing in a well
ventilated area before laundering. Launder contaminated
clothing prior to reuse. Use good personal hygiene.
Storage Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container
in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly
closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible
sources of ignition (spark or flame). Use explosion-proof
ventilation to prevent vapour accumulation.
**Section VIII. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection**
Engineering Make up air should always be supplied to balance air
Controls exhausted (either generally or locally). Local ventilation
recommended where mechanical ventilation is ineffective in
controlling airborne concentrations below the recommended
occupational exposure limit. Concentrations in air should
be maintained below the recommended threshold limit value
if unprotected personnel are involved. For personnel entry
into confined spaces (i.e. bulk storage tanks) a proper
confined space entry procedure must be followed including
ventilation and testing of tank atmosphere. Electrical and
mechanical equipment should be explosion-proof. Mechanical
ventilation is recommended for all indoor situations to
control fugitive emissions. Ensure that eyewash stations
and safety showers are proximal to the work-station
location.
Personal Chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield to protect
Protection eyes and face, if product is handled such that it could be
splashed into eyes. Impervious gloves (neoprene) should be
worn at all times when handling this product. Impervious
clothing (apron, coveralls) should
also be worn in confined workspaces or where the risk of
skin exposure is much higher. Safety showers should be
available for emergency use. If exposure exceeds
occupational exposure limits, use an appropriate
NIOSH-approved respirator. Use a NIOSH-approved chemical
cartridge respirator with organic vapour cartridges or use
a NIOSH-approved supplied-air respirator. For high airborne
concentrations, use a NIOSH-approved supplied-air
respirator, either self-contained or airline breathing
apparatus, operated in positive pressure mode.
