Chronic Effects:
Increased risk with Wilson's Disease. Toxicity caused by accumulation of copper in
sensitive individuals.
The Substituted Pyrrolidone may cause irritation of skin and mucous membranes due to
defatting properties of the solvent which may lead to dermatitis. This solvent has not been
proven to be a carcinogen by chronic inhalation. This solvent is rapidly distributed
throughout the body and is mainly eliminated via the urine.
In animal experiments high maternal doses of Substituted Pyrrolidone have been observed
to cause developmental toxicity. These concentrations will not be reached in cases of
exclusively vapour exposure or if skin contact is avoided with the product in concentrated
and diluted form and on handling recently treated timber.
Conflicting negative and positive results in mutagenicity and carcinogenicity are
inconclusive. Carbendazim is a Category 3 Mutagen, i.e. insufficient evidence to classify
as a mutagen. Studies indicate that reproductive and teratogenic effects in humans are
unlikely at expected exposure levels.
First Aid:
Swallowed: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Contact a doctor or Poisons
Information Centre (0800 764 766) immediately and show the container or
MSDS.
Eye: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for a
minimum of 15 minutes and contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre
(0800 764 766).
Skin: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of warm soapy water.
Seek medical advice if skin irritation persists.
Inhaled: Remove victim to fresh air. Lay patient down and keep warm and rested.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing or if breathing is shallow. Seek
medical assistance.
First Aid Facilities:
Ensure an eye wash and safety showers are available and ready for use.
