Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS&WORKERS
These workers must refer to the Product Label and Directions for Use attached to the product for
Agricultural Use Requirements in accordance with Standard.
MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL BLENDING, &PACKAGING WORKERS
Ventilation: No special precautions are recommended.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should not be required for normal use and
handling. During periods of abnormal exposure that heavy spray or
mist, use NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment for pesticide vapor/mist
is recommended. The respirator use limitations specified by
NOISH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be observed.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles during mixing/pouring operations or other
activities in which eye contact with undiluted material is likely to occur.
Protective Clothing: In cases in which prolonged or repeated skin contact with this material
may occur, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and chemical protective (e.g.
rubber) gloves are recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin
after handling. Clothing soaked with a solution of this material should be
promptly removed and laundered before reuse.

Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity
General: This material is stable for at least five years under normal conditions of warehouse storage.
Heated facilities are not required.
Incompatible Materials: Spray solutions of this product should be mixed, stored, or applied only in
stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, and plastic-lined containers. DO NOT MIX,
STORE, OR APPLY THIS PRODUCT, IN GALVANIZED OR UNLINED STEEL (EXCEPT
STAINIZED OR UNLINED STEEL EXCEPT STAINLESS STEEL) CONTAINEEERS OR
SRRAY TANKS. This product, or spray solutions of this product react with such
containers and tanks to produce hydrogen gas, which may from a highly combustible
gas mixture. This gas mixture could flash or explode causing serious personal injury if
ignited by open flame, spark, welder's torch, lighted cigarette, or other ignition source.
Hazardous Decomposition: None determined
Hazardous Polymerization: Material is not known to polymerize. This product can react with
caustic (basic) materials to liberate heat. This is not a polymerization, but rather a
chemical neutralization in an acid-base reaction.
Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Acute toxicity :
Acute oral toxicity: LD50 (male and female rats) >5000 mg/kg (Toxicity Category III)
Acute dermal toxicity : LD50 (female rabbits) 7490 mg/kg
LD50 (male rabbits) : 5010 mg/kg (Toxicity Category III)
Acute Inhalation: LC50 (4 h) for rats >4.98 mg/l air
Eye irritation: Slight eye irritant.
Skin Irritation: Non-irritating.
No skin irritation, allergy, or photo allergy was reported in human volunteers following repeated skin
exposure. No skin irritation or photo irritation was reported with single skin exposure. No skin allergy
was observed in guinea pigs following repeated skin exposure.
Following repeated skin exposure (3-week) to this material at 5-times the intended use
concentration, severe skin irritation and systemic toxic effects(death, reduced food consumption,
body weight loss, and testicular effects) were observed in rabbits.
Slight to moderate skin irritation was the only effect in rabbits treated with 3-times the intended use
concentration. Systemic toxic effects at 5-times use concentration were considered to be a
secondary response to the stress of severe skin irritation, to which rabbits are particularly sensitive,
rather than the result of direct systemic toxicity. There was no evidence of cholinesterase inhibition
in dogs (single oral doses). Minor nasal irritation was observed following repeated inhalation
(4-weeks) of a 33% solution of this material by rats. When this material was applied to skin or rhesus
monkeys, an extremely low amount (1.8%) of the active ingredient was absorbed.
Section 12 - Ecological Information
Fish toxicity : LC50 (96 h) trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) 8.2 mg/L.
LC50 (96 h) sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) 5.8 mg/L.
Invertebrates : EC50( 48 h) water flea (Daphnia magna) 11 mg/L.
