None under normal conditions
Conditions to avoid:
Reaction of the concentrate or spray mix with acids will precipitate
Incompatible materials :
solid acids of the active constituents and largely de-activate the
product and cause blockages in the spray vat.
Addition of a strong alkali such as caustic soda will cause release of
dimethylamine vapour. Dimethylamine is moderately toxic, LD50
(oral, rat) is 700mg/kg and a TLV of 10ppm (TWA) has been set.

Mild skin irritant. (dicamba and MCPA)
Skin irritation:
Not sensitising - guinea pig
Sensitisation:
Chronic:
Repeated absorption of relatively large amounts of MCPA presents a risk to liver and kidneys.
Repeated absorption of relatively large amounts of dicamba may cause myotoxic muscular spasms,
urinary incontinence and, if excessive, dyspnea, cyanosis and exhaustion. No information currently
available on chronic effects of mecoprop.
Not considered mutagenic, teratogenic or carcinogenic.

and
MCPA is rapidly degraded by soil microorganisms and it has low persistence,
degradability,
with a reported field half-life of 14 days to 1 month, depending on soil moisture
mobility
and soil organic matter. The half-life is 5 to 6 days in slightly acidic to slightly
alkaline soils. MCPA readily leaches in most soils. It is relatively stable to light
breakdown. Rapid degradation in soil, halflife typically 7 days.
Dicamba - loss from soil primarily by microbial degradation.
12) DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Triple or preferable pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the mixing tank. Do not
dispose of undiluted chemical on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler
or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a
local authority landfill. If no landfill is available bury the containers below 500mm in a disposal pit
specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots.
Empty containers and product should not be burnt.
