SECTION 5 : FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion : Induce vomiting after drinking water. Get prompt medical attention. General
medical treatment for chemical toxication should be followed. Never give fluids
or induce vomiting if patient is unconscious or having convulsions.
Eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention.
Skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin throughly with soap and water.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Keep warm. Get medical attention.
Notes to physician :
Poisoning symptoms : Headache, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting, salivation, diarrhoea,
perspiration, blurred vision, respiratory difficulties and muscle twitching.
Medical treatment : Treatment is symptomatic. Inject atropine sulphate (2 - 4 mg) subcutaneously
or intravenously; repeat every 30 minutes until patient is fully atropinised. If
swallowed, gastric lavage should be performed if patient is not vomiting. For
emergency measures, give activated charcoal followed by emesis and gastric
lavage.
SECTION 6 : FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media : Foam, CO2, dry chemical.
Fire fighting instruction : Fire fighters should wear full-faced self-contained breathing apparatus
and protective clothing.
Special hazards : May produce toxic fumes on decomposition in a fire.
SECTION 7 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE
Leak and/or Spill :
Wear protective clothing as indicated in Section 8. Evacuate non essential personnel. Collect the spill
into waste container for disposal. Wash the contaminated area with a little water and detergent. Adsorb
with inert material such as clay or earth. Collect into the same container for disposal. Prevent the spillage
from entering local drainage system.

NOEL (Rat) female : 2.8mg/kg/day
Mutagenicity :
Thiobencarb Technical
Negative (Ames test / Chromosome aberration test)
Carcinogenicity : No data available
Reproductive effect : No data available
Effects of overexposure:
Thiobencarb Technical
Eye Irritation : (Rabbit) No irritation (10 mg/eye)
Skin Irritation : (Rabbit) No irritation (1,000 mg/9cm2)
Sensitizing Effect : No data available. However, Kumiai formulated products containing
thiobencarb have no sensitizing potential.
Kumiai Chemical has never faced poisoning problem attributed to thiobencarb on laboratory
researchers, factory workers and users, however, over-exposure experiments on animals
showed that administration of an extra-ordinary large quantity of thiobencarb may cause
hypoactivity, abnormal walking and prostration.
2,4-D BE Technical
Headache, weakness, nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhoea
Chronic effects : No data available
Target organs : No data available
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by exposure : No data available

Phenoxy herbicides at normal use rate appear to have hardly any direct effect on insects. However, when
these herbicides are sprayed on plants at flowering stage, it is likely that bees and other honey-sucking
insects may receive more effect.
