Notes to Physician
There is no specific antidote if this product is ingested.
Treat symptomatically.
Persons suffering a temporary allergic reaction may respond to treatment with antihistamines or steroid creams and/or
systemic steroids.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion
Flash Point (Test Method): > 212癋
Flammable Limits (% in Air): Lower: % Not Applicable Upper: % Not Applicable
Autoignition Temperature: Not Available
Flammability: Not Applicable
Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards
During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
In Case of Fire
Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of
combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated. Water runoff can cause
environmental damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In Case of Spill or Leak
Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage
and drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment
Section. Cover entire spill with absorbing material and place into compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard
water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional
absorbent and place into compatible disposal container. Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal
container, seal container and arrange for disposition.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages
or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is
a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Product Name: Page: 2
CONCERT
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR
THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION, PACKAGING AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT LABEL.
Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for
Ingestion:
exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Eye Contact: Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
Skin Contact: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls, socks and
chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant headgear.
Inhalation: A respirator is not normally required when handling this substance. Use effective engineering controls to
comply with occupational exposure limits.
In case of emergency spills, use a NIOSH approved respirator with any N, R, P or HE filter.

CONCERT
Propiconazole: None observed.
Chronic/Subchronic Toxicity Studies
In dogs, 1 years administration caused a significant decrease in body weight gain and
Chlorothalonil:
increases in absolute liver and kidney weights.
Neurotoxicity: No evidence in regulatory studies.
None observed.
Propiconazole:
Carcinogenicity
Chlorothalonil: No evidence of carcinogenicity in dogs after administration for up to one year. Treament related
increases in the incidence of renal tubular adenoma and carcinoma were observed in rats and male
mice. Squamous cell adenomas and carcinomas were also observed in the forestomach of both
species. The forestomach tumors seen in rodent studies are not relevant to human health, as
humans do not possess an anatomical equivalent of the rodent forestomach. The relevance of
renal tumors to human health is unclear, although metabolism data suggest that the dog, a species
that is resistant to chlorothalonil-induced renal injury, may be more representative of humans
than the rat. IARC identifies chlorothalonil as a 2B carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic to humans).
Propiconazole: Increased incidence of liver tumors at extremely high doses (male mice).
Other Toxicity Information
Based on the inhalation toxicity of chlorothalonil technical, the LC50 of this formulation is expected to be > 0.10 mg/l.
This formulation should be considered a respiratory irritant.
Toxicity of Other Components
Propylene Glycol
Reported to cause central nervous system depression (anesthesia, dizziness, confusion), headache and nausea.
Also, eye irritation may occur with lacrimation but no residual discomfort or injury. Prolonged contact to skin
may cause mild to moderate irritation and possible allergic reactions. Chronic dietary exposure caused kidney
and liver injury in experimental animals.
