Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure
Eye Contact: Causes eye burns.
Skin Contact: Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through skin. Can cause an
allergic skin reaction. Exposure of the skin to chlorothalonil may result in weak
contact dermatitis.
Ingestion: Not a hazard under normal use conditions.
Inhalation: May be fatal if inhaled.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water.
Skin Contact: Immediately wash with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Slowly dilute with 1-2 glasses of water or milk and seek
medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing or if breathing is difficult, give artificial
respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Seek medical attention.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicity Test:
Acute Oral LD50 (mg/kg): >5,000 (rat)
Acute Dermal LD50 (mg/kg): >1,000 (rabbit)
Acute Inhalation LC50 (mg/l): 0.1 (see "other information: inhalation" in this section)
Sensitization: Skin sensitizer.
Mutagenicity: Studies on rats and mice have suggested that technical chlorothalonil (97%), when
fed at high levels in the diet, may have oncogenic potential to these laboratory
animals. However, neither chlorothalonil nor its metabolites interact with DNA and
thus are not mutagenic. Tumor formation has been related to a non- genotoxic
mechanism of action for which threshold levels have been established in rats and
mice. Comprehensive dietary and worker exposure studies have shown exposure
levels for humans to be well under these threshold levels. In addition, surveillance of
chlorothalonil plant workers for over twenty years has not demonstrated any increase
in oncogenic potential to humans.
Reproductive/Developmental No evidence of adverse developmental effects in rabbit and rat studies.
Toxicity: (Chlorothalonil)

Carcinogenicity: No evidence of carcinogenicity in dogs after administration for up to one year.
Treatment related increases in the incidence of renal tubular adenoma and
carcinoma were 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). (Chlorothalonil)
Amorphous Silica is listed as an IARC (Group 3) carcinogen not classifiable as a
human carcinogen (No Data Available) with limited animal evidence. Prolonged
exposure to amorphous silica may cause damage to respiratory sytem and irritation
to skin and eyes.
Propylene Glycol is 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.
Skin Irritation: Irritating to rabbit skin.
Eye Irritation: Corrosive to rabbit eye.
Other Information: INHALATION: Rat studies using finely milled chlorothalonil material (98% pure)
showed an LC50 of 100 mg/m3 (0.1 mg/l). At all exposure concentrations there were
clinical signs of respiratory tract irritation. There was no evidence of systematic
effects resulting from these tests. This data indicate that chlorothalonil, expecially
finely ground material, presents a significant acute inhalation hazard.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Biodegradability: Degradation is faster in biotic aquatic systems, typical DT50 (aerobic) <8h,
(anerobic) <10d. A wide variety of metabolites is formed, which are in turn degraded
further.
Aquatic Toxicity: Bees LC50=181 ug/bee
Rainbow trout, 96 hr. LC50=0.04 ppm
Bluegill Sunfish, 96 hr. LC50=0.06 ppm
Daphnia Magna, EC50=0.068 ppm
Bobwhite, 8-day dietary LC50 >10,000 ppm
Mallard, 8-day dietary LC50 > 10,000 ppm
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Disposal of Waste Method: Federal, state and local disposal laws and regulations will determine the proper
waste disposal/recycling/reclamation procedure. Disposal requirements are
dependent on the hazard classification and will vary by location and the type of
disposal selected.
