Section 5 ?Fire Fighting Measures
Fire and Explosion:
Flash Point (Test Method): Not available
Flammable Limits(% in Air): Lower: % Not available Upper: % Not available
Autoignition Temperature: Not available
Flammability: Not available
Usual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards:
During a fire, irritating and possible toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
In Case of Fire:
Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protection 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 us 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.

Section 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 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.
Section 7 ?Handling and Storage
Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of the reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages
or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a
potential for exposure to the material. Always wash thoroughly after handling.
Section 8 ?Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
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.
Ingestion: Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for 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: Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
exposure limits. A NIOSH-certified combination air-purifying respirator, with an N, P, or R 95 or HE class filter
and an organic vapor cartridge may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations
are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a
pressure demand atmosphere-supplying respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure
levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection.

Section 11 ?Toxicological Information - Continued
Carcinogenicity
Chlorothalonil: No evidence of carcinogenicity in dogs after administration for up to one year. Treatment related
increases in the incidence of renal tubular 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).
Other Toxicity Information
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 below these threshold levels. In addition, surveillance of chlorothalonil plant workers for over twenty years has not
demonstrated any increase in oncogenic potential to humans.
May cause sensitization by skin contact. Exposure of the skin to chlorothalonil may result in weak contact dermatitis.
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.
Surfactant
Prolonged exposure may result in temporary irritation of the eyes. Repeated skin contact may result in slight, temporary
irritation. Ingestion of large amounts will result in diarrhea and weakness. Inhalation overexposure will not occur during
normal use.
