a carcinogenic effect. May cause sensitisation by skin contact. Very toxic to aquatic
organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice: Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet
with you when calling the Syngenta emergency number, a poison control centre or
physician, or going for treatment.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at
least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Immediate medical attention is required.
Skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash skin
immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-use.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer
artificial respiration. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or Poison
Control Centre immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed seek medical advice immediately and show the container,
label or this Data Sheet, if possible. Do not induce vomiting.
Medical advice: There is no specific antidote available. Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media- small fires: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry
chemical or carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing media - large fires: Use alcohol-resistant foam or water spray.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Do not use a
solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific hazards during fire fighting: As the product contains combustible
organic components, fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous
products of combustion (see section 10). Exposure to decomposition products may
be a hazard to health.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear full protective clothing and
self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
courses. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible
absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in
container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13).
Additional advice: If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Advice on safe handling: No special protective measures required against fire
required. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
For personal protection see section 8.
Requirements for storage areas and containers: No special storage conditions
required. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Keep out of the reach of children. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding
stuffs.
Storage Life: Physically and chemically stable for at least 2 years when stored in
the original unopened sales container at ambient temperatures.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Controls
Occupational Exposure Limits - Hazardous ingredients
Propane-1,2-diol (Propylene glycol), HSE/EH40/2002, LTEL, 8 hr TWA Total
(vapour & particulates) 150 ppm 474 mg/m? Particulates: 10 mg/m?
Chlorothalonil, Syngenta Standard; 8 hr TWA 0.1 mg/m?br>
ENGINEERING MEASURES
Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical protection measure if
exposure cannot be eliminated. The extent of these protection measures depends
on the actual risks in use. If airborne mists or vapours are generated, use local
exhaust ventilation controls. Assess exposure and use any additional measures to
keep airborne levels below any relevant exposure limit. Where necessary, seek
additional occupational hygiene advice.

Personal Protection
When using this product refer to the label for details. In all other cases, use the
following Personal Protective Equipment:
Protective measures: The use of technical measures should always have priority
over the use of personal protective equipment. When selecting personal protective
equipment, seek appropriate professional advice. Personal protective equipment
should be certified to appropriate standards.
Respiratory protection: A combination gas, vapour and particulate respirator may
be necessary until effective technical measures are installed. Protection provided
by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in
cases of emergency spills, when exposure levels are unknown, or under any
circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Hand protection: Chemical resistant gloves should be used. Gloves should be
certified to an appropriate standard. Gloves should have a minimum breakthrough
time that is appropriate to the duration of exposure. The breakthrough time of
gloves varies according to the thickness, material and manufacturer. Gloves should
be changed when breakthrough is suspected. Suitable material: nitrile rubber.
Eye protection: If eye contact is possible, use tight-fitting chemical safety goggles.
Skin and body protection: Assess the exposure and select chemical resistant
clothing based on the potential for contact and the permeation / penetration
characteristics of the clothing material. Wash with soap and water after removing
protective clothing. Decontaminate clothing before re-use, or use disposable
equipment (suits, aprons, sleeves, boots, etc.). Wear as appropriate: impervious
protective suit.

Acute Inhalation LC50, rat : > 1.96 mg/l 4 hours
Eye Irritation, rabbit: Moderately irritating.
Skin Irritation, rabbit: Slightly irritating.
Sensitisation, man: Causes sensitisation.
Long term toxicity
Did not show mutagenic effects in animal experiments. Chlorothalonil causes
kidney tumours in rats and mice via a non-gentoxic mode of action secondary to
target organ toxicity. Did not show reproductive toxicity effects in animal
experiments. Did not show teratogenic effects in animal experiments.
No adverse effects in humans are expected at levels below the occupational
exposure limit and when the product is handled and used according to the label.
This information refers to Chlorothalonil
