Instructions apparatus and full protective clothing. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate
hazard area and deny entry. Evacuate residents who are downwind of fire. Dike
area to prevent runoff and contamination of water sources. Dispose of fire
control water later.
Persons who may have been exposed to contaminated smoke should be
immediately examined by a physician and checked for symptoms of poisoning.
The symptoms should not be mistaken for heat exhaustion or smoke inhalation.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General and Disposal Evacuation Procedures and Safety: Wear appropriate gear for the situation. See
Personal Protection information in Section 8. Eliminate all sources of ignitions
until the area is determined to be free from explosion of fire hazards.

Land Spill or Leaks Containment of Spill: Follow procedure under Cleanup and Disposal of Spill.
Environmental and Regulatory Reporting: Do not flush to drain. If spilled on the
ground, the affected area should be scraped clean and placed in an appropriate
container for disposal. Prevent material from entering public sewer system or
any waterway.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Procedures Do not breathe vapors and mists. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest.
Storing Procedures Store in an area that is away from ignition sources. Store in an area away from
food, feedstuffs, fertilizers and seed.
Work/Hygienic Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and
Procedures the following general measures should be taken when working with or handling
this material:
Do not store, use, and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or
cosmetics in areas where this material is stored.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions of a potential for
excessive exposure exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques
may be used to effectively minimize employee exposures: local exhaust
ventilation at the point of generation.
Eye/Face Protection Eye and face protection requirements will vary dependent upon work
environment conditions and material handling practices. Appropriate ANSI Z87
approved equipment should be selected for the particular use intended for this
material.
Eye contact should be prevented through use of chemical safety glasses with
side shields or splash proof goggles. An emergency eye wash must be readily
accessible to the work area.
Body Protection Skin contact should be prevented through use of suitable protective clothing,
gloves and footwear, selected with regard of use conditions and exposure
potential. Consideration must be given both to durability as well as permeation
resistance.
Respiratory Protection When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based
on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the
appropriate regulatory standards and/or industrial recommendations.
Under normal conditions, in the absence of other airborne contaminants, the
following should provide protection from this material up to the conditions
specified by the appropriate OSHA, WHMIS or ANSI standard(s): Air-purifying
(half-mask/full-face) respirator with cartridge/canister approved for use against
pesticides.
Under conditions immediately dangerous to life or health, or emergency
conditions with unknown concentrations, use a full-face positive pressure air-
supplied respirator equipped with an emergency escape air supply unit or use a
self-contained breathing apparatus unit.
General Protection These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product.
Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety
procedures should be developed for each intended application. While developing
safe handling procedures, do not overlook the need to clean equipment and
piping systems for maintenance and repairs. Waste resulting from these
procedures should be handled in accordance with Section 13: Disposal
Considerations.
Assistance with selection, use and maintenance of worker protection equipment
is generally available from equipment manufacturers.

Acute Oral Toxicity Rat: LD50: 3,600 mg/kg
Acute Dermal Toxicity Rabbit: LD50: > 2,000 mg/kg
Acute Inhalation Toxicity Rat: LC50: > 3.8 mg/l 4 h
Acute Respiratory Irritation:
No test data found for product.
Skin Irritation Rabbit: Non-irritating to minimally irritating.
Eye Irritation Rabbit: Moderately irritating
Chronic Toxicity BROMOXYNIL COMPOUNDS: EPA has classified Bromoxynil as a Class C
carcinogen. Based upon the results of rat and rabbit teratogenicity studies,
Bromoxynil phenol is considered to be a developmental toxicant. Women of
childbearing age should be particularly careful when handling this product to
avoid ingestion and skin contact. Although three in vitro genetic toxicity studies
were positive for Bromoxynil phenol, four additional in vitro studies and two in
vivo studies were negative. Therefore, the weight of evidence indicates that
Bromoxynil phenol does not produce genetic toxicity.
