Revision date : 10/04/2005 ESTABLISH ATZTM Page: 2/8
Information on: Petroleum solvent
Inhalation of high vapor/aerosol concentrations are irritating to eyes and respiratory tract, may cause
headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central nervous system
effects, including death.
Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal.
Information on: Aromatic 200 Solvent
At high oral doses in rats, this component caused damage to the stomach, liver, thyroid and urinary
bladder. These effects are not relevant to humans at occupational levels of exposure.
Irritation:
May cause moderate but temporary irritation to the eyes. May cause slight irritation to the skin.
Sensitization:
Caused skin sensitization in animal studies.
Repeated dose toxicity:
Information on: Ethylene glycol
Chronic overexposure to ethylene glycol may lead to liver degeneration and severe kidney damage.
Animal studies indicate that ethylene glycol may be embryo toxic and teratogenic by the oral and inhalation
routes. Ethylene glycol has been found to be noncarcinogenic in experimental animals.
Information on: Petroleum Distillates with Naphthalene
Overexposure may cause liver and kidney toxicity.
Exposure by ingestion or inhalation may cause hemolysis, anemia, fever, hemoglobinuria, and jaundice.
A National Toxicology Program (NTP) report states that a lifetime inhalation exposure produced nasal
tumors in rats.
A National Toxicology Program (NTP) report states that a lifetime inhalation exposure produced lung
tumors in female mice.
Medical conditions aggravated by overexposure:
No data available.
SECTION 4 - First-Aid Measures
General advice:
First aid providers should wear personal protective equipment to prevent exposure. Remove contaminated clothing.
Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably
mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or physician for treatment advice. Have the product
container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment.
If inhaled:
Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. Assist in breathing if necessary.
If on skin:
Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 - 20 minutes.
If in eyes:
Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after
first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing.
If swallowed:
Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control center
or doctor. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions.
Note to physician
Hazards: Vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia due to the ingredients. Because of the increased
risk of chemical pneumonia or pulmonary edema caused by aspiration of the hydrocarbon
solvent, vomiting should be induced only under professional supervision.

SECTION 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions:
Take appropriate protective measures. Clear area. Shut off source of leak only under safe conditions. Extinguish
sources of ignition nearby and downwind. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable personal protective clothing
and equipment.
Environmental precautions:
Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Contain
contaminated water/firefighting water.
Cleanup:
Dike spillage. Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Place into suitable containers for reuse or disposal in a
licensed facility. Spilled substance/product should be recovered and applied according to label rates whenever
possible. If application of spilled substance/product is not possible, then spills should be contained, solidified, and
placed in suitable containers for disposal. After decontamination, spill area can be washed with water. Collect wash
water for approved disposal.
SECTION 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling
General advice:
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE FOR MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL BLENDING, AND PACKAGING
WORKERS. PESTICIDE APPLICATORS & WORKERS must refer to the Product Label and Directions for Use
attached to the product for Agricultural Use Requirements in accordance with the EPA Worker Protection Standard
40 CFR part 170. Ensure adequate ventilation. Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if
necessary). Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Keep container tightly sealed. Protect contents from
the effects of light. Protect against heat. Protect from air. Handle and open container with care. Do not open until
ready to use. Once container is opened, content should be used up as soon as possible. Avoid aerosol formation.
Avoid dust formation. Provide means for controlling leaks and spills. Do not return residues to the storage
containers. Follow label warnings even after container is emptied. The substance/ product may be handled only by
appropriately trained personnel. Avoid all direct contact with the substance/product. Avoid contact with the skin,
eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of dusts/mists/vapors. Wear suitable personal protective clothing and
equipment.
Protection against fire and explosion:
The relevant fire protection measures should be noted. Fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Avoid all sources
of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Sources of ignition should be kept well clear. Avoid extreme heat. Keep away
from oxidizable substances. Electrical equipment should conform to national electric code. Ground all transfer
equipment properly to prevent electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge may cause ignition.

Personal protective equipment
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL BLENDING, AND PACKAGING WORKERS:
Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) TC23C
Chemical/Mechanical type filter system to remove a combination of particles, gas and vapors. For situations where the
airborne concentrations may exceed the level for which an air purifying respirator is effective, or where the levels are
unknown or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH), use NIOSH-certified full face piece pressure demand self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a full face piece pressure demand supplied-air respirator (SAR) with escape
provisions.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves, Protective glove selection must be based on the user's assessment of the
workplace hazards.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields. Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Wear face shield if splashing hazard
exists.
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. head protection, apron, protective
boots, chemical-protection suit.
General safety and hygiene measures:
Wear long sleeved work shirt and long work pants in addition to other stated personal protective equipment. Work place
should be equipped with a shower and an eye wash. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practice. Personal protective equipment should be decontaminated prior to reuse. Gloves must be inspected regularly
and prior to each use. Replace if necessary (e.g. pinhole leaks). Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Store
work clothing separately. Hands and/or face should be washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. No eating,
drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
