5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
O O
FLASH POINT (癋/Test Method): >217 F/102.8 C (TCC)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS (LFL & UFL): Not established.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, water spray or fog.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Oxides of nitrogen, acetonitrile, chlorine-containing compounds and other unknown hazardous
materials may be formed in a fire situation. Hydrogen cyanide may be formed. Incomplete combustion
may lead to formation of carbon monoxide and/or other asphyxiants.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective clothing. Fight fire from upwind and keep
all non-essential personnel out of area.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: If water is used to fight fire and cool the containers, contain run-off by diking to prevent
contamination of water supplies. Containers in fire may burst or explode from excessive heat.
Vapors may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back along vapor trail.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
For small spills, absorb with an absorbent material such as pet litter. Sweep up and transfer to containers for possible land application according to label
use or for proper disposal. Wash the spill with water containing a strong detergent, absorb with pet litter or other absorbent material, sweep up and
place in a chemical container and handle in an approved manner. Flush the area with water to remove any residue. For large spills: contain liquid by
diking the area, keep product out of water supplies. Large spills that soak into ground should be dug up to a depth of 1 to 2 inches, placed in drums and
disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations . Any recovered spilled liquid should be similarly collected and disposed of.
CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if pesticide
gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the
outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
O O O O
STORAGE: Do not store below temperature of 0 F/-17.8 C. If frozen, warm to 40 F/4.4 C and reconstitute before using by rolling or
shaking the container. Store in a safe manner. Store in original container only. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
Personal Protective Equipment: Mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers and other handlers must wear: long sleeved shirt and long pants,
chemical-resistant gloves, such as Barrier Laminate, Nitrile Rubber, Neoprene Rubber, or Viton? goggles, face shield, or safety glasses, shoes plus
socks, and chemical-resistant apron, when mixing/loading, cleaning up spills, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate. After the product has been
diluted in accordance with directions for use, protective eyewear is not required. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been
drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintaining
PPE. If no instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. For containers over 1 gallon
and less than 5 gallons in capacity: mixers and loader who do not use a mechanical system (probe and pump) to transfer product must wear coveralls
or a chemical-resistant apron in addition to other PPE.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: When handlers use enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the worker Protection
Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d) (4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be
reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Not normally required; if vapors or mists become excessive, wear a NIOSH approved pesticide respirator with
cartridges for pesticide vapors.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical goggles or shielded safety glasses.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear protective clothing: long-sleeved shirts and pants, chemical-resistant footwear and socks. Wear rubber or
chemical-resistant gloves.

Inhalation LC50 (rat): >3.1 mg/L (4 hr). Skin Sensitization (guinea pig): Not established
Carcinogenic Potential: Nothing listed in ACGIH, NTP, or OSHA. IARC has classified Atrazine in Group 3 (Unclassifiable as to Carcinogenicity in
Humans).
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Spray drift or runoff may adversely affect aquatic invertebrates and non-target plants in neighboring areas.
Do not apply to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Keep out of lakes, streams and ponds. Do
not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters. Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter groundwater that may
be used as drinking water. Atrazine has been found in groundwater. This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of intermittent streams and
rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This product may not be applied aerially or by ground within 66 feet of the points where field surface
water runoff enters perennial or intermittent stream-sand rivers or within 200 ft. around natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. If this product is
applied to highly erodible land, the 66-foot buffer or setback from runoff points must be planted to crop or seeded with grass or other suitable crop.
Where there are state/local requirements regarding Atrazine use (including lower maximum rates and/or higher set-backs) that are different from the
label, the more restrictive/protective requirements apply.
