III. FIRST AID PROCEDURES



If poisoning is suspected, immediately contact a physician, the nearest hospital, or the

nearest Poison Control center. Tell the person contacted the complete product name, and

the type and amount of exposure. Describe any symptoms and follow the advice given.



Ingestion: If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink and induce

vomiting by touching back of throat with a finger. Do not induce vomiting or give

anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not

leave victim unattended. Vomiting may occur spontaneously. To prevent aspiration of

swallowed product, lay victim on side with head lower than waist. If vomiting occurs and

the victim is conscious, give water to further dilute the chemical.



Eye Contact: Hold eyelids open and flush eyes with a steady, gentle stream of water for

at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at

least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes while

washing. Clean contaminated clothing and shoes before re-use or discard if they cannot

be thoroughly cleaned.



Inhalation: Remove victim from immediate source of exposure and assure that the

victim is breathing. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen, if available. If victim is

not breathing, administer CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation), Seek medical

attention.Medical Conditions Possibly Aggravated by Exposure: Inhalation of product

may aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or

bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease.



Notes to Physician: All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of

distress in the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure

to materials other than this product may have occurred. Treat symptomatically. No

specific antidote available.



IV. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION



Symptoms of Exposure: This product has very low toxicity and there are no specific

symptoms of overexposure in humans. Skin and eye contact are the most likely routes of

exposure. Liquid and mist will irritate eyes resulting in tearing and/or reddening of the

eyes. No irritation to the skin is likely after brief contact, but would be irritating after

prolonged contact. Based on animal studies no adverse effects or symptoms would be

expected from chronic exposure to this product.



V. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY



Chemical Stability: Stable under normal handling and storage conditions.

Conditions to Avoid: Extreme humidity.

Materials to Avoid: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents.



Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of carbon, oxides of phosphorus,

and phosphine gas. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

        ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

VII.



Waste Disposal Method: Chemical additions, processing or otherwise altering this

material, may make the waste management information presented in this MSDS

incomplete, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate. Please be advised that state and local

requirements for waste disposal may be more restrictive or otherwise different from

federal laws and regulations. Consult state and local regulations regarding the proper

disposal of this material. Observe all federal, state and local disposal laws concerning

health and environment.



Container Handling and Disposal: DO NOT RE-USE MICROINJECTION UNITS.



In Case of Fire: For small fires, use dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishing media.

For large fires, use water spray, alcohol foam, polymer foam or ordinary foam. Fire

fighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full

protective clothing. Prevent human exposure to fire, smoke or fumes. Like all organic and

most dry chemicals, as a powder or dust, this product (when mixed with air in critical

proportions and in the presence of an ignition source) may present an explosion hazard.

Under fire conditions, toxic, corrosive fumes are emitted. Evacuate non-essential

personnel from area. Fight fire from upwind position. Equipment or materials involved in

pesticide fires may become contaminated. Use water spray to cool nearby containers and

structures exposed to fire. If water is used as an extinguishing medium, the contaminated

area must be diked to keep the contaminated water out of all water supplies. Observe all

government regulations on spill reporting and handling disposal of waste.



Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Toxic vapors such as oxides of phosphorus, oxides

of carbon, and phosphine gas may be formed.





        PERSONAL PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS

VIII.



Skin:                 Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and

                     suitable long-sleeved clothing (i.e., shirts and pants).

                      Consideration should be given both to durability as well as

                      permeation resistance.

Eye:                  Wear protective eye wear

Ventilation:          Use general and local exhaust ventilation when needed



Other Protective Devices and Procedures: Wear chemical resistant gloves such as

polyethylene or butyl rubber or neoprene rubber or viton. Clean water should be available

for washing in case of eye or skin contamination. Educate and train employees in safe use

of the product. Follow all label instructions. Launder clothing after use. Shower or wash

thoroughly after handling or accidental exposure to this product. Do not store and/or

consume foods, beverages, tobacco products or cosmetics in areas where this material is
