**ACGIH classification is A4, skin. A `skin' notation following the exposure guideline refers to the
potential for dermal absorption of the material. It is intended to alert the reader that inhalation may not
be the only route of exposure and that measures to minimize dermal exposures should be considered.
III. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Primary Route(s) of Entry: Eyes, Skin, Inhalation, Ingestion
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Hazardous Chemical. Clear yellow liquid with an aromatic odor.
May cause eye irritation and/or corneal injury. May cause skin irritation. Toxic to aquatic organisms.
EYE: May cause slight eye irritation and/or slight corneal injury. Vapors may irritate the eyes. For the
solvent Aromatic 150, cataracts and other eye effects have been reported in humans repeatedly
exposed to naphthalene vapor or dust.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. A single prolonged exposure is not
likely to result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts. The dermal LD50
has not been determined. Propiconazole did not cause allergic skin reactions when tested in guinea
pigs.
INHALATION: Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure may be central nervous system effects.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling
operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. If
aspirated (liquid enters the lung), may cause lung damage or even death due to chemical pneumonia.
Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: Excessive exposure may cause respiratory irritation and
central nervous system depression.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Toxic to aquatic organisms.
IV. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 ?20 minutes. Remove contact
lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing the eye. Call a poison control center
or doctor for treatment advice.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 ?20
minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

DATA SHEET #3033
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment
advice..
INGESTION: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not give any
liquid to person. Do not induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control center or doctor. Do not
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Single dose toxicity is low; however, swallowing
larger amounts may cause injury.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: There is no specific antidote for this product. Induce emesis or
lavage stomach, taking care to avoid aspiration of stomach contents into lungs. Give a saline laxative
and supportive therapy. This product may pose an aspiration pneumonia hazards. Contains
petroleum distillate.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to
unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. Keep containers cool by spraying with water. Contain
runoff to prevent entry into water or drainage systems.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective equipment.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Not Determined
VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: If material is spilled, absorb small spills with non-reactive material such as sand,
sawdust, Zorball, dirt or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into containers for
disposal. Wash exposed body areas thoroughly after handling. Barricade the area of large spills and
report them to ChemTrec at 1-800-424-9300.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Handling: Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Avoid breathing vapors and spray mist. Handle concentrate in ventilated area. Wash thoroughly with
soap and water after handling and before eating, chewing gum, using tobacco, using toilet or
smoking. Storage: Product should be stored in compliance with local regulations. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area in the original container. Protect from excessive heat and cold. Keep away from
food, feedstuffs, and water supplies.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Keep out of reach of children.
VIII. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne
levels below the exposure guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT:
EYES AND FACE: Use chemical goggles. If vapor exposure causes eye discomfort, use a
NIOSH approved full-face respirator.
RESPIRATORY: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guidelines.
When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use a NIOSH approved air-
purifying respirator.
GLOVES: Use gloves impervious to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact
could occur.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Applicators and all other handlers refer to product label for personal
protective clothing and equipment
WORK HYGENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before
eating, chewing gum, using tobacco, using toilet or smoking.

CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE:
CARCINOGENICITY: Aromatic 150 contains naphthalene, which has caused cancer in some
laboratory animals. An increase in lung tumors was observed in female, but not male, mice exposed
to naphthalene by inhalation for two years. In humans, there is a limited evidence of cancer in
workers involved in naphthalene production. Limited oral studies in rates were negative.
Teratology: Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no effects on the mother should have no
effect on the fetus.
