4. FIRST AID MEASURES
If poisoning occurs, immediately contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26), and follow
the advice given. Show this Material Safety Data Sheet to the doctor.
Inhalation If inhaled move to fresh air and keep at rest. Obtain medical advice if symptoms persist.
Skin contact Carefully remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas with soap and water. Seek
medical aid if symptoms persist.
Eye contact Rinse eyes immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eye open. Seek
medical attention.
Ingestion Wash out mouth with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Keep patient at rest and seek URGENT
medical advice as above.
First Aid Facilities Ensure eyewash and shower facilities are available.
Medical attention Local contamination:
Symptoms: None known
Treatment: Initial treatment should be symptomatic and supportive after decontamination.
Systemic poisoning:
Symptoms: Lethargy, weakness, ataxia, muscle twitching, incontinence.
Treatment: Monitoring of respiratory, cardiac and central nervous system.
Carefully monitor liver function.
Gastric lavage, followed by administration of an aqueous suspension of activated charcoal to
absorb remaining toxicant.
There is no specific antidote.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Hazards from Hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, and oxides of carbon and nitrogen may be released in a
combustion products fire.
Precautions for fire Fire fighters should wear full protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus
fighters (AS/NZS 1715/1716). Keep unnecessary people away. If it can be done safely, remove intact
containers from the fire. Otherwise, spray unopened containers with water to keep cool. Bund
area with sand or earth to prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Dispose of
extinguishing agent and spillage safely later.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material or contaminated surfaces. Do not smoke, eat or drink during the clean up process.
Wear personal protective clothing and equipment as detailed in Section 8 PERSONAL PROTECTION. Keep people and
animals away. Contain spill and absorb with earth, sand, clay, or other absorbent material. Prevent spilled material from
entering drains or watercourses. Collect and store in properly labelled drums for safe disposal. Clean floor with a damp

contamination of drains, streams, watercourses etc. is unavoidable, warn the local water authority.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Keep out of reach of children. May irritate eyes. Avoid contact with eyes and avoid inhalation
of dust from grain or treated seed. Wash hands after use. After each day's use, wash gloves,
goggles and contaminated clothing.
Do not allow seed treated with this product to contaminate seed intended for human or animal
consumption. Bags which have held treated seed are not to be used for any other purpose.
Storage Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged
periods in direct sunlight. Do not store near foodstuffs or animal feed.
When treated seed is stored it should be kept apart from other grain, animal feed or foodstuffs in
a cool, dry storage area. The bags or other containers should be clearly marked to indicate the
contents have been treated with this product.
Flammability Product is not combustible.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure standards The NOHSC exposure standards for propane-1,2-diol are:
Vapour and particulates - TWA 150 ppm, 474 mg/m?br>
Particulates only - TWA 10 mg/m?br>
Definition
Exposure standard ?Time Weighted Average (TWA) means the average airborne concentration
of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day
working week.
Biological limit None allocated
values
Engineering controls Control process conditions to avoid contact. Use local exhaust ventilation during manufacture.
Use in a well-ventilated area only.
Personal Protective Eyes: Safety goggles if exposure is possible
Equipment Clothing: Cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist or equivalent clothing and a
washable hat.
Gloves: Elbow-length PVC gloves
Respiratory: If inhalation of product or dust from grain or treated seed is likely, an AS/NZS

ANIMAL TOXICITY DATA - SIMILAR PRODUCT
Acute:
Oral toxicity LD50 rat: 429 - 2000 mg/kg
Dermal toxicity LD50 rat: > 4000 mg/kg
Inhalation toxicity Not available
Skin irritation Non irritating (rabbit)
Eye irritation Non irritating (rabbit)
Sensitisation Non sensitising (guinea pig)
Chronic:
Fluquinconazole was not mutagenic in a battery of genotoxicity tests. It did not show carcinogenic or teratogenic effects
in animal experiments.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Fluquinconazole has a low hazard to birds and earthworms. DO NOT feed
treated seed or otherwise expose to wildlife or domestic birds. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with
the chemical, used containers, treated seed or bags which have held treated seed.
Ecotoxicity Fluquinconazole:
Fish toxicity: LC50 (96 h) rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) 1.9 mg/L
LC50 (96 h) bluegill sunfish 1.34 mg/L
Daphnia toxicity: EC50 (48 h) water flea (Daphnia magna) > 5 mg/L
Algal toxicity: Growth rate: EbC50 (96 h) algae (Selenastrum capricornutum) 0.014 mg/L
Bird toxicity: Acute oral LD50 bobwhite quail and mallard duck > 2000 mg/kg
Environmental fate, Fluquinconazole is degraded in soil under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Dissipation is
persistence and mainly a hydrolytic process, but further degradation and mineralisation involves microbial
degradability, action. The metabolites are finally transformed to soil-bound residues and CO2. Degradation
mobility rates depend on temperature, soil moisture, soil pH and organic matter content. Typical field
DT50 is 50-300 days. Fluquinconazole is strongly adsorbed to soils ?Koc > 738. Soil column
leaching models demonstrated that fluquinconazole will not leach to deeper soil layers and
contaminate groundwater.
Bioconcentration factor (BCF): 87
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
10, 200 L: Triple or (preferably) pressure rinse containers before disposal. Dispose of rinsings in disposal pit, or use for
diluting product to required volume. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return
clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty
containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit
specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers
and product should not be burnt. Dispose of waste product through a reputable waste contractor.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS - continued
100 L; 1000 L Schutz and conventional containers with dry break connection: Empty container by pumping through the
dry-break connection system. Do not attempt to unscrew the valve or breach the locked filling point. Do not contaminate
the container with water or other foreign material. Ensure that the coupler, pump, meter and hoses are disconnected,
triple rinsed with clean water and drained after each use. When empty, or contents no longer required, return the
container to the point of purchase. This container remains the property of Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd.
Schutz container with camlock valve connection: If tamper evident seals are broken prior to initial use then the integrity of
the contents cannot be assured. The container must be vented before discharging contents. To empty connect a camlock
fitted hose to the bottom valve. Remove top cap when discharging for venting purposes. When the container is empty,
close all caps and valves and return the container to the point of purchase.
