5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Slightly combustible. May support combustion at
elevated temperatures. Finely dispersed particles can form explosive mixtures in air.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective
equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons
and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Large spills should be covered to prevent
dispersal. For dry material, use a wet sweeping compound or water to prevent the formation of dust. If
water is used, prevent runoff or dispersion of excess liquid by diking and absorbing with a non-combustible
absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump all waste material, including absorbent, into
a drum and label contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with a suitable solution of caustic or soda ash,
and an appropriate alcohol (i.e., methanol, ethanol or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong
soap and water solution. Absorb, as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste already
collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13,
"Disposal Considerations".
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or
store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children
and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: No open flames. Prevent deposition of dust; use closed
system, consider use of dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Use local exhaust at all
process locations where dust may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For dust exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or
full-face air-purifying respirator, which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN
or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne
concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear
coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work
clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as nitrile or neoprene.
Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for
leaks.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of
eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Shower at
the end of the workday.

EYE EFFECTS: Minimally irritating
SKIN EFFECTS: Moderately irritating
DERMAL LD50: < 5,000 mg/kg (rat)
ORAL LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: > 5.72 mg/l (4 h) (rat) Maximum attainable concentration - zero mortality
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral, dermal
and inhalation toxicity. It is moderately irritating to the skin and minimally irritating to the eyes. Signs of
toxicity in laboratory animals included oral discharge, nasal discharge, diarrhea, decreased locomotion and
dyspnea.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, carfentrazone-ethyl did not cause reproductive toxicity,
teratogenicity, or carcinogenicity. An overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in tests of
mutagenicity, DNA damage and chromosome aberrations. Repeated overexposure to crystalline silica for
extended periods has caused acute silicosis. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified crystalline silica, inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources, as
carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has classified respirable
Page 5 of 10
SHARK庐 HERBICIDE (128639-02-1-8) Date: 01/12/2006
crystalline silica (quartz, cristobalite and tridymite) as "reasonably anticipated to be carcinogenic". The
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has concluded that silica quartz is a
suspected human carcinogen (A2 - limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence
of carcinogenicity in experimental animals with relevance to humans).
CARCINOGENICITY:
Chemical Name IARC NTP OSHA Other
Silica, quartz Listed Listed Not listed (ACGIH) Listed
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are based on the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Carfentrazone-ethyl is rapidly degraded in soil (DT50 < 1.5
days) through microbial degradation, initially by hydrolysis to F8426-chloropropionic acid, and then
through further side-chain degradation to other acids. Based on field studies, carfentrazone-ethyl and its
major metabolite, F8426-chloropropionic acid, are confined to the top soil layer, indicating only slight
mobility in soil. Carfentrazone-ethyl is hydrolytically unstable in base (half-life of 5.1 hours), with stability
increasing with decreasing pH. It is susceptible to photolytic degradation in water, with a half-life of 8.3
days (pH 5). The Log Pow is 3.36 and the measured bioconcentration factor in whole fish is 159, both
indicating a low potential for accumulation. Its vapor pressure is 1.19 x 10-7 torr, indicating that volatility
is not a concern with this chemical.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Carfentrazone-ethyl is very toxic to algae
(EC50: 5.7 to 17 碌g/L), and much less toxic to fish (LC50: 1.6 to 2.0 mg/L), and aquatic crustacea (LC50 >
9.8 mg/L). Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic environment. In a test with
earthworms, carfentrazone-ethyl was shown to cause no effects at concentrations up to 820 mg/kg in soil.
Carfentrazone-ethyl shows little toxicity to birds either orally (LD50 > 2,250 mg/kg), or in the diet (LC50 >
5,620 ppm). Similarly, carfentrazone-ethyl has low toxicity to bees (no death at 200 碌g/bee).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited.
If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards
and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory
requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Completely empty package into application equipment. Then dispose
of empty package in a sanitary landfill or by incineration, or if allowed by State and local authorities, by
burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
