When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a
protection class of 5 or higher is recommended. When only brief contact is
expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher is recommended.
NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and
duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all requisite
workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be
handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal
protection), as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the
love supplier.

Based on data for similar formulation.
Ingestion
Low toxicity if swallowed. The oral LD50 for rats is >2000 mg/kg.
Skin Contact
The dermal LD50 for rats is >5000 mg/kg.
Brief contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. May cause drying
and flaking of the skin. Not likely to be absorbed through skin in harmful
amounts.

May cause moderate and prolonged irritation. May cause moderate corneal
injury. Vapour may cause eye irritation experienced as mild discomfort and
redness.
Inhalation
No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to
proper handling.
Vapour concentrations are attainable which could be hazardous on single
exposure. May cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system
depression. Symptoms may include headache, dizziness and drowsiness,
progressing to incoordination and unconsciousness.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Persistence and Degradability
Assessment largely or completely based on data for active ingredient.
Florasulam: Half-life in soils is dependent on soil type and conditions and
is approximately 2-18 days. There is no evidence of any significant
leaching, therefore it is unlikely to contaminate ground water.
Fluroxypyr 1-methylheptyl ester:
Rapidly hydrolysed in soil and water (with a half-life of less than 1 day)
to the parent acid, which undergoes further degradation. Half-life of the
parent acid in soil and water is dependent on conditions and is
approximately 14-56 days.
Aquatic Toxicity
Based on data for similar formulation.
Material is harmful to fish on an acute basis (10 mg/L
Material is harmful to aquatic invertebrates on an acute basis
(10 mg/L
Based on data for the formulation.
Material is toxic to algae (1 mg/l
