4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice: Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you
when calling the Syngenta emergency number, a poison control centre or physician, or
going for treatment.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial
respiration. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or Poison Control Centre
immediately.
Skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with
plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing
before re-use.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least
15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Immediate medical attention is required.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or
label. Do NOT induce vomiting.
Medical advice: There is no specific antidote available. Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
Extinguishing media - small fires: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or
carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing media - large fires: Use alcohol-resistant foam or water spray.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Do not use a solid
water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific hazards during fire fighting: As the product contains combustible organic
components, fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of
combustion (see section 10).
Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Special protective equipment for fire fighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-
contained breathing apparatus.
Further information: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
courses. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not
flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up: Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible
absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in
container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13).
Additional advice: If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Components with workplace control parameters
Components Exposure limits Value type Source
glyphosate 10 mg/m3 8 h TWA SYNGENTA
ENGINEERING MEASURES
Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical protection measure if
exposure cannot be eliminated. The extent of these protection measures depends on the
actual risks in use. If airborne mists or vapours are generated, use local exhaust
ventilation controls. Assess exposure and use any additional measures to keep airborne
levels below any relevant exposure limit. Where necessary, seek additional occupational
hygiene advice.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
When using this product refer to the label for details. In all other cases, use the following
Personal Protective Equipment:
Protective measures: The use of technical measures should always have priority over
the use of personal protective equipment. When selecting personal protective equipment,
seek appropriate professional advice. Personal protective equipment should be certified to
appropriate standards.
Respiratory protection: No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required.
A particulate filter respirator may be necessary until effective technical measures are
installed.
Hand protection: Chemical resistant gloves are not usually required. Select gloves based
on the physical job requirements.
Eye protection: Eye protection is not usually required. Follow any site specific eye
protection policies.
Skin and body protection: No special protective equipment required. Select skin and
body protection based on the physical job requirements.
