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 center or physician, or going for treatment.

Inhalation : Move the victim 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 con-
tainer or label.
Do NOT induce vomiting.

Medical advice : There is no specific antidote available.

Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing : Extinguishing media - small fires

media Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon
dioxide.
Extinguishing media - large fires
Alcohol-resistant foam
or
Water spray

Extinguishing media : Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
which shall not be used
for safety reasons
Specific hazards during : As the product contains combustible organic components, fire will
fire fighting produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of
combustion (see section 10).
Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.

Special protective equip- : Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing appara-
ment for fire-fighters tus.

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 precau- : Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

tions 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 regula-
tions (see section 13).

Additional advice : If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform re-
spective authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING
Advice on safe handling : No special protective measures against fire required.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
For personal protection see section 8.

STORAGE
Requirements for storage : No special storage conditions required.
areas and containers Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated
place.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Other data : Physically and chemically stable for at least 2 years when stored

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Components with workplace control parameters

Components Exposure limit(s) Type of expo- Source
sure limit
fluazifop-P-butyl 0.5 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 vapors 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

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 : A combination gas, vapor and particulate respirator may be ne-
cessary until effective technical measures are installed.
Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited.
Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in cases of emergency
spills, when exposure levels are unknown, or under any circums-
tances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection.

Hand protection : Chemical resistant gloves should be used.

Gloves should be certified to an appropriate standard.
Gloves should have a minimum breakthrough time that is appro-
priate to the duration of exposure.
The breakthrough time of gloves varies according to the thickness,
material and manufacturer.
Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication
of degradation or chemical breakthrough.
Suitable material
Nitrile rubber

Eye protection : Eye protection is not usually required.

Follow any site specific eye protection policies.

Skin and body protection : Assess the exposure and select chemical resistant clothing based
on the potential for contact and the permeation / penetration cha-
racteristics of the clothing material.
Wash with soap and water after removing protective clothing.
Decontaminate clothing before re-use, or use disposable equip-
ment (suits, aprons, sleeves, boots, etc.)
Wear as appropriate:
impervious protective suit
