Fluroxypyr 180 EC (PCP Reg. No. 30815)

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: Appearance: Amber brown liquid Odor: Aromatic (Solvent) EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: WARNING Skin and eye irritant

Principle Routes of Exposure

Ingestion, skin absorption, inhalation, and eye contact SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: EYE: May cause moderate eye irritation. May cause slight corneal injury. Vapor may lead to eye irritation causing mild discomfort and redness. SKIN: Brief contact basically non-irritating to skin. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation or burn. Repeated contact can lead to drying or flaking of skin. Prolonged exposure is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. The LD50 for skin absorption is > 4,000 mg/kg. No allergic reactions were noted when tested in guinea pigs. INGESTION: Low toxicity if swallowed. The oral LD50 for rats is > 2,000 mg/kg. Swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestions or vomiting and can cause lung damage or even death due to chemical pneumonia. INHALATION: No adverse effects anticipated from a single exposure to vapor. The LC50 for rats is > 5.05 mg/L (4 hours). Prolonged exposure to solvent may cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression. May cause nausea or vomiting. PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS COMBUSTIBLE. Do not use or store near heat or open flame. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Chloride compounds, fluorine compounds , carbon oxides (CO, CO2) , nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2...)
