SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Emergency Overview Off-white to tan Liquid suspension with low odor. Hazards of product: Maybe cause slight eye irritation, toxic to marine mollusks, fish and aquatic invertebrate.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause pain disproportionate to the level of irritation to eye tissues. Essentially nonirritating to eyes. Corneal injury is unlikely. Skin Contact: Brief contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Prolonged contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. Repeated contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation: No adverse effects are anticipated from single exposure to mist. Ingestion: Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. Effects of Repeated Exposure For the active ingredient(s) In animals, Spinosad has been shown to cause vacuolization of cells in various tissues. Dose levels producing these effects were many times higher than any dose levels expected from exposure due to use. Reproductive Effects For the active ingredient(s) In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES: - Extinguishing Media: To extinguish combustible residues of this product use water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam. Fire and explosion hazards: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Under fire condition some component of this product may decompose. To smoke may contain unidentified toxic and/or irritating compound. 2 Fire fighting equipment: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance. FIRST-AID MEASURES: Eye Contact: Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, and then continue rinsing eyes. Call a doctor for treatment advice. Skin Contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a doctor for treatment advice. Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call an emergency responder or ambulance, and then give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth use rescuer protection (pocket mask etc). Call a doctor for treatment advice. Ingestion: call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have a person one glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor. Never give any thing by mouth to an unconscious person. Notes to Physician: No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE: Action to take for spills/leaks: Use non-reactive absorbent to absorb small spills and collect for disposal. Steps to be taken if Material is Released or Spilled: Contain spilled material if possible. Small spills: Absorb with materials such as: Clay, Dirt, Sand or Sweep up. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Personal Precautions: Use appropriate safety equipment. Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. 3 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY DATA: Stability: Thermally stable at typical use temperatures. Some components of this product can decompose at elevated temperatures. Incompatible Materials: None known. Hazardous Polymerization: not known to occur. Hazardous Decomposition product: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials. HANDLING AND STORAGE: Precaution to be taken in handling and storage: Keep out of reach children. Avoid eye contact. Don’t take internally. Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, or smoking. Store product in original container. See product label for additional instruction. PERSONAL PROTECTION: Personal Protection - Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields). - Skin Protection: Wear clean, body-covering clothing. - Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. - Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter. - Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before smoking or eating. Engineering Controls Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: This section includes possible adverse effect, which could occur if this material is not handled in the recommended manner.
