SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Harmful or fatal if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage. Evacuate area. Keep upwind of spill. Toxic fumes may be released in fire situations. * Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause permanent impairment of vision, even blindness. Skin Contact: Brief contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. May cause drying and flaking of the skin. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation: Vapor may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Mist may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Ingestion: Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury.

Aspiration hazard

Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, causing lung damage or even death due to chemical pneumonia. Effects of Repeated Exposure For kerosene In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs after exposure to aerosols: Central nervous system. Respiratory tract. Observations in animals include: Anesthetic or narcotic effects.

Cancer information

For the solvent(s) In a lifetime animal dermal carcinogenicity study, an increased incidence of skin tumors was observed when kerosene was applied at doses that also produced skin irritation. This response was similar to that produced in skin by other types of chronic chemical/physical irritation. No increase in tumors was observed when non-irritating dilutions of kerosene were applied at equivalent doses, indicating that kerosene is unlikely to cause skin cancer in the absence of long-term continued skin irritation. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects For the active ingredient(s) 2,4-D 2-ethylhexyl ester. Has been toxic to the fetus in lab animals at doses nontoxic to the mother. Reproductive Effects: For similar active ingredient(s). 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. In laboratory animals, excessive doses toxic to the parent animals caused decreased weight and survival of offspring.
