SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Hazards Emergency Overview Color: Red to brown Physical State: Liquid. Odor: Sweet Hazards of product: DANGER! Combustible liquid and vapor. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Harmful or fatal if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage. Isolate area. Keep upwind of spill. Toxic fumes may be released in fire situations. Suspect cancer hazard. May cause cancer. OSHA Hazard Communication Standard This product is a "Hazardous Chemical" as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause moderate eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. * Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC Skin Contact: Brief contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. Prolonged contact may cause moderate 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. Observations in animals include: Lethargy. Skin Sensitization: Skin contact may cause an allergic skin reaction. Inhalation: Prolonged excessive exposure to mist may cause adverse effects. Excessive exposure may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. Observations in animals include: Lethargy. 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. Observations in animals include Lethargy. In humans, symptoms may include Abdominal discomfort. May cause central nervous system depression. Diarrhea.

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 the active ingredient(s) In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs Kidney. Liver. Eye. Thyroid. 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. For the minor component(s) Naphthalene. Has caused cancer in some laboratory animals. In humans, there is limited evidence of cancer in workers involved in naphthalene production. Limited oral studies in rats were negative. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects For the active ingredient(s) For the minor component(s) Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic 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. For similar active ingredient(s). Triclopyr. In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
