SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Hazards Emergency Overview Color: White Physical State: Liquid Odor: Mild 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. May cause slight corneal injury. Skin Contact: Brief contact may cause moderate skin irritation with local redness. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Skin Sensitization: Has demonstrated the potential for contact allergy in mice. Has caused allergic skin reactions when tested in mice. Inhalation: Mist may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. Prolonged excessive exposure to mist may cause serious adverse effects, even death. * Indicates a Trademark * Indicates a Trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC Ingestion: Moderate 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 serious injury, even death. Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, causing lung damage or even death due to chemical pneumonia. Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate type cholinesterase inhibition. Effects of Repeated Exposure For the active ingredient(s) Chlorpyrifos. Excessive exposure may produce organophosphate type cholinesterase inhibition. Signs and symptoms of excessive exposure to active ingredient may be headache, dizziness, incoordination, muscle twitching, tremors, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, sweating, pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, salivation, tearing, tightness in chest, excessive urination, convulsions. In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Adrenal gland. Dose levels producing these effects were many times higher than any dose levels expected from exposure due to use. For the solvent(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Kidney. Liver. Blood. For the minor component(s) In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Respiratory tract.

Cancer information

For the minor component(s) Cumene. Has caused cancer in laboratory animals. However, the relevance of this to humans is unknown. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects For the active ingredient(s) Chlorpyrifos. Has been toxic to the fetus in lab animals at doses toxic to the mother. For the solvent(s): Has been toxic to the fetus in lab animals at doses toxic to the mother. Has caused birth defects in lab animals only at doses producing severe toxicity in the mother. For the minor component(s): Has been toxic to the fetus in lab animals at doses toxic to the mother. Did not cause birth defects in laboratory animals. Reproductive Effects: Chlorpyrifos did not interfere with fertility in reproduction studies in laboratory animals. Some evidence of toxicity to the offspring occurred, but only at a dose high enough to produce significant toxicity to the parent animals. For the solvent(s): In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals. Reproductive effects seen in female animals are believed to be due to altered nutritional states resulting from extremely high doses of glycerine given in the diet. Similar effects have been seen in animals fed synthetic diets.
