FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, contact a medical doctor. SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and persists. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting and do not give liquids of any kind to the person. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor immediately. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, contact a medical doctor. NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product is moderately toxic if swallowed, and slightly toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It is moderately irritating to the eyes and mildly irritating to the skin. Carbosulfan is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor. Atropine sulfate is antidotal. Support respiration as needed with removal of secretions, maintenance of a patent airway and, if necessary, artificial ventilation. If cyanosis is absent: Adults - start treatment by giving 2 mg atropine intravenously or intramuscularly, if necessary, and repeat with 0.4 - 2.0 mg atropine at 15 minute intervals until atropinization occurs (tachycardia, flushed skin, dry mouth, mydriasis); Children under 12 - initial dose = 0.05 mg/kg body weight and repeat dose = 0.02 - 0.05 mg/kg body weight. Use of oximes such as 2-PAM is controversial. Observe patient to insure that these symptoms do not recur as atropinization wears off. If in eyes, instill one drop of homatropine. Contains aromatic hydrocarbons that may produce a severe pneumonitis if aspirated during vomiting. Consideration should be given to gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in place. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if necessary. Contain all runoff. FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Moderately combustible. When heated above the flash point, this material releases vapors which, when mixed with air, can burn or be explosive. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors generated. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons and animals out of the area. Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Dike to confine spill and absorb with a non- combustible absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump waste into a drum and label contents for disposal. To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with an acetic acid or vinegar solution. Follow this by washing with a bleach or caustic/soda ash solution. Finally, wash with a strong soap and water solution. Absorb, as above, any excess liquid and add both solutions to the drums of waste already collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13,

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

EYE EFFECTS: Moderately irritating SKIN EFFECTS: Mildly irritating DERMAL LD50: > 2,900 mg/kg (rabbit) ORAL LD50: 69 mg/kg (rat) INHALATION LC50: 2.15 mg/l (1 h) (rat) SENSITIZATION: Carbosulfan produces skin sensitization (allergic reaction) in laboratory animals and may produce similar effects in humans. ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product is moderately toxic if swallowed, and slightly toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It is moderately irritating to the eyes and mildly irritating to the skin. Carbosulfan is a reversible cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticide, which elicits symptoms in humans typical of cholinesterase inhibition including headache, light-headedness, weakness, abdominal cramps, nausea, excessive salivation, perspiration and blurred vision. More severe signs of cholinesterase inhibition include tearing, pin-point pupils, excessive respiratory secretions, cyanosis, convulsions, generalized tremor and coma. Excessive cholinesterase inhibition may result in death. With dermal exposure to carbosulfan, conditions of increased temperature and humidity facilitate skin absorption and, therefore, promote increased toxicity. With dermal exposure to this product, conditions of increased temperature and humidity facilitate skin absorption and, therefore, promote increased toxicity. Inhalation of aromatic hydrocarbon vapors may cause dizziness, disturbances in vision, drowsiness, respiratory irritation, and eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation. Vomiting after ingestion of this product may cause aspiration of aromatic hydrocarbons into the lungs, which may result in fatal pulmonary edema. With LC50 values between 44 to 46 µg/L to aquatic arthropods and fish in the laboratory, this product is considered highly toxic. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic environment. This product is considered highly toxic to water fowl (oral LD50 = 15 mg/kg) and moderately toxic to upland game birds (oral LD50 = 104 mg/kg). Carbosulfan is an easily metabolized and reversible cholinesterase inhibitor, recovery from symptoms of a sublethal exposure occurs quickly. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited. If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal. EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers that held this material should be cleaned, prior to disposal, by triple rinsing. Containers which held this material may be cleaned by being triple- rinsed, and recycled, with the rinsate being incinerated. Do not cut or weld metal containers. Vapors that form may create an explosion hazard. 14.

Potential chronic health

FROM OVEREXPOSURE No data available for the formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, carbosulfan did not cause reproductive toxicity,

Teratogenic Effects

or carcinogenicity. Chronic exposure to carbosulfan to animals has caused decreased cholinesterase activity (erythrocyte, plasma, and/or brain). An overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicity testing with carbosulfan. Chronic exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons may cause headaches, dizziness, loss of sensations or feelings (such as numbness), and liver and kidney damage. Under the conditions of 2-year inhalation studies, conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), there was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity of ethylbenzene in male rats based on increased incidences of renal tubule neoplasms. The incidences of testicular adenoma were also increased. There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in female rats based on increased incidences of renal tubule adenomas. There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in male mice based on increased incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar neoplasm. There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in female mice based on increased incidences of hepatocellular neoplasms. Studies conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) showed that there is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of ethylbenzene and that there is sufficient evidence in experimental animals; therefore, the overall evaluation shows that ethylbenzene is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). Inhalation of xylene vapors at high doses has also resulted in an increased incidence of malformations and decreases in fetal weight in laboratory animals. Damage from xylene may be potentiated by alcohol. CARCINOGENICITY: Chemical Name IARC NTP

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient. ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Carbosulfan is rapidly degraded in neutral soil (half-life < 5 days) with the degradation rate increasing as pH decreases. A major breakdown product is carbofuran, which degrades more slowly (half-life approx. 50 days). Carbosulfan is hydrolytically unstable in acid, with stability increasing with increasing pH. The bioconcentration potential of carbosulfan is low with a Log Pow of 3.3, and a measured BCF in fish of 990. Carbosulfan and its major breakdown product are unlikely to leach into groundwater.
