SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Caution. Harmful if swallowed, absorbed through skin, or inhaled. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handing. Remove contaminated clothing and wash clothing before reuse.

Potential health effects

Eye Irritation: May cause slight temporary eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. 3. (con’t) Skin Irritation: Prolonged exposure may cause slight skin irritation. Did not cause allergic skin reactions when tested in guinea pigs. Skin Absorption: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is low. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury. Swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. Inhalation: At room temperature, vapors are minimal due to the physical properties. A single exposure is not likely to be hazardous. Systemic (Other Target Organ) Effects: In chronic toxicity studies in animals, Fluridone has been shown to cause liver and kidney effects.

Cancer information

The components did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies. Teratology (Birth Defects): In animal studies this product did not cause birth defects. Other fetal effects occurred only at doses toxic to the mother. Mutagenicity (Effects on Genetic Material): Results of mutagenicity tests in animals have been negative. Results of a battery of in-vitro mutagenicity tests, except for one, have also been negative. Based on these results and the lack of carcinogenic response in long-term studies, Fluridone is not considered to be mutagenic.
