EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Primary

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eyes, Skin, Inhalation, Ingestion

Potential health effects

Inhalation may cause burning in the chest, with coughing. Prolonged inhalation sometimes causes dizziness. Ingestion usually leads to vomiting. Pain the chest and abdomen, and diarrhea may follow. Headache, mental confusion, and bizarre behavior are early manifestations of severe poisoning, which may progress to unconsciousness. EYE: Mildly irritating SKIN: Moderately irritating INHALATION: Moderately irritating to the mucous membranes. Inhalation of sprays may cause burning sensations in the respiratory tract, resulting in coughing. INGESTION: May cause vomiting, with pain in the chest and abdomen, and diarrhea.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Individuals with chronic skin disease or known sensitivity to chlorophenoxy compounds should either avoid using them or take strict precautions to avoid contact (respirator, gloves, etc.) POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Carfentrazone is very toxic to algae and moderately toxic to fish. This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may adversely affect aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater. When cleaning equipment, do not pour the washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D and 2.4DP-p have been associated with mixing, loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-D and 2,4DP- p pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination. IV.
