Highly toxic to fish and/or other aquatic organisms. Avoid temperatures above 158F, 70C . ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I)QTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.) EYE: May cause pain. May causa Irritation with corneal injury which may result in permanent Impairment of vision, even blindness. SKIN: Prolonged exposure may cause moderate skin Irritation. Repeated exposure may cause some 1rrltatlon, even a bum. May cause more severe response If skin is abradea {scratched or cut). A single prolonged exposure Is not likely 1o result In the material being absorbed 1hrough skin in harmful amounts. A similar formulation with less active Ingredient has caused anergic skin reactions when test In guinea pigs. Did not cause allergic skin reactions when tested in humans. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity Is considered to be low to moderate. Small amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing amounts larger than that may cause injury. even death. INHALA TlON: MJsta may cause Irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Trace levels of cyanogens bromide and dlbromoacetonltrlle vapors may be present in un·vented containers and may be irritating. SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS; Excessive exposure may Increase the t:lood and tissue levels of bromine. Observations in animals Include kidney effects following repeated tngestion, but no evidence of systemic toxicity following repeated dermal exposures at maximum attainable doses (data on active ingredient). REPORDUCTIVE EFFECTS: No relevant information found. Dec-02-04 01:30P Water Treatment ·Services .. ·281-480-3665 P.03 WTS·50, continued
