2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Creamy off-white liquid suspension with a mildly phenolic odor. Slightly combustible. May support combustion at elevated temperatures. Degrades at temperatures above 130C (266F). Thermal decomposition and burning may form toxic by-products. For large exposures or fire, wear personal protective equipment. Highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Keep out of drains and water courses. Highly toxic if swallowed, and could be highly toxic if absorbed through the mucous membranes of the eyes. Expected to be toxic by inhalation.

Effects from overexposure result from either swallowing, inhaling or coming into contact with the eyes or skin. Conditions of increased temperature and humidity may aid skin absorption of this product and, therefore, increase toxicity. Symptoms of overexposure include headache, light-headedness, weakness, abdominal cramps, nausea, excessive salivation, perspiration, blurred vision, tearing, pin-point pupils, blue skin color, convulsions, tremor and coma.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED:

None presently known.

INGESTION: Drink 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat with a
finger. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor.

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, see a
medical doctor. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration and see a medical doctor immediately.

NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product is highly toxic if swallowed, and has low
dermal toxicity. It is expected to be toxic by inhalation. It is minimally irritating to the skin and practically non-irritating to the eyes; however, absorption through the mucous membranes of the eyes could be highly toxic. Carbofuran 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. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
necessary. Contain all runoff. Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if

FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS:

degrades at temperatures above 130C (266F).

Slightly combustible. Carbofuran will burn if ignited and

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 noncombustible 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 a bleach or caustic/soda ash solution. Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water solution. Absorb, as above any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste already collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of drummed wastes according to the method outlined in Section 13, "Disposal Considerations".

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

EXPOSURE LIMITS
Chemical Name Carbofuran Propylene Glycol ACGIH 0.1 mg/m3 (TWA) OSHA 0.1 mg/m3 (PEL) 10.0 mg/m3 (WEEL) Supplier

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:

Use local exhaust at all process locations where vapor or mist may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYES AND FACE:

or a face shield. For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective goggles

RESPIRATORY:

For splash, mist or spray exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or full-face air-purifying respirator which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne concentrations.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:

Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills, wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).

GLOVES:

Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as rubber, neoprene or nitrile. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.

WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES:

Clean water should be available for washing in case of eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Shower at the end of the workday.

ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product is highly toxic if swallowed, and has low dermal toxicity. It is expected to be toxic by inhalation. It is minimally irritating to the skin and practically non-irritating to the eyes; however, absorption through the mucous membranes of the eyes could be highly toxic. With dermal exposure to this product, conditions of increased temperature and humidity facilitate skin absorption and, therefore, promote increased toxicity. Carbofuran is a reversible cholinesterase inhibiting pesticide, which elicits symptoms in humans typical of cholinesterase inhibition including headaches, 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 exposure may result in death. In humans, ingestion of large amounts of propylene glycol has resulted in symptoms of reversible central nervous system depression including stupor, rapid breathing and heartbeat, profuse sweating and seizures.

CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, carbofuran did not cause reproductive toxicity, teratogenicity, or carcinogenicity. Chronic exposure of laboratory animals to carbofuran has caused decreased cholinesterase activity (erythrocyte, plasma, and/or brain). An overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicity testing with carbofuran. Repeated overexposure to propylene glycol can produce central nervous system depression, hemolysis and minimal kidney damage. CARCINOGENICITY:

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA:

Carbofuran has a moderate rate of degradation in soil (half-life = 50 days). It undergoes rapid hydrolysis under alkaline (high pH) conditions, but is stable at acidic (low) pH. Carbofuran has a Log Pow of 1.4 and a bioconcentration factor of 9 (low potential for environmental accumulation). It may be mobile in soil, especially soils with a high sand content and, therefore, has a potential to contaminate groundwater. In heavier textured soils, the mobility of carbofuran is expected to be moderate. With LC50 values between 5.3 to 36 g/L to fish and aquatic arthropods in the laboratory, this product is considered highly toxic. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic environment. It is also considered highly toxic to waterfowl and upland game birds, and has an oral LD50 of 2.67 to 10.75 mg/kg. Carbofuran is easily metabolized and, because it is a rapidly reversible cholinesterase inhibitor, recovery from symptoms of sublethal exposure occurs quickly.

ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
