system effects.

Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you when calling Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison

contol center or doctor, or going for treatment.

If swallowed: Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment

advice. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so after calling 800-

888-8372 or by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses,

if present, after 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center

or doctor for treatment advice.

If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-

20 minutes. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial

respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or

doctor for further treatment advice.

Notes to Physician

Medical Condition Likely to be Aggravated by Exposure

None known.

Fire and Explosion

Unusual Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazards

During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

In Case of Fire

Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of

combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated. Water runoff can cause

environmental damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.

In Case of Spill or Leak

Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages

or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is

a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage

and drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment

Section. Cover entire spill with absorbing material and place into compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard

water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional

absorbent and place into compatible disposal container. Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal

container, seal container and arrange for disposition.

There is no specific antidote if this product is ingested.

Treat symptomatically.

Skin contact paresthesia effects (itching, tingling, burning or numbness) are transient, lasting up to 24 hours. Treat

symptomatically.

Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for

exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

Where eye contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles.

Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves, coveralls, socks and

chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant headgear.

Stringent housekeeping measures are necessary to prevent translocation of the material from contaminated

work surfaces to uncontaminated surfaces (railings, doors, etc.). Unprotected contact with such

translocated material can result in paresthesia effects (see Section 11).

Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels

below exposure limits. A NIOSH-certified combination air-purifying respirator with an N, P or R 95 or HE

class filter and an organic vapor cartridge may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne

concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is

limited. Use a pressure demand atmosphere-supplying respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled

release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators

may not provide adequate protection.

Summary of Effects

Eco-Acute Toxicity

Target Organs

Other Toxicity Information

In humans, contact with exposed skin may result in temporary itching, tingling, burning or numbness, called paresthesia.

The effect may result from splash, aerosol, or hot vapor contact, or transfer to the face from contaminated gloves and

hands. The symptoms normally disappear within 24 hours. Face and genital areas are especially susceptible to this effect.

Paresthesia involving the face is also known as "subjective facial sensation" or SFS.

Cumene (< 1%)

The supplier reports that high vapor/aerosol concentrations (> 1000 ppm) are irritating to the eyes and the

respiratory tract, may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other central

nervous system effects.
