3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
- Brown to tan, odorless, solid (cardboard treated with 100 ppm).
- Combustible. Will support combustion at elevated temperatures.
- Thermal decomposition and burning may form toxic by-products.
- For large exposures or fire, wear personal protective equipment.
- Slightly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Keep out of drains and water
courses.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Effects from overexposure result from swallowing this
product. Symptoms of overexposure include diarrhea.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: None presently known.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs
and persists.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
INGESTION: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. If any discomfort persists, obtain medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs
and persists, obtain medical attention.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product is expected to have low oral, dermal and
inhalation toxicity. It is expected to be practically non-irritating to the
skin and eyes. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed
by symptomatic and supportive care.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustible. May support combustion at elevated temperatures.
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.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: May produce hydrogen fluoride.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES:
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.
To clean spill area, wash with a solution of soap and water. Sweep or scrape
up material, place it into a container, and label contents. Dispose of containerized
wastes according to the method given in Section 13, "Disposal Considerations".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: 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
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where dust
may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face
shield.
RESPIRATORY: For dust exposure 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).
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case
of eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking or using tobacco.
Shower at the end of the workday.
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
ODOR: Odorless
APPEARANCE: Brown to tan solid (cardboard 100 ppm)
SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Insoluble
MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 527.2 (sulfluramid)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Excessive heat and fire.
STABILITY: Stable
POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
DERMAL LD50: >2000 mg/kg (rat)
ORAL LD50: >5000 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: >4.4 mg/L/4 hour (rat) (sulfluramid)
SENSITIZATION: A similarly-formulated product produces moderate skin sensitization
in laboratory animals, and may produce similar effects in humans.
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product is expected to have low oral,
dermal and inhalation toxicity. It is expected to be practically non-irritating
to the skin and eyes. Large doses of a similarly-formulated product, administered
to laboratory animals, have produced symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominogenital
staining.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the formulation. In
a battery of tests, sulfluramid was shown to be non-mutagenic. Sulfluramid was
shown to be non-teratogenic in developmental toxicity studies with laboratory
animals. Preliminary studies in dogs suggest that the ingestion of high doses
for prolonged periods may arrest spermatogenesis.
CARCINOGENICITY:
IARC: Not listed
NTP: Not listed
OSHA: Not listed
OTHER: (ACGIH) Not listed
COMMENTS: The data presented above are for a similarly-formulated product, or
for the active ingredient, as noted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Sulfluramid has a Log Pow of >6.85, is considered immobile
in soil, and is unlikely to enter groundwater.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Sulfluramid is considered slightly toxic to fish
and aquatic arthropods (LC50 values >6.6 - 10 mg/L). The toxicity to birds
is considered moderate by single oral exposure, but high when the exposure is
via the diet. The oral LD50 in bobwhite quail is 474 mg/kg, while the dietary
LC50 is 300 ppm. The dietary LC50 in the mallard is 165 ppm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is
prohibited. Empty containers can be disposed of with ordinary household trash,
as per label recommendations.
EMPTY CONTAINER: For larger quantities, as in the case of spills, the preferred
method of disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national
laws and regulations. If this method is not available, then dispose of empty
container in a sanitary landfill. However, because acceptable methods of disposal
may vary by location, and regulatory requirements may change, contact the appropriate
regulatory authority prior to disposal.
