HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATIONS: ' <br />EMERGENCY OVERVIEW <br />Hazardous Chemical. Amber liquitl. Combustible. <br />Kerosene-like odor. May cause eye and skin irritation <br />Tbe LDs for sk'In absorption is >2000 mg/k9 (rabbas) <br />and >5000 mg/kg (rats). Oral LDS for tale Ls 1581 <br />mgAcg (males) and 1338 mg/kg (females).

Probrgetl or hequentN repeated skin coo- <br />kct may cause allergk skin reactions in sane kldivld- <br />' oats. Wnh the dilwe mix, no allergb Skin reaction's <br />expected. Prolonged skin contact is unAkety to resort <br />in absorpton of harmful amcunk. Repeated skin can <br />tact may resu8 in absorpton of harmful artorums. The <br />LDs for skin absorption is >2000 mg/kg (rabbits) and <br />>5000 nx,7/kg (rats). <br />INGESTION: Low toxicity 8 swalbwed. The oral LDse <br />for rats is 1581 mg/kg (males) and 1338 mg/kg (fe- <br />males). Small artaunis swalbwed incidental to rar- <br />mal handling operations are not likely b cause injury: <br />however, swallowing larger amounk may cause injury. <br />Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion a <br />vomiting, causing lung damage or even death tlue fa <br />chemical pneumonia. <br />INHALATION: EzcesSNe exposure may pose inf- <br />tation bupper respiratory fract (nose and throat). <br />Kerosene may cause central nervous system effects. <br />SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN)EFFECTS: <br />Triclopyr BEE, in animate, e6ects have been reported <br />on the folowing organs: Dbod. kklney, and'liver. <br />CANCER INFORMATION: Triclopyr BEE did riot <br />pose pricer in kboratory animals. In a lifetime an- <br />imal dermal carcinogenicity study, an increased irki- <br />dence of skin tumors was observed when kerosene <br />was applied at doses that also produced skin kritatbn. <br />This response was similar to that produced in skin by ', <br />other types of chronic chemicaUphysipl irritation. No <br />increase in tumors was observed when ran-irritating <br />dilutions or kerosene were applied at equivalent doses, <br />indicating that kerosene is unlikely tq cause skin can <br />car in the absence of bog-term wntinued skin irrikibn. <br />In bog-term animal studies with ethylene glycol butyl <br />ether, small but statistiply significant increases in in <br />mors were observed in mice but not tau. The effects <br />are not believed Ic be relevant to humans. If the ma- <br />terial is hantlkd in accordance with proper industrial <br />UPDATES AVAILABLE AT WWW.GREENBOOK.NE7 <br />handling, exposures shook! not pose a priinogenb <br />risk to man. <br />TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): For tricbpyr BEE. <br />birth defects are unlikey. Exposures having no effect <br />on the mother should have no effect on the Cetus. Did <br />not cause birth defects in animals: other eBecLS were <br />seen in the fetus Doty at doses which caused toxic <br />e6ects to the norther. <br />REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Triclopyr BEE, in lebwa- <br />tory animal studies, e6ects on reproduction nave been <br />seen only at doses that producetl significant toxicity a <br />the parent animals. <br />4. FIRST AID: <br />EYES: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for several <br />minutes. Remove contact lenses after initial 1-2 min <br />ores and wntinue Flushing for several minutes.
