<br />. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
<br />l~ meraencv Overview:
<br />' ppearance and Odor.' Amber liquid, phenosc odor.
<br />Warning Statements: CAUTION. Keep out o} reach df
<br />children. Harmful g swallowed or ebsometl mrough the
<br />skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid breaming
<br />vapors or sp2y mist. Do cwt get in eyes, on skin or
<br />on cbihing.
<br />Potentia Adverb Health ENects;
<br />Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalatwn, eye antl skin.
<br />contaG.
<br />Eye Contact: Minimally initatkg.
<br />Skin Contact: Minimaly irritating. Overexposure by
<br />skin absorp['nn may cause nausea, vomiting, abdomi
<br />riot pain, decreased blood pressure, muscle weakness,
<br />muscle spasms. Mey cause asergic reaGan ar sans}
<br />tive individuals.
<br />Inhalation: Harmful g infialeU. MaY cause symptoms
<br />similar to those from ingestion.
<br />ingestion: Harmful g swallowed. May cause nausea,
<br />vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased Dlood pressure,
<br />muscle weakness, muscle spasms.
<br />Medical Contlilions Possibly Aggravated By ExPO•
<br />sure: Inmalation of product may aggravate existeg
<br />chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphy-
<br />sema or bronchilrs. Skin contaG may aggravate exist-
<br />ing skin disease.
<br />Subchronic (Target Organ) ENects: (An adverse ef-
<br />fect wim symptoms that develop slowly over a long
<br />period of time): Repeated overexposure may cause
<br />effects a liver, kidneys. blood chemistry, and gross
<br />motor function. Rare cases of peripheral nerve dam-
<br />age have been reported, but extensive animal studies
<br />have failed to substantiate mesa observations, even
<br />at high doses of 2,4-D for prolonged periods.
<br />Chronic EReds/Carclnageniciry: Prolonged over-
<br />exposure can cause INer, kidney and muscle dam-
<br />age. Thelnternational Agency for Research on Can-
<br />cer (IARC) lists exposure to chlorophenoxy herbicides
<br />s a class 28 carcinogen, the category for limited evi-
<br />ence for carcinogenic6y in humans. However, more
<br />.urrent 2,4-D lifetime feeding studies in rats and mice
<br />id riot Show carcinogenic potential. The USEPA has
<br />given a class D classification (not classifiable as a
<br />human carcinogenicity).
<br />Reproductive Toxicity: No impairment of reproduc-
<br />tive functon attributable to 2,4-D has been noted in
<br />laboratory animal studies.
<br />Developmental TGxiciry: Studies in laboratory air
<br />imals with 2,4-D have shown decreased fetal body
<br />weghts and delayed developrtlent in the oRsprtrg at
<br />doses toxic to mother animals.
<br />Genotoxiciry: There have been some pos4ive and
<br />some negative studies, but the weight of evbence is
<br />that 2,4-D is not mutagertic.
<br />4. FIRST AID MEASURES '
<br />N swallowed: Do not iMuce vomiting. If patient is
<br />' wnscious and alert, give 2 to 3 glasses pf water to
<br />dank. Po not give anyming q' mouth to.an uncon-
<br />scious person. Get medical attention.
<br />If on skin: Immediatey wash skin with plenty of soap
<br />and water, it available.
<br />N in eyes: Hold eyelids open and flush wim a steady,
<br />gentle stream of wafer iw at least 15 minutes. Get
<br />medical attention, preferably an ophthalmobgisl
<br />N inhaled: Remove ro fresh air. If not breaming, give
<br />arti(iclal respiration. Administer oxygen 6 necessary.

<br />Note to Physician: This product contains petroleum
<br />distillates. If large amounts (greater man 1 mgkg brxiy
<br />weight) of mia product have been ingested, me stom-
<br />ach should be evacuated by gasirk intubatbn wlih the
<br />aid of a culled endotracheal Nbe to prevent aspiration
<br />of petroleum distillates and possible chemical pceurrw
<br />nia. Aber removal of stomach contents, wash stomach
<br />by instilling 30 to 50 grams of activated charcoal in 3
<br />a 4 ounces of water mrough the stomach tube acct
<br />again remove stomach contents. Avoid oily laxatives.
<br />This produG contains a pbenoxy herbicidal chemical.
<br />There Is no specifx; antidote. All treatments shoua be
<br />based on observed signs antl symptoms of d'~siress in
<br />the patient Overexposure to materials other than mis
<br />produG may have occurred.
<br />Myotona effects may include muscle fibrillations, my
<br />otonia, antl muscular weakness. Ingestion of massive
<br />doses may resu0 in Dersistent fall of hood pressure.
<br />Myogbbin and hemogbbin may be found in urine. Ele-
<br />vatipns in Wcute dehydrogenase (LDH), SGOT, SGPT
<br />and adoase indicate the extent of muscle damage.
<br />It has Deen suggested that overexposure in humans
<br />may aBeG bem the central ant perrpherel rrervaus
<br />systems. The acute effects on the central nervous
<br />system resemble those produced by alcohol w sede-
<br />tive drugs. In 'solaced cases, peripheral neuropathy
<br />antl reduced nerve conduction vebciees Aave been
<br />reported although these observations may be related
<br />a Omer factors. Gas-liquid chromatrgraphy for tleteW-
<br />Ing ant measuring chlorophenoxy compounds in blood
<br />antl urine may be useful in confirming antl assessing
<br />the magnitude of chlorophenoxy absorpfwn.
<br />6. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
<br />Flash Point: 218'F (703'C) by Seta-Flash Gosetl cup
<br />and ASTM D3278.
<br />Autoignilion Temperature: Not determined.
<br />Flammability Limits: Not determined.
<br />Extinguishing Metlla: Recommended (Wrge fve):
<br />foam, water spray. Recommended (small fires): dry
<br />chemical, carbon dioxide.
<br />Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters
<br />should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self-confainetl
<br />breaming apparatus and full protective coming. Dike
<br />area to prevent runoff and contamination of water
<br />sources. Dispose of fire control water later.
<br />Unusual Fire and Explosion hazards: When heated
<br />above tbe flash point, this material emits flammaba
<br />vapors which, when mixed with air, can bum or be
<br />explosive. Fine mist or spray may be flammable M
<br />temperaNres bekrv+ the flash point. Under fire condL
<br />lions, toxic. corrosive fumes are emitted. Containers
<br />will burst from internal pressure under extreme fire
<br />conditions.
<br />Hazardous Decomposition Materials (Under Fire
<br />Conditions): Hydrogen chloride, other chorine cola '
<br />pounds, oxides of nbrogen and oxides o/ carbon.
<br />6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
<br />Evacuation Procedures and Safety: Wear apPro-
<br />]riate protective gear far the situaflon. See Personal
<br />protection information in Section 6.
<br />Containment of Spill: D6re spill using absorbent w
<br />knpervbus materials such as earth, sand w clay. Col-
<br />lectand wntain contaminated absorbent and dike rre-
<br />terial kx disposal.
<br />Cleanup and Disposal of Spill: Pump arty free liquid
<br />into an appropriate cbsed container. Collect wash-
<br />ings for disposal. Decontaminate took and equipment
<br />following cleanup. (See Section 13.)
<br />Environmental and Regulatory Reportings Prevent
<br />material from enledrg public sewer system orany wa-
<br />~terways. W not flush to drein. Large spills m soil or
<br />similar surfaces may necess8ete removal of top soil.
<br />The affected area should be removed and pWced m
<br />an appropriate conlairxe for deposal. Spills may be
<br />reportable m the National Response Center (80g-424
<br />8802) antl to slate and/or bcal agerwies.
<br />7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
<br />Handling:
<br />Handle containers wrehtlly to avoid damage and spills.
<br />Storage:
<br />Store in original contairer h e dry secured storage
<br />area. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by stor-
<br />age or disposal. Avoid storage in Gore proximity b
<br />insecticides, fungic'xfes, feml¢ers antl seeds. Keep
<br />wntainer tgMy cased when not m use.
