<br />. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
<br />' mere Overview
<br />\_ . ~ppearence and Odor. Amber liquid, phenolic odor.
<br />Warning Statements: CAUTION. Keep out of ream of
<br />children. Harmful i(swallowed w ahsorbetl through the
<br />skin. Causes moderale'eye Irritation. Avoid breathing
<br />vapors or sprey mist Do not get in eyes, on skin or
<br />on clothing.
<br />P tentia dA verse Health ffectr
<br />LikeN Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, eye and skin
<br />contact.
<br />Eye ConbcC MmimalN irtitating.
<br />Skin DOnted: Minirtrally irritating. Overexposure by
<br />skin absorptbn may cause nausea, vomi5ng, abdomi-
<br />nalpain, decreased blood pressure, muscle weakness,
<br />muscle spasms. May cause allergic reaction in sensi-
<br />tive indivitluals.
<br />Inhalation: Harmful R inhaled. May cause symptoms
<br />similar to mose from ingestion.
<br />Ingesdan: Hartnfuf R swallowed. May cause nausea,
<br />vomlUng, abdominal pain, decreased blood pressure,
<br />muscle weakness, muscle spasms.
<br />Medical Conditions Possibly Aggravated By ExDO•
<br />sure: inhalatbn of produU may aggravate existing
<br />cMona respaalory problems such as asthma, emphy-
<br />sema or bronchitis. Skkr tooted may aggravate exist-
<br />ing skin tlisease.
<br />8ubchronic (Target Organ) Effects: (An adverse ef-
<br />fect cash symptoms mat devebD slowly over a long
<br />period of time): Repeated pverezposure may cause
<br />efleds o liver, kidneys, blood chemistry, and gross
<br />motor TunUan. Rare cases of peripheral nerve dam-
<br />age have been reported, but exfensive animal studies
<br />have failed to substantiate mere observations, even
<br />at high doses of 2,4-D for prolonged periods.
<br />Chronic Effects/Carcinogenic(ry: Prolonged over-
<br />exposure can cause liver, koney and muscle tlam-
<br />age. Tne International Agency for Research on Can-
<br />cer (IARC) lisp exposure to chlorophenoky herbicides
<br />s a Uass 2B cardragen, the category for limited evF
<br />rice for carciragenalty in humans. However, more
<br />'urtent 2,4-D lifetime feeding studies in rats antl mice
<br />•d~' id not show carcinogenic potential. The USEPA has
<br />given a class D cbssRication (not classifiable as o
<br />human Carcinogenicity).
<br />UPDATES AVAILABLE AT WNNV,GREENBOOK.NET
<br />Reproductive Toxicity: No impairment of reproduc
<br />five function attributable to 2,4-D has been noted ii
<br />laboretory animal stutlies.
<br />Developments! Toxicity: Studies in laboratory an
<br />imals with 2,4-D have shown decreased fetal bod'
<br />weights art tlelayed devebpmen[ in the oRspring a
<br />doses toxic a mother animals.
<br />Genotoxidty: There have been some posdiva am
<br />some negative studies, bW the weigh of evidence A
<br />that 2,4D 's rat mutageno.
<br />4. FLRS7 AID MEASURES
<br />R swallowed: Do not Induce vomiting. If patlent is
<br />conscious and alert, gNe 2 to 3 glasses of water h
<br />drink. Do not give anything by mouth to an uncon
<br />scions person. Get metlical attention.
<br />R on skin: Immediatey wash sMn cairn plenty d soaF
<br />and water, if available.
<br />If in eyes: Hold eyelitls open and flush with a steady,
<br />gentle stream of water tw at least 75 minutes. Gel
<br />medical attention, preferabry an opMhahralogist
<br />R inhaled: Remove to fresh a'r. R rat hreamirg, glue
<br />artificial respiratipn. Administer oxygen R necessary.
<br />Get medical attention.
<br />Note to Physician: This protluU contains petroleum
<br />distillates. If large amounts (greater than 1 M/kg body
<br />weight) of mis produU nave been ingestetl, the atom
<br />ach should be evacuated by gastric inNbation w8h the
<br />aitl of a culled endotracheal tube to prevem aspiration
<br />of pefreleum tlisuTfates and possible Ulemirai pneumo-
<br />nia. Afler removal d stomach wntents, wash stomach
<br />by ins011irg 30 to 50 grams of activated charcoal in 3
<br />ro 4 ounces d water through the stomach tube and
<br />again remove stomach contents. Avoid oity bzativas.
<br />This ProtluU contains a phenoxy ne2icidal chemaal.
<br />There is no specific antitlote. All treamlents should be
<br />based on observed signs and symptoms of distress in
<br />the patient. Overexposure to materials other than mis
<br />produU may have occurted.
<br />Myoonic eRects may indutle muscle fibrillations, rtry-
<br />otonia, and muscglar weakness. Ingestion of massNe
<br />doses may result in pereistem fall d bbod pressure.
<br />MyagbbM and hemoglobin may be fourM in urine, Ele-
<br />vations in ladate dehydrogenase (LDH), SGOT, SGPT
<br />and aldolase indicate the extant of muscle damage.
<br />R has been suggested that overexposure in humans
<br />may aReU both the central and peripheral nervous
<br />systems. Tire aerie eRects on the tamest nervous
<br />system resemble those protlucetl Dy alcohol or seda-
<br />tive drugs. In isalatetl cases, peripherel neuropathy
<br />antl retlucetl nerve conduction vebcities have been
<br />reported although these observations may be relatetl
<br />o Omer factors. Gas-liquid chromatography for deted-
<br />ing and measuring chlorophenoxy compounds in Nood
<br />and urine may be useful in confirming art assessing
<br />rile ma9m8ude of chbrophenoxy ahswPtion.
<br />5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASUREB
<br />Flash Point: 218'F (103'C) by Seta-FWSh Uosetl cup
<br />antl ASTM D3278.
<br />Autoignition Temperature: Not determinetl.
<br />Flammablliry Limits: Not determined.
<br />EMinguishing Metlla: Rewmmentled (large fire):
<br />foam, water spray. Recommended (small fires): dry
<br />chemical, carbon d'axide.
<br />Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters
<br />should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved sett-comained
<br />breaming apparatrs and full protective: coming. Dike
<br />area o prevent runoff and contamination of water
<br />sources. Dispose of Ore control water titer.
<br />Unusual Fire and Explosion hazards: When heated
<br />above the flash point mis material emits flammable
<br />vapors which, when mixed wbh air, can bum or be
<br />explosive. Fine mist w spray may be flammable at
<br />temperatures below me flash point Untler fire condi-
<br />tions, toxic, cortosfve fumes ere emitted. Containers
<br />witl burst from imemal pressure under extreme fire
<br />conditions.
<br />Hazardous Decomposition Materials (Under Fire
<br />Conditions): Hydrogen chloride, Omer chorine wm-
<br />pounds, oxides of nifro9en and oxdes of carbon.
<br />6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
