<br />3. HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATIONS:
<br />EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
<br />Hazardous Chemical. Amber liquid. Combustite.
<br />Kerosene-like otlor. May cause eye and skin irtite9on
<br />The LDs for skin absorption is >2000 mg7kg (rabbits)
<br />antl >8000 mg/kg (rats). Oral LDso for rats is 1581
<br />mgalg (males) and 1338 mg/kg (females). Toxic to
<br />aquatin organsms.
<br />EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER: 80D-992-5994
<br />POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: This section lo-
<br />cludes possible: adverse effeus, which wukl occur R
<br />mis material is not handled in me recammentled mari-
<br />ner.
<br />EYE: May cause slight temporary eye irtttation.
<br />Comsat injury is untikey.
<br />SKIN: Prolonged or repeated conMd may cause skin
<br />irritaton. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin incr.
<br />tact may cause alk:rgic skin reac0ore in some Individ-
<br />uals. With the tlilute mbr, no allergic skin reac0on is
<br />expeged. Prolonged skin wntact is unlikely to result
<br />in absorption at hartn7W amounts. Repeated skin corr.
<br />tact may result in absorption of hartMul amounts. The
<br />LDs for skin absorption is >2000 mglkg (rebbls) antl
<br />>5000 mg/kg (rats).
<br />INGESTION: Low toxicity R swalbwed. The oral LDso
<br />for rats is 1581 mg/kg (males) antl 1338 mg/kg (fe-
<br />males). Small amounts swallowed incidental to nor.
<br />mat handling operations are not likey w cause injury;
<br />however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury,
<br />Aspiration into the tangs may occur during ingestion or
<br />vomttlng, rousing lung tlamage or even death due to
<br />chemical pneumonia.
<br />INFiALA710N: Excessive ezposwe may cause irri-
<br />tatron to upper respiratory had (nose and throat).
<br />Kerosene may cause central nervous system effects.
<br />SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS:
<br />Tridopyr BEE, in an'unals, effects have been reported
<br />on me foROwing organs: bbotl, kidney, and liver.
<br />CANCER INFORMATION: Tdclopyr BEE did not
<br />cause cancer In laboratory animals. In a lifetime an-
<br />imal dermal carcinogenicity study, an increasrad inci-
<br />dence of skin tumors was observed when kerosene
<br />was applied at doses that also produced skin irritation.
<br />This response was similar to that produced in skin by
<br />Omer types of chronic chemical/physical Irtitation. No
<br />increase in tumors was observetl when non-irritatng
<br />dllutbns of kerosene ware applied at equivalent doses,
<br />indicating mat kerosene is unlikely fq cause skin coo- f
<br />car In me absence of longterm continued skin irritation.
<br />In bog-term animal stutlies wtm ethylene 9Ncel butyl
<br />emer, small but statlsticaly sgnRz:ant increases in tu-
<br />adY" roots were observed in mice but not refs. The efteds
<br />are not believed to be relevant ro humans. If me ma-

<br />handling, exposures shored trot pose a carcirwgenk
<br />risk to man.
<br />TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): For triGOpyr BEE.
<br />birth defeb5 are untikey. Exposures having no sited
<br />on the mother should have ro effect on the fetus. Did
<br />nor cause birm defects !n animals; other efrecLS ware
<br />seen in the fetus ony at tloses whkh caused tonic
<br />effects to the mother.
<br />REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: Tricbpyr BEE, in labore-
<br />tory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been
<br />seen ony at doses that produced signHcant toxicity to
<br />the parent animals.
<br />4. FIRST AID:
<br />EYES: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for severel
<br />minutes. Remove contact k:nses after initlal 1-2 mires
<br />ales and wntlnue flushing for several minutes. If af-
<br />fects occur, consult a phystcan, prefereby an ophmaL
<br />mologisl.
<br />SKIN: Wash skin wim plemy of water.
<br />INGESTION: Do not Induce vomiarg. Call a physidan
<br />and/or transpoA to emergency fadliry invnediatety.
<br />INHALATION; Move to fresh air, It not breaming, give
<br />arOficial respiration. If breathing is ditficuh, oxygen
<br />should be administered by qualified personnel. CaN
<br />a physkian or transport to a matlical faGiiry.
<br />NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: The decision of whemer l01o-
<br />duce vomiting or no[ should be made by a physinJan.
<br />ff lavage K pertomred, suggest entlotracheal and/or
<br />esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must
<br />be weighetl against toxicilywhen wnsidering emptying
<br />me stomach. No apecifz; aniidofe. Treatment of ex-
<br />posure should be directed at the contol of symptoms
<br />and the clinical wndkion of the patient
