| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN IF
IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER.
CALL A PHYSICIAN IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING PRIOR TO
RE-USE.
INHALATION:
REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR. KEEP PERSON CALM. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN. CALL A
PHYSICIAN.

DRINK 1 OR 2 GLASSES OF WATER. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. IF ANY DISCOMFORT PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS:
THIS PRODUCT HAS LOW ORAL AND DERMAL TOXICITY, AND IS NON-IRRITATING TO THE
EYES AND SKIN. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS A GRANULAR MATERIAL (SAND) THAT MAY
CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION TO THE EYES. REVERSIBLE SKIN SENSATIONS
(PARESTHESIA) MAY OCCUR AND ORDINARY SKIN SALVES HAVE BEEN FOUND USEFUL IN
REDUCING DISCOMFORT. TREATMENT IS OTHERWISE CONTROLLED REMOVAL OF EXPOSURE
FOLLOWED BY SYMPTOMATIC AND SUPPORTIVE CARE.

PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION: OXIDES OF CARBON, HYDROGEN CHLORIDE, HYDROGEN
FLUORIDE
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: NONE KNOWN.
PROTECTION OF FIRE-FIGHTERS:
FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR SELF-CONTAINED, NIOSH-APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS
FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SUFFOCATION AND POSSIBLE TOXIC DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS. PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED. USE WATER SPRAY
TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL AND TO KNOCK DOWN VAPORS WHICH MAY
RESULT FROM PRODUCT DECOMPOSITION.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: USE PERSONAL PROTECTION RECOMMENDED IN SECTION 8.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
HIGHLY TOXIC TO FISH AND AQUATIC ORGANISMS. TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT
CONTAMINATION OF GROUND AND SURFACE WATERS. DO NOT FLUSH INTO SEWERS OR
STORM DRAINS. LARGE SPILLS SHOULD BE COVERED TO PREVENT WIND DISPERSAL.
METHODS FOR CONTAINMENT & CLEAN-UP:
FOR DRY MATERIAL, USE A WET SWEEPING COMPOUND OR WATER TO PREVENT THE
FORMATION OF DUST. IF WATER IS USED, PREVENT RUNOFF OR DISPERSION OF EXCESS
LIQUID BY DIKING AND ABSORBING WITH A NON-COMBUSTIBLE ABSORBENT SUCH AS
CLAY, SAND OR SOIL. VACUUM, SHOVEL OR PUMP ALL WATER MATERIAL, INCLUDING
ABSORBENT, INTO A DRUM AND LABEL CONTENTS FOR DISPOSAL. TO CLEAN AND
NEUTRALIZE SPILL AREA, TOOLS, AND EQUIPMENT, WASH WITH A SUITABLE SOLUTION
OF CAUSTIC OR SODA ASH AND AN APPROPRIATE ALCOHOL. FOLLOW THIS BY WASHING
WITH A STRONG SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. ABSORB ANY EXCESS LIQUID AS DESCRIBED
ABOVE.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PROCEDURES:
DO NOT USE NEAR HEAT OR OPEN FLAMES. DO NOT CONTAMINATE OTHER PESTICIDES,
FERTILIZERS, WATER OR FOOD. USE GLOVES WHILE HANDLING. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY

APPLICABLE OSHA REGULATIONS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
FOR DUST EXPOSURE, WEAR, AS A MINIMUM, A PROPERLY FITTED HALF-FACE OR
FULL-FACE AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR, WHICH IS APPROVED FOR PESTICIDES.
RESPIRATOR USE AND SELECTION MUST BE BASED ON AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
FOR DUST EXPOSURE, WEAR CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE GOGGLES, FACE SHIELD OR SAFETY
GLASSES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
USE PROTECTIVE GLOVES SUCH AS RUBBER OR NEOPRENE. THOROUGHLY WASH THE
OUTSIDE OF GLOVES WITH SOAP AND WATER PRIOR TO REMOVAL. ALSO, USE FULL
