AUTHORITY鈩? FIRST DF HERBICIDE (F18-25-7) Date: 12/06/2007
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists,
contact a medical doctor.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product has low oral, dermal and inhalation
toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes and slightly irritating to the skin. This product contains a
granular material (clay) that may cause mechanical irritation to the eyes. This product also contains toluene
which can produce a severe pneumonitis if aspirated during vomiting. Consideration should be given to
gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in place. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure
followed by symptomatic and supportive care.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Slightly combustible. May support combustion at
elevated temperatures. Finely dispersed particles can form explosive mixtures in air.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective
equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons
and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Large spills should be covered to prevent
dispersal. 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 waste 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 (i.e., methanol, ethanol or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong
soap and water solution. Absorb, as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste already
collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13,
"Disposal Considerations".

process locations where dust may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For dust exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or
full-face air-purifying respirator, which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN
or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne
concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear
coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work
clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as butyl rubber, nitrile or
neoprene. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect
regularly for leaks.

EYE EFFECTS: Minimally irritating (rabbit)
Page 5 of 11
AUTHORITY鈩? FIRST DF HERBICIDE (F18-25-7) Date: 12/06/2007
SKIN EFFECTS: Slightly irritating (rabbit)
DERMAL LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ORAL LD50: 2,504 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: > 4.9 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
SENSITIZATION: This product was non-sensitizing to the skin in laboratory studies.
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral, dermal
and inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes and slightly irritating to the skin. Signs of
toxicity in laboratory animals with Sulfentrazone included clonic convulsions, tremors, recumbency,
splayed limbs and decreased locomotion. Effects observed in laboratory animals after acute inhalation of
toluene included mucous membrane irritation, motor incoordination, prostration, changes in respiratory
rate, changes in serum and blood enzyme activities, elevated blood glucose and packed cell volume,
decreased body weight and death. Vomiting after ingestion of this product may cause aspiration of toluene
into the lungs, which may result in fatal pulmonary edema.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. Sulfentrazone was not carcinogenic in lifetime feeding studies with laboratory animals, nor
was it found to be mutagenic in a battery of tests. In a reproduction study, sulfentrazone produced adverse
effects on the growth and survival of the offspring, decreased male fertility and oligospermia at 25
mg/kg/day, and 35 mg/kg/day. Sulfentrazone was found to be fetotoxic in oral and dermal developmental
toxicity studies; the fetal NOELS were 10 mg/kg/day and 100 mg/kg/day, respectively. At labeled use rates
and practices of mixing and applying, expected exposure to farm workers is at least one hundred times
lower than the doses that produced effects in laboratory animals. In animal studies, Cloransulam-methyl
was not found to be carcinogenic, teratogenic or to cause reproductive effects. In-vitro and a Chronic
exposure to toluene may cause headaches, dizziness, loss of sensations or feelings (such as numbness), and
liver and kidney damage. Inhalation of toluene vapors at high doses have also resulted in an increased
incidence of malformations and decreased fetal weight in laboratory animals. Repeated overexposure to
crystalline silica for extended periods has caused acute silicosis. The International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) has classified crystalline silica, inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources, as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has
classified respirable crystalline silica (quartz, cristobalite and tridymite) as "reasonably anticipated to be
carcinogenic". The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has concluded
that silica quartz is a suspected human carcinogen (A2 - limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and
sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals with relevance to humans).

AUTHORITY鈩? FIRST DF HERBICIDE (F18-25-7) Date: 12/06/2007
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Sulfentrazone is stable in soil (half-life = 18 months). In water,
sulfentrazone is stable to hydrolysis over the pH range of 5 to 9; however, it will readily undergo photolysis
(half-life < 0.5 day). Sulfentrazone has a low affinity for organic matter (Koc = 43), but is mobile only in
soils with high sand content. The potential for sulfentrazone to bioaccumulate is very low, having a Log
Pow of 1.48, and a bioconcentration factor of 1.1 - 2.0.
Cloransulam-methyl has a measured Log Pow of 1.21. Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF <100 or Log
Pow <3).
