Section 2 - Hazards Identification

Statement of Hazardous Nature

This product is classified as: Hazardous according to the criteria of NOHSC Australia.

Not a Dangerous Good according to the Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code.

Risk Phrases: R40/22, R40. Harmful: possible risk of irreversible effects if swallowed.

Possible risk of irreversible effects.

Safety Phrases: S20, S45. When using, do not eat or drink. In case of accident or if you

feel unwell, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre immediately (show the label

where possible).

SUSDP Classification: S7

ADG Classification: None allocated. Not a Dangerous Good.

UN Number: None allocated

                                  Emergency Overview

Physical Description & Colour: Natural or green coloured grain

Odour: No distinct odour.

Major Health Hazards: may cause irreversible effects, harmful if swallowed.

                                Potential Health Effects

In poisoned birds, small doses cause involuntary contractions, resulting in distress calls which

frighten away others. In rats, dogs and horses, the symptoms of intoxication include

hyperexcitability, salivation and tremors progressing to clonic and tonic convulsions. The

active ingredient has a strong excitability effect on the central nervous system, probably by

enhancing cholinergic transmission.

The acute effects on humans is not reported. However, it is likely to cause distress if taken in

large quantities. It is unlikely to cause major problems if used in the intended manner. Read

labels carefully prior to use.

Inhalation

Short Term Exposure: Significant inhalation exposure is considered to be unlikely. Long

term inhalation of high amounts of any nuisance dust may overload lung clearance

mechanism. Available data indicates that this product is not harmful. However product may be

mildly irritating, although unlikely to cause anything more than mild transient discomfort.

Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term inhalation.

Skin Contact:

Short Term Exposure: Available data indicates that this product is not harmful. It should

present no hazards in normal use. However product may be mildly irritating, but is unlikely to

cause anything more than mild discomfort which should disappear once contact ceases.

Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term skin exposure.

Eye Contact:

Short Term Exposure: Exposure via eyes is considered to be unlikely. This product may

be irritating to eyes, but is unlikely to cause anything more than mild transient discomfort.

Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure.

Ingestion:

Short Term Exposure: Significant oral exposure is considered to be unlikely. Available

data shows that this product is harmful, but symptoms are not available. This product is

unlikely to cause any irritation problems in the short or long term.

Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term ingestion.

Carcinogen Status:

NOHSC: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NOHSC.

NTP: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NTP.

IARC: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by IARC.

Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients

Ingredients                                                  CAS No    Conc,%                    TWA

(mg/m3)                                                      STEL (mg/m3)

4-Amino pyridine (present as hydrochloride salt) 504-24-5        0.5            not set                          not set

Grain (usually wheat but may be other type)        not set       to 100         not set                          not set

This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor

quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are also possible.

The TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a

normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value

that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for more than 4 times per day.

There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the

TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly.



Section 4 - First Aid Measures

General Information:

You should call The Poisons Information Centre if you feel that you may have been poisoned,

burned or irritated by this product. The number is 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia (0800

764 766 in New Zealand) and is available at all times. Have this MSDS with you when you

call.

Inhalation: No first aid measures normally required. However, if inhalation has occurred,

and irritation has developed, remove to fresh air and observe until recovered. If irritation

becomes painful or persists more than about 30 minutes, seek medical advice.

Skin Contact: Irritation is unlikely. However, if irritation does occur, flush with lukewarm,

gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until chemical is removed. If in doubt obtain medical

advice.

Eye Contact: No effects expected. If irritation does occur, flush contaminated eye(s) with

lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until the product is removed. Obtain medical

advice if irritation becomes painful or lasts more than a few minutes.

Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Wash mouth with water and contact a

Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor.



Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

Fire and Explosion Hazards: There is no risk of an explosion from this product under

normal circumstances if it is involved in a fire.

Fire decomposition products from this product may be toxic if inhaled. Take appropriate

protective measures.

Extinguishing Media: Preferred extinguishing media are carbon dioxide, dry chemical,

foam, water fog.

Fire Fighting: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade.

Flash point:                     Not flammable.

Upper Flammability Limit:         No data.

Lower Flammability Limit:         No data.

Autoignition temperature:         No data.

Flammability Class:               No data.



Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or

water courses. As a minimum, wear overalls, goggles and gloves. Suitable materials for

protective clothing include rubber, PVC. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a

minimum, protective glasses and, preferably, goggles. If there is a significant chance that

dusts are likely to build up in cleanup area, we recommend that you use a suitable Dust

Mask. Use a P1 mask, designed for use against mechanically generated particles eg silica &

asbestos. Otherwise, not normally necessary.

Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable

product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Consider

vacuuming if appropriate. Recycle containers wherever possible after careful cleaning. Refer

to product label for specific instructions. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering

drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services. Full

details regarding disposal of used containers, spillage and unused material may be found on

the label. If there is any conflict between this MSDS and the label, instructions on the label

prevail. Ensure legality of disposal by consulting regulations prior to disposal. Thoroughly

launder protective clothing before storage or re-use. Advise laundry of nature of

contamination when sending contaminated clothing to laundry.
