5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, foam, carbon dioxide (CO2)
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: high volume water jet (contamination
risk)
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Specific methods: (on small fires) If area is heavily exposed to fire and if conditions permit, let
fire burn itself out since water may increase the area contaminated. Cool containers / tanks with spray
water.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Use personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up: Clean up promptly by scoop or vacuum. Use approved industrial vacuum cleaner
for removal. Shovel into suitable container for disposal. If spill area is on ground near valuable
plants or trees, remove 5 cm of top soil after initial clean-up.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Technical measures/Precautions: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.
Safe handling advice: Use personal protective equipment. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Storage
Technical measures/Storage conditions: Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and
well-ventilated place. Keep at temperatures below 50 掳C. Store in a place accessible by authorized
persons only.
Incompatible products: humid air and water.
Packaging material: No materials to be specially mentioned.
Further information: Keep out of reach of children.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering measures: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Control parameters:
Tribenuron methyl; DuPont鈥檚 acceptable exposure limit: AEL(8-h TWA) = 1 mg/m3; DuPont(1999)
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: respirator with P1 filter.
Eye protection: tightly fitting safety goggles or face-shield.
Hand protection: protective gloves.
Hygiene measures: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Keep away from
food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Remove and wash
contaminated clothing before re-use.
