are as follows:
Constituent: OSHA/PEL ACGIH
Thiophanate-methyl None None
Mancozeb 5 mg/m3 5 mg/m3
Engineering Controls None required for routine outdoor use. A local exhaust system which
captures the contaminant at its source is recommended to prevent
dispersion of the contaminant in enclosed spaces.
Personal Protection After eating and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands arms
and face thoroughly with soap and water. Applicators and handlers
should wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, waterproof gloves and
protective eyewear. If working in enclosed areas, a respirator with

insecticides, herbicides or fertilisers.
Spills and Disposal Sweep up spilled material and return to the original container or to a
well marked drum. Clean-up personnel require protective clothing and
respiratory protection. Avoid dusting or misting conditions during
clean-up. After cleaning up spill, flush area with water, taking care
that washings do not enter sewers, drains or other waterways. Triple
or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings
to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Break,
crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority land-
fill. If no land-fill is available bury the container below 500 mm in a
disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of
waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and
product should not be burnt. Wash contaminated equipment taking
