FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use water, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical, to
extinguish fires.
FIRE CONTROL TACTICS:
Avoid heavy hose streams; airborne dust may create an
explosion hazard.
Wear self-contained, positive pressure breathing apparatus
and full fire fighting protective clothing.
Keep unnecessary people away. Use as little water as
possible. Dike area of fire to prevent material run-off.
Use spray or fog - solid stream may cause spreading.
Do not decontaminate personnel or equipment, or handle
broken packages or containers without protective equipment
as specified in the Exposure Control Section.
Decontaminate emergency personnel with soap and water
before leaving the fire area.
Avoid breathing dusts, vapors and fumes from burning
materials. Control run-off water - if water enters a
drainage system, advise the authorities downstream.
DUST EXPLOSION DATA: This material has been tested in a
20-liter spherical bomb (per NFPA 68-1978) and has been
found to be a Class 1 dust explosion hazard. <1% of this
material passed through a 200 mesh screen for explosion
testing after being ground up. If the material is further
processed, the dust explosion hazard may change and it
should be retested.

HEALTH HAZARD TOXICITY DATA AND
INFORMATION EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
ACUTE TOXICITY DATA:
The acute oral LD<50> in both male and female rats is
greater than 5000 mg/kg indicating that this product is
practically non-toxic by ingestion in single doses.
The acute dermal LD<50> in both male and female rabbits is
greater than 2000 mg/kg indicating this product is no more
than slightly toxic by single skin applications.
This product is mildly irritating to the rabbit skin but
is not irritating to the rabbit eye.
Hydramethylnon, the active ingredient in AMDRO, is not
listed as a carcinogen by OSHA, IARC or NTP.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
: Remove to fresh air.
: Drink two glasses of water, induce
vomiting if the person is conscious. Seek medical
attention.
: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water.
Get medical attention if irritation persists.
: Flush with plenty of water. Get medical
attention if irritation occurs.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure
should be directed at the control of symptoms and the
clinical condition.
_______________________________________________________________________________
EXPOSURE During the formulation of this product, use the following
CONTROL METHODS recommended industrial hygiene practices.
Local exhaust ventilation should be used to maintain
exposure below 1.4 mg/m>3< (TWA<8>), and to control the
generation of airborne dust at points of transfer or other
points where full enclosure is not feasible.
When engineering control is not feasible and employee
exposure exceeds 1.4 mg/m>3< wear a NIOSH approved
pesticide respirator. In operations where there is a risk
of accidental exposure to eyes, wear dust proof goggles,
overalls, and gloves.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Remove contaminated clothing/equipment, wash before reuse.
For end users, use the recommended protective/equipment as
prescribed by product label.
_______________________________________________________________________________
SPILL OR LEAK Wear appropriate protective clothing and personal
PROCEDURES protective equipment. (See "Exposure Control".)
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water, and soil.
Keep all sources of ignition away from the spill, and
avoid creating dusty conditions when handling this
material. If heavy dusting cannot be avoided, ground all
equipment.
Shovel or sweep the spilled material into covered
containers for proper disposal. (See "Waste Disposal".)
If possible, reuse the material for its intended purpose.
Rinse the spill area and any tools or implements several
times with soapy water. Contain and absorb this rinsate
with inert absorbents and place into the same covered
container as the spilled material.
Spills to the soil can be shoveled directly into covered
containers for disposal. If the spill occurred to a body
of water, notify the appropriate authorities downstream of
the spill so that they can decide what if any further
action is needed.
Depending on local spill reporting requirements and the
amount released to the environment, it may be necessary to
notify the regulatory authorities.
____________________________________________________________________________
WASTE DISPOSAL: To avoid disposal, all attempts should be made to use this
product completely, in accordance with its registered use. If
this is not possible, handle with care and dispose in a safe
manner. Keep all sources of ignition away and avoid creating
dusty conditions when handling this product. If heavy dusting
cannot be avoided, ground all equipment. Empty containers or
liners may retain some product residues. DO NOT REUSE. Rinse
the container or liner as needed for disposal. Render it
unusable by crushing or puncturing. Dispose of the container
and any rinsate in a safe manner. Follow all applicable
community, national or regional regulations regarding waste
management methods.

SPECIAL HANDLING AND STORAGE:
PRECAUTIONS This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to
lakes, ponds, or streams. This product may be an
attractant to pets and rodents. Store in a secure place.
Keep pets away from treated areas for at least 24 hours
after application.
STORAGE: STORE IN A COOL, DRY, SECURE PLACE AND KEEP
CONTAINER TIGHTLY CLOSED. AMDRO is formulated in an oil
bait that functions as an attractant to ants. Prolonged
exposure to air may turn oil rancid and reduce the
attractiveness of the bait. USE WITHIN 3 MONTHS AFTER
OPENING CONTAINER.
Maintain good housekeeping to control dust accumulations.
Due to the dust explosion hazard, all processing equipment
should have explosion venting per NFPA 68-1978. All
electrical wiring and equipment should meet the provisions
of NFPA-70.
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or
disposal. Store in a secure, dry, well-ventilated
separate room, building or covered area.
Keep away from sources of ignition and protect from
exposure to fire and heat.
Segregate from oxidizers and incompatible materials listed
in the Reactivity Data Section.
