5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: CO2, Dry Chemical, Foam, Water Fog.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Normal combustion forms carbon dioxide, water vapor and may produce oxides of
nitrogen. Incomplete combustion can produce carbon monoxide.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Smoke from fires involving this material may present unusual hazards. Avoid breathing smoke
and mists. Avoid contact with fallout and runoff. Minimize the amount of water used for fire fighting. Do not enter any enclosed area
without full protective equipment, including self-contained breathing equipment. Contain and isolate runoff and debris for proper
disposal. Read the entire document.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Soak up spilled material with paper towels and discard in trash.
LARGE SPILL: Dike or contain release. Collect material into drums. Absorb with sand, or other inert materials. Clean spill area of
residues and absorbent.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Keep pesticide in original container. Do not put concentrate or diluted product into food or drink
containers. Store in a secure, preferably locked, storage area. Protect container from freezing.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: No special ventilation is normally required. However, if operating conditions create airborne
concentrations which exceed the recommended exposure standards (in Section 8), then special ventilation may be required.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYES AND FACE: For application of product in accordance with label instructions, no special eye protection is needed. Workers
involved in product manufacture should wear appropriate eye/face protection during operations where there is a potential for
exposure.
SKIN: Wear protective clothing when handling or applying this product including long pants, long sleeved shirt, socks, shoes, and
chemical resistant gloves. Wash nondisposable gloves throughly with soap and water before removing. Remove contaminated
clothing and launder separately before reuse. Promptly and throughly wash hands and exposed skin with soap and water after
using this product.
RESPIRATORY: Handling of the undiluted product is not likely to present an airborne exposure concern under normal use
conditions. In the event of an accidential discharge of the material during manufacture or handling which produces a heavy vapor
or mist, workers should use respiratory protection equipment. Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type of
equipment. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH MSHA or the manufacturer. For application of product diluted
in accordance with label instructions, no special respiratory protection is required. Read and follow label precautions.

CARCINOGENICITY:
CARCINOGENICITY COMMENTS: Based on the results of animal toxicology studies, epidemological investigations and
findings from scientific review groups, 2,4-D is not considered to be a carcinogen. The EPA has classed 2,4-D in carcinogenic
category "D" meaning the weight of the scientific evidence does not demonstrate a cause and effect relationship betweeen 2,4-D
and cancer.
NEUROTOXICITY: Numerous neurotoxicity studies involving several species, using high dose and repeated administration of 2,4-
D, failed to demonstrate any clinically or histological evidence that the chemical is a neurotoxin.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXIN: 2,4-D has not demostrated adverse reproductive effects or to have been associated with any teratological
or birth defects.
MUTAGENICITY: 2,4-D is not considered a mutagen.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may adversely affect
aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. Do not apply directly to water. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment
washwaters.
