treatment information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammable Properties
Not a fire or explosion hazard.
LEL is 0.1 - 0.23 g/L
Minimum ignition energy is >1 joules
Like most organic powders or crystals, under severe dusting
conditions, this material may form explosive mixtures in air.
Extinguishing Media
Water Spray, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Evacuate personnel to a safe area. Keep personnel removed and
upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear
full protective equipment. Runoff from fire control may be a
pollution hazard.
If area is heavily exposed to fire and if conditions permit,
let fire burn itself out since water may increase the
contamination hazard.

Material Safety Data Sheet
(TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION - Continued)
Based on data from components, this product is not a skin
or eye irritant, but is a skin sensitizer in animals.
THIFENSULFURON MEHYL
Repeated ingestion exposures to Thifensulfuron Methyl
caused decreased body weight and organ weight changes, and
some blood chemistry changes, including increased blood
urea nitrogen and decreased protein and globulins. Long-
term exposures caused an increase in liver weights,
decreased body weight gain, and a decreased level of sodium
in the blood when compared to the control group.
No carcinogenic effects were observed in animal tests with
Thifensulfuron Methyl. Animal data show developmental
effects only at exposure levels producing toxic effects in
the adult animal. Tests in animals demonstrate no
reproductive toxicity. Thifensulfuron Methyl does not
produce genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell
cultures or animals.
TRIBENURON METHYL
Repeated ingestion of high doses of Tribenuron Methyl caused
body weight loss, increased liver and thyroid/parathyroid
weights, altered clinical chemical parameters, but no
significant gross or microscopic treatment related effects
were noted. Long-term dosing caused body weight loss,
alteration in clinical chemical parameters, and testicular
atrophy (considered to be biologically insignificant).
Tribenuron Methyl produced an increased incidence of mammary
tumors in female rats at dose levels also producing other
significant effects. Developmental effects occurred in the
rat, but only at a dose also toxic to the dam. No
reproductive effects were observed in rats. Tribenuron
Methyl did not produce genetic damage in bacterial or
mammalian cell cultures or in animals.
