not give anything to an unconscious person.
IF IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with
water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present,
after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call
a poison control center or doctor for further treatment
advice.
IF ON SKIN: No specific intervention is indicated, as the
product is not likely to be hazardous by dermal exposure.
Consult a physician if necessary.
IF INHALED: No specific intervention is indicated as the
product is not likely to be hazardous by inhalation.
Consult a physician if necessary.
Have the product container or label with you when calling
a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flammable Properties
The material poses no explosion hazard in granular form.
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
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use water spray. Cool
tank/container with water spray.
If area is heavily exposed to fire and if conditions permit,
let fire burn itself out since water may increase the area
contaminated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Safeguards (Personnel)
NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL)
sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Emergency Response - Chemical resistant coveralls,
waterproof gloves, waterproof boots and face/eye protection.
If dusting occurs, use NIOSH approved respirator protection.
Initial Containment
Dike spill. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or
low areas.
Spill Clean Up
Shovel or sweep up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling (Personnel)
USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
using tobacco or using the toilet.

Storage
Store product in original container only. Do not contaminate
water, other pesticides, fertilizer, food or feed in storage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a
manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides
[40 CFR part 170 Section 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the
WPS.
IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system
is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified
for "Applicators and Other Handlers" and have such PPE
immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a
spill or equipment breakdown.
Personal Protective Equipment
Some materials that are chemical resistant to this product
are listed below. If you want more options, follow the
instructions for Category A on an EPA chemical-resistance
category selection chart.
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
- Long-sleeved shirt and long pants.
- Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride.
- Shoes plus socks.
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have
been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product.
Follow manufacturer鈥檚 instructions for cleaning/maintaining
PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent
and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other
laundry.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is
permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that
involves contact with anything that has been treated, such
as plants, soil or water is:
- Coveralls.
- Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material.
- Shoes Plus Socks.

Animal Data
Telar XP Herbicide
Oral LD50: > 2000 mg/kg in rats

(Slightly toxic)
Telar XP Herbicide is a mild reversible skin irritant, and a
very mild eye irritant, and is not a skin sensitizer in
animals.
Chlorsulfuron

Material Safety Data Sheet
(TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION - Continued)
Inhalation 4 hour LC50: > 5.5 mg/L in rats
(Very low toxicity by inhalation)
Toxicity described in animals from the oral administration
of a single dose of Chlorsulfuron include lung changes,
weakness and other nonspecific effects.
The effects in animals from repeated exposures by inhalation
to Chlorsulfuron include decreased weight gain, reversible
kidney and spleen effects, and bone marrow changes.
Repeated oral dosing caused decreased weight gain, and
hematological and clinical chemical changes. Long-term
dosing resulted in decreased body weight gain and slight
hematological changes.
Animal testing indicates that Chlorsulfuron, the active
ingredient, did not show carcinogenic or reproductive
effects. Developmental toxicity has been observed but only
at maternally toxic dose levels.
Chlorsulfuron did not produce genetic damage in bacterial or
mammalian cell cultures. It did not produce heritable
genetic damage.

(DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS - Continued)
Container Disposal
For Plastic Containers: Triple rinse (or equivalent) the
container. Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or
puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by
incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities,
by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.

tapping sides and bottom to loosen clinging particles.
Empty residue into application equipment. Dispose of bags
at an approved waste disposal facility, in accordance with
Federal, state, and local regulations.
For Fiber Drums with Liners: Completely empty fiber sack by
shaking and tapping sides and bottom to loosen clinging
particles. Empty residue into application equipment. Then
dispose of liner in a sanitary landfill or by incineration
if allowed by state and local authorities. If drum is
contaminated and cannot be reused, dispose of in the same
manner.
For Bags Containing Water-Soluble Packets: Do not reuse
the outer box or the resealable plastic bag. When all
water-soluble packets are used, the outer packaging should
be cleaned and may be disposed of in a sanitary landfill or
by incineration, or if allowed by state and local
authorities, by open burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
If the resealable plastic bag contacts the formulated
product in any way, the bag must be triple-rinsed with clean
water. Add the rinsate to the spray tank and dispose of the
outer wrap as described above.
