4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and persists.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
INGESTION: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. If any discomfort persists, obtain medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, obtain
medical attention.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product is expected to have low oral, dermal and
inhalation toxicity. It is expected to be practically non-irritating to the skin and eyes. Treatment is
otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustible. May support combustion at elevated
temperatures.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Wear protective clothing and personal protective equipment as prescribed in
Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons and animals out of the area.
To clean spill area, wash with a solution of soap and water. Sweep or scrape up material, place it into a
container, and label contents. Dispose of containerized wastes according to the method given in Section 13,
"Disposal Considerations".
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or
store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children
and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where dust may be
emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For dust exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or
full-face air-purifying respirator, which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN
or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne
concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear
coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work
clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as rubber, neoprene or
nitrile. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect
regularly for leaks.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of
eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Shower at
the end of the workday.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE EFFECTS: Expected to be practically non-irritating.
SKIN EFFECTS: Expected to be practically non-irritating.
DERMAL LD50: > 2,000 mg/kg (rat)
ORAL LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: Sulfluramid: > 4.4 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
SENSITIZATION: A similarly-formulated product produces moderate skin sensitization in
laboratory animals, and may produce similar effects in humans.
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product is expected to have low
oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity. It is expected to be practically non-irritating to the skin and eyes. Large
doses of a similarly-formulated product, administered to laboratory animals, have produced symptoms such
as diarrhea and abdominogenital staining.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In a battery of tests, sulfluramid was shown to be non-mutagenic. Sulfluramid was shown to
be non-teratogenic in developmental toxicity studies with laboratory animals. Preliminary studies in dogs
suggest that the ingestion of high doses for prolonged periods may arrest spermatogenesis.

COMMENTS:
The data presented above are for a similarly-formulated product, or for the active ingredient, as noted.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Sulfluramid has a Log Pow of >6.85, is considered immobile in
soil, and is unlikely to enter groundwater.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Sulfluramid is considered slightly toxic to
fish and aquatic arthropods (LC50 values >6.6 - 10 mg/L). The toxicity to birds is considered moderate by
single oral exposure, but high when the exposure is via the diet. The oral LD50 in bobwhite quail is 474
mg/kg, while the dietary LC50 is 300 ppm. The dietary LC50 in the mallard is 165 ppm.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited.
Empty containers can be disposed of with ordinary household trash, as per label recommendations.
EMPTY CONTAINER: For larger quantities, as in the case of spills, the preferred method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national laws and regulations. If this method is
not available, then dispose of empty container in a sanitary landfill. However, because acceptable methods
of disposal may vary by location, and regulatory requirements may change, contact the appropriate
regulatory authority prior to disposal.
