SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
NOTE: Please refer to Section 11 for detailed toxicological information.
Emergency Overview Danger! Combustible liquid.
Physical State liquid
Odor Aromatic
Appearance Dark brownish
Routes of Exposure Skin absorption and mist or vapor inhalation.
Immediate Effects
Eye Corrosive - causes irreversible eye damage.
Skin A moderate skin irritant. Prolonged and repeated skin contact may defat the skin
resulting in possible irritation and dermitis.
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of sublethal doses causes muscle weakness,
tremors, diarrhea and/or weight loss.
Inhalation Overexposure to vapor may cause respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, and
loss of consciousness.
Chronic or Delayed Diclofop-Methyl has been shown to induce liver tumors in laboratory rodents.
Long-Term However, when used as directed, the potential oncogenic risk to humans is
considered to be negligble.
Signs and Symptoms Overexposure by vapor inhalation or oral ingestion can cause irritation to
mucous membranes, severe gastrointestinal irritation, dizziness, nausea,
narcosis and related central nervous system effects, muscle weakness, tremors,
diarrhea and/or weight loss. Refer to Section 11 for data from animal studies.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention.
Skin Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Contains petroleum distillates. If swallowed, call a
physician who may induce vomiting. Vomiting should be supervised by a
physician because of the possible pulmonary damage via aspiration of the
solvent. If possible, bring container and labeling to the attending physician.
Inhalation Consult a physician if irritation of the respiratory passages occurs.
Note to Physician Aspiration hazard may contradicate the use of gastric lavage.

Acute Oral Toxicity Male Rat: LD50: 2,176 mg/kg
Female Rat: LD50: 2,029 mg/kg
Moderately toxic, Harmful if swallowed.
Acute Dermal Toxicity Rat: LD50: 5,000 mg/kg
Slightly toxic, Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity Rat: LC50: 8.2 mg/l 4 h
Low toxicity
Skin Irritation A moderate skin irritant.
Eye Irritation Corrosive - causes irreversible eye damage.
Chronic Toxicity Diclofop-methyl: An increased incidence of liver tumors was noted in long-term
feeding studies in mice and in a preliminary evaluation of the data from a
recently completed long-term study in rats. However, diclofop-methyl is not
genotoxic and these tumors are believed to be associated with the known
induction of peroxisomal proliferation by diclofop-methyl. Rodents are known to
be substantially more sensitive than primates to peroxisomal proliferation. In
addition, the dose levels at which the tumors were noted were far in excess of
those to which humans would be exposed and, in the rat study, may have
exceeded the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). Thus, when used as directed,
the potential oncogenic risks to humans resulting from the use of diclofop-methyl
is considered to be negligible.

Reproductive & Diclofop-methyl was administered to rats at concentrations of 10, 30, and 100
Developmental Toxicity ppm. There was no effect on mating performance or fertility at any concentration.
At 100 ppm, however, there was a reduced number of pups born alive, reduced
pup weights and general retardation of physical development. The NOEL for
reproduction and fertility is considered to be 30 PPM (approx. 2.3 mg/kg
bw/day). Cyclohexanone (an inert ingredient < 11%) has been reported to cause
reproductive effects by inhalation in the rat.
Teratogenicity Teratology studies in rats and rabbits with diclofop-methyl, have shown no
embryotoxic or fetotoxic effects at maternally non-toxic doses.
Mutagenicity Diclofop-methyl: No indication of genotoxicity was noted in an extensive battery
of in-vivo and in-vitro studies.
Cyclohexanone has been reported to cause cell mutation in-vitro.
SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental This product is toxic to fish. Use with care when applying in areas adjacent to
Precautions any body of water. Keep out of lakes, streams, ponds, drainage basins, tidal
marshes, and estuaries. Do not apply directly to water. Do not apply when
weather conditions favor runoff or drift. Avoid direct application or drift of spray
material to water surfaces. Do not apply within 100 feet of an aquatic habitat. Do
not contaminate arable land and/or water when disposing of equipment
washwaters.
SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
General Disposal Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess
Guidance pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law. If these wastes
cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State
Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste
representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
Container Disposal Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture
and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by state
and local authorities.
