HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Emergency Overview
CAUTION!
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Causes moderate eye irritation. Harmful if swallowed,
inhaled, or absorbed through skin. Avoid breathing dust,
vapor or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling.
Potential Health Effects
Based on animal tests, eye contact with Canopy XL may cause eye
irritation with tearing, pain, or blurred vision.
Skin contact with Canopy XL may cause irritation of the skin with
itching, redness or rash. Skin permeation may occur from Toluene
in amounts capable of producing systemic toxicity.
Based on animal tests, repeated or excessive overexposure to
Canopy XL by ingestion may cause abnormal liver function with
altered enzyme levels in blood, or red blood cell destruction with
anemia.
Ingestion of Toluene may cause irritation of the digestive tract
with stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea;
however there may be no symptoms at all. The major ingestion
hazard is aspiration (liquid entering the lungs during ingestion
or vomiting) which may result in "chemical pneumonia". Symptoms
include coughing, gasping, choking, shortness of breath, bluish
discoloration of the skin, rapid breathing and heart rate, and
fever. Pulmonary edema or bleeding, drowsiness, confusion, coma
and seizures may occur in more serious cases. Symptoms may
develop immediately or as late as 24 hours after exposure,
depending on how much chemical entered the lungs.
Repeated and/or prolonged inhalation or ingestion exposure to
Toluene may cause abnormal liver or kidney function with altered
results on blood tests; irregular heart beat with a strange
sensation in the chest, "heart thumping", apprehension,
lightheadedness, feeling of fainting, dizziness, weakness,
sometimes progressing to loss of consciousness and death; low
blood pressure; and fatality from gross overexposure.
M0000380 DuPont Page 3
Material Safety Data Sheet
(HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION - Continued)
Inhalation exposure to Toluene may cause irritation of the nose
and throat with sneezing, sore throat or runny nose, headache,
nausea and weakness; and central nervous system depression with
dizziness, confusion, incoordination drowsiness or unconsciousness.
Increased susceptibility to the effects of overexposure to Canopy
XL may be observed in persons with pre-existing disease of the
liver, or hematological system.
Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as a carcinogen.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Animal Data
Canopy XL
Oral LD50: 3297 mg/kg in rats
(Slightly toxic)
Inhalation LC50: > 6.18 mg/L
(Very low toxicity)
Canopy XL is a mild eye irritant in animal tests.
CHLORIMURON ETHYL
Repeated applications of Chlorimuron Ethyl to the skin of rabbits
for 21 days at doses of 100, 400, or 1000 mg/kg resulted in no
significant toxicological effects. The NOEL for the study was
1000 mg/kg.
Repeated ingestion of Chlorimuron Ethyl by rats caused liver
effects, anemia, and decreased body weight. Long-term ingestion
exposure caused anemia, increased liver weight, altered clinical
chemistry, and decreased body weight at the higher exposure levels.
In animal testing Chlorimuron Ethyl has not caused
carcinogenicity. Exposure of pregnant rabbits caused
developmental delays in the fetus at maternally toxic doses.
However, studies in rats produced no evidence of developmental
toxicity. Reproductive data in rats show nutritional and organ
effects in offspring only at levels which produce other toxic
effects in the adult animal. There were no effects on fertility
or lactation indices in rats. Tests have shown that Chlorimuron
Ethyl does not cause genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell
cultures, or in animals.
SULFENTRAZONE
M0000380 DuPont Page 8
Material Safety Data Sheet
(TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION - Continued)
Repeated dosing with Sulfentrazone by ingestion produced altered
hematology, tremors, increased spleen and liver weights, and
microscopic liver changes.
Sulfentrazone did not produce any deaths from inhalation exposure
to 4.13 mg/L of its dust.
In animal testing Sulfentrazone did not cause carcinogenicity.
Exposure of pregnant rats to Sulfentrazone produced developmental
effects including reduced fetal body weights, delayed skeletal
ossification, bone abnormalities, and increased resorptions. The
maternal and fetal NOAELs via oral administration are 25 and 10
mg/kg/day, respectively. The maternal and fetal NOAELs for dermal
administration were >250 and 100 mg/kg/day, respectively. Oral
administration to rabbits resulted in developmental effects at
maternally toxic doses, 250 and 375 mg/kg/day. The maternal and
fetal NOAEL was 100 mg/kg/day. Reproductive tests show decreased
litter size, decrease in growth and survival of offspring, and
decrease in male fertility and histopathological changes of the
male reproductive organs.
Tests in bacterial and mammalian cell cultures are generally
negative.
TOLUENE
Single dermal exposure to Toluene caused inflammation of the
lungs, liver, and kidneys and reduced sperm count. Reduced sperm
counts were not evident from other studies with varying
concentrations and different routes of exposure.
Single ingestion exposure to high doses of Toluene caused reduced
weight gain and non-specific effects such as malaise.
Single inhalation exposure to Toluene caused excessive activity;
incoordination; and inactivity or anaesthesia. Repeated exposure
to higher concentrations caused excessive activity; inactivity or
anaesthesia; decreased response to sound; hypothermia;
histopathological changes of the respiratory tract; and increased
liver and kidney weight. Long-term exposure caused
histopathological changes of the respiratory tract; decreased body
weight; and increased liver weight.
One published study reports limited data suggesting long-term
ingestion of 500 mg/kg of Toluene caused increased malignant
tumors in rats. Other more extensive inhalation studies
demonstrated no carcinogenic effects in animals. Animal data show
developmental effects only at exposure levels producing other
toxic effects in the adult animal. Reproductive data on rats
exposed to Toluene show no change in reproductive performance.
Repeated exposure to high doses caused decreased litter weight.
Tests have shown that Toluene does not cause genetic damage in
bacterial or mammalian cell cultures. It has produced genetic
damage in tests on animals. In animal testing, Toluene has not
M0000380 DuPont Page 9

(TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION - Continued)
caused permanent genetic damage in reproductive cells of mammals
(has not produced heritable genetic damage).
