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. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and persists.
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 has low oral, dermal and inhalation
toxicity. It is non-irritating to the eyes and mildly irritating to the skin. 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: Slightly combustible. This material 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: Isolate and post spill area. 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.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Large spills should be covered to prevent
dispersal. For dry material, use a wet sweeping compound or water to prevent the formation of dust. If
water is used, prevent runoff or dispersion of excess liquid by diking and absorbing with a non-combustible
absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump all waste material, including absorbent, into
a drum and label contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with a solution of soap and water and add the
solution to the drums of waste already collected. Dispose of drummed waste according to the method
outlined 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 exposure 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 or using tobacco. Shower at the end of the
workday.

Page 4 of 7
SULFLURAMID TECHNICAL INSECTICIDE (4151-50-2) Date: 08/31/2004
laboratory animals included nasal discharge, decreased food consumption, emaciation, lethargy and
increased salivation.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: 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.

OTHER: (ACGIH) Not listed
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
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.
If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards
and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory
requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers that held this material should be cleaned,
prior to disposal, by triple-rinsing. Containers which held this material may be cleaned by being triple-
rinsed, and recycled, with the rinsate being incinerated.
