3. HEALTH HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Acute Effects:
Swallowed:
The active ingredient in the concentrate is of low toxicity. However,
the solvent can be of concern if vomiting has occurred; aspiration of
the vomit into the lungs can cause mild to severe pulmonary injury
and possibly death.
Inhalation:
High vapor concentrations of the solvent while handling the
concentrate are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, may
cause headaches and dizziness, can be anaesthetic and may have
other central nervous system effects. Avoid working in, or inhaling
spray mist.
Eye:
The concentrate may cause irritation and pain, but no serious
damage is expected.
Skin:
The concentrate is not considered a serious toxic hazard. Prolonged
or repeated contact with the concentrate can cause defatting of the
skin leading to secondary dermatitis.
Chronic Effects:
No chronic effects of trifluralin exposure have been documented in
the literature over many years of use.
Other Health Hazard Information:
Trifluralin is colored and will strongly stain skin and clothing. If skin
has been exposed to the product, through washing with soap and
water will remove any excess product. The color on the skin is not
deep and will naturally disappear over a few days.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL MEASURES
Exposure Standards:
No exposure limits have been set for this product.
The supplier of the solvent has set a company limit of 100ppm TWA
for the solvent.
Engineering Controls:
Natural ventilation only required. When handling the concentrate in
confined spaces it is advisable to use some forced ventilation to
avoid building-up of solvent vapours that may make working
conditions unpleasent
Personnel Protection:
Avoid contact of product with eyes or skin. When preparing product
for use, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the wrist and neck,
washable hat, elbow length PVC gloves and fact shield. After use
and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face
thoroughly with soap and water. After each days use, wash
contaminated clothing, gloves and face shield. Wash concentrate
from skin and eyes immediately. Avoid working in and breathing

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity Data:
Store away from strong oxidizing agents, may react violently.
Polymerization is not possible.
Prolonged reaction with water can cause slow decomposition and
the formation of acid which may attack drums. If a part open drums
is to be stored, ensure that no water has been added to the drum.
11. TOXICITY DATA
Trifluralin Technical
Acute LD50 oral, rat <10,000 mg/Kg
Acute LD50 oral mouse 5,000 mg/Kg
In 2 year feeding trails, rats receiving 2000 mg/Kg diet and dogs at
1000 mg/Kg diet suffered no ill effects.
An impurity di-n-propylnitrosamine, a known carcinogen, present in
crude trifluralin at about 80 鈥? 100 ppm. Experimentation with
trifluralin on mice and rats given high doses of material containing 1
ppm or less of di-n-propylnitrosamine have not shown any tumor
formation. Daily doses for rats were 202 鈥? 392 mg/Kg/day and for
mice 256 鈥? 664 mg/Kg/day. Thus trifluralin itself is considered to be
non carcinogenic. Trifluralin (technical) used is manufactured to
comply with a maximum limit of 0.5 ppm di-n-propylnitrosamine.
Generally, the levels are not detectable at a detection limit of.2 ppm
Toxicity to fish:
LC50 (96 hrs) for bluegill fingerlings is 0.089 mg/L
Acceptable Intack (ADI) of trifluralin for a human is 0.02 mg/kg/day,
set for the public for daily, lifetime exposure. This is based on the
NOEL of 2.5 mg/kg/day, the level determined to show no effects
during long term exposure for most sensitive indicators and the
most sensitive species.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Trifluralin Technical
Effects on birds
Trifluralin is practically nontoxic to birds The LD50 in bobwhite quail
is greater than 2000 mg/kg, as it is in female mallards and
pheasants. These values are for the technical product.
Effects on aquatic organisms
Trifluralin is very highly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms
Effects on other organisms:
At exposure levels well above permissible application rates (100
mg/kg), trifluralin has been shown to be toxic to earthworms.
However, permitted application rates will result in soil residues of
approximately 1 ppm trifluralin, a level that had no adverse effects
on earthworms. It is nontoxic to bees
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Spills and Disposal:
Contain spill and absorb with sand or other solid absorbent. Collect
in sealed open-top containers for disposal. Prevent from entering
drains, sewers, waterways.
Triple rinse empty containers and add rinstate to spray tank.
Puncture top, sides and bottom and dispose of in landfill in
accordance with local regulations. On-site disposal of the
concentrate is not acceptable.
