11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicology No harmful effects are expected if the precautions on the label and this MSDS
are followed.
Information
Inhalation May cause irritation to mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Ingestion Amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling procedures and use are not
expected to cause injury.
However, swallowing large amounts of concentrate may cause nausea and
vomiting.
Skin May irritate the skin.
Eye May irritate the eyes.
Chronic Effects Evidence from animal studies indicate that repeated or prolonged exposure to
flutriafol can result in embryo/foetotoxic effects and liver disorders.
Reproductive Data indicates no teratogenic effects for flutriafol.
At doses toxic to maternal animals, flutriafol has been shown to produce
Toxicity
developmental toxicity in a number of species.
NOEL: 10 mg/kg/day (rat); and NOEL 7.5 mg/kg/day (rabbit).
Carcinogenicity Data indicates no carcinogenic effects.
Acute Toxicity - Oral LD50 (rat) 1140 mg/kg for flutriafol
LD50 (rat) 250 - 4150 mg/kg for cypermethrin
Acute Toxicity - LD50 (rat) >1000 mg/kg for flutriafol
Dermal
Acute Toxicity - LC50 (rat) (4hr) 1.6 mg/l for flutriafol

Inhalation
Eye Irritation Mild eye irritant.
Skin Irritation Mild skin irritant.
Skin Sensitisation Skin contact may produce skin sensations such as numbing, burning and
tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12
hours.
Other Information The Australian Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for flutriafol for a human is
0.01 mg/kg/day, set for the public for daily, lifetime exposure. This is based
on the NOEL of 1 mg/kg/day, the level determined to show no effects during
long term exposure for the most sensitive indicators and the most sensitive
species. (Ref: Comm. Dept. of Health and Ageing, 'ADI List', TGA, December
2004).
ADI for cypermethrin is 0.05 mg/kg/day, NOEL 5 mg/kg/day.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Persistence / Average field half life of cypermethrin is 60 days.
Flutriafol is essentially insoluble in water and has low mobility in soil.
Degradability
There is evidence of rapid degradation in soil and hydrolysis in water. The
expected half life in water is 5 days.
The product is applied to see for sowing - use pattern restricts movement into
the environment.
Known Harmful Harmful to fish.
