TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/
FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.

In case of fire in the surroundings: use appropriate extinguishing media.
EXPLOSION


EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

 •INHALATION Cough. Sore throat.
Avoid inhalation of fine dust and mist. Local exhaust or breathing protection.
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
 •SKIN Redness.
Protective gloves.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
 •EYES Redness. Pain.
Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
 •INGESTION Burning sensation.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
Refer for medical attention.
SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles.
Separated from food and feedstuffs .
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
 COLOURLESS TO WHITE CRYSTALS.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
 The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride and sulfur oxides .

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
 TLV: 10 mg/m³ as TWA; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2004).
OSHA PEL†: TWA 15 mg/m3 (total) TWA 5 mg/m3 (resp)
NIOSH REL: TWA 10 mg/m3 (total) TWA 5 mg/m3 (resp)
NIOSH IDLH: 500 mg/m3 See: 136787


ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
 The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
 Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
 The substance is irritating to the eyes , the skin and the respiratory tract . The substance may cause effects on the kidneys and liver .

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
PHYSICAL
PROPERTIES
Melting point (decomposes): 245°C
Relative density (water = 1): 1.70
 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 25°C: (good)
Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 133
ENVIRONMENTAL
DATA
Environmental Hazard placard This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.
N O T E S
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. Crag Herbicide 1, Crag Sesone, Herbon are trade names. The substance is metabolized in the body into 2,4-D. See ICSC0033. Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response.
