FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA Flash Point (method used): NA Auto Ignition Temperature: NA Lower Explosion Limits: NA Upper Explosion Limits: NA NFPA/HMIS RATING: HEALTH 1 FIRE 1 REACTIVITY 1 Extinguishing Media: [X] Foam 0 Alcohol Foam [X] Dry Chemical N Water Spray 0 Other [Xl CO2 Special Fire - Fighting Procedures: Keep out of smoke, cool exposed containers with water spray. Fight fire from an upwind position. Use self - contained breathing equipment. Contain run -off by diking to prevent entry into sewers or waterways. Equipment or materials used in pesticide fires may become contaminated. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: NA V. HEALTH HAZARDS Primary Route(s) of Entry: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion. Signs & Symptoms of Exposure _ Acute: No specific symptoms of acute overexposure are known to occur in humans. Based on EPA Toxicity Category criteria, this material is mildly toxic by the oral and dermal routes. In addition, animal studies have shown that it is not a dermal irritant nor a dermal sensitizer, however, it is mildly irritating to the conjunctiva of the eye, but the irritation is reversible within 7 days. Chronic: No specific symptoms of chronic overexposure to the active ingredient in this material are known to occur in humans. Depending on the inert carrier used in the formulation of MERIT, however, this product may contain crystalline silica (quartz). If present, it can amount to approximately 6% of the formulation. The amount of respirable crystalline silica -would be significantly lower than 6 %, though, based on data provided by the raw material manufacturer. Excessive long -term exposure to respirable crystalline silica may cause silicosis, a form of progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Emergency First -Aid Procedures Eyes: If in eyes, hold eyelids open and flush with water for 15 minutes. Call a physician if irritation persists or develops after flushing. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If signs of intoxication (poisoning) occur, get medical attention immediately. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. Ingestion: If ingestion is suspected, call a physician or poison control center. Drink one or two glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching back of throat with finger, or, if available, by administering syrup of ipecac. If syrup of ipecac is available, administer 1 tablespoonful (15 mL) of syrup of ipecac followed by one to two glasses of water. If vomiting does not occur in 20 minutes, repeat the dose once. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically. 3k 155 16 - 11 -01 Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
