Section 5—Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full bunker gear. Equipment should be
thoroughly decontaminated after use.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and phosphorous oxides may occur in a fire situation.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None. Contain run-off by diking to prevent contamination of water supplies.
Section 6—Accidental Release Measures
Small Spills: Clean-up personnel should protect against mist inhalation and skin contact. Spills when handling should be
cleaned up immediately to prevent spreading. Flush spill area with water but make sure it is contained. Low environmental
hazard.
Large Spills: Clean-up personnel should protect against eye contact. Dig up heavily contaminated soil and collect in containers
for disposal. Minimize use of water to prevent environmental contamination.
Containment: Do not release into sewers or waterways. Dike spills to prevent contamination to water supplies. Contain spills
and absorb liquids by covering with clay or other absorbent material. Vacuum, scoop, or sweep up waste and place in a
container for disposal.
Section 7—Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storage: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. When using, do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after handling or contact. Immediately clean up spills that occur during handling or storage.
Thoroughly clean equipment after use. Store in cool, dry areas specifically designated for pesticides away from children, feed
and food products. Protect from freezing. Minimum storage temperature 10°F. Keep containers closed when not in use. Do
not store in galvanized steel or unlined mild steel containers.
Other Precautions: Consult local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to storage and disposal.
Section 8—Control Measures/Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29
CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, wear an OSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator.
Ventilation: Local Exhaust: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain airborne concentrations below
OSHA PELs. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred.
Protective Gloves: Wear chemically protective gloves.
Eye Protection: Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles. Contact lenses are not eye protective devices.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear chemically protective boots, aprons, and gauntlets to prevent prolonged or
repeated skin contact.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Never eat, drink, nor smoke in work areas. Practice good hygiene after using this material,
especially before eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
