If person is unconscious, do not give anything by mouth and do not induce vomiting. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties The material poses no explosion hazard in granular form. Like most organic powders or crystals,under severe dusting conditions, this material may form explosive mixtures in air. Extinguishing Media Water Spray, Foam,Dry Chemical,C02. Fire Fighting Instructions Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use water spray. Cool tank/container with water spray. ^% ^% ^% MO000385 DuPont Page Material Safety Data Sheet (FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES -Continued) If area is heavily exposed to fire and if conditions permit, let fire burn itself out since water may increase the area contaminated. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Safeguards (Personnel) NOTE:Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up. Emergency Response -Chemical resistant coveralls, waterproof gloves,waterproof boots and face/eye protection. If dusting occurs, use NIOSH approved respirator protection. Initial Containment Dike spill.Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or low areas. Spill Clean Up Shovel or sweep up. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling (Personnel) Avoid breathing vapors or mist.Avoid breathing dust.Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing.Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not store or consume food,drink or use tobacco in areas where they may become contaminated with this material. USERS SHOULD:Wash hands before eating,drinking,chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Handling (Physical Aspects) Keep away from heat,sparks and flames.

Chlorsulfuron Inhalation 4 hour LC50: > 5.9 mg/L in rats (Very low toxicity by inhalation) The effects in animals from repeated exposures by inhalation to Chlorsulfuron include decreased weight gain, reversible kidney and spleen effects, and bone marrow changes. Toxicity described in animals from the administration of a single dose of Chlorsulfuron include lung changes,weakness and other nonspecific effects.Repeated dosing caused decreased weight gain,and hematological and clinical chemical changes.Long-term dosing resulted in decreased body weight gain,and slight hematologial changes. Animal testing indicates that Chlorsulfuron,the active ingredient,does not have carcinogenic,or reproductive effects. Developmental toxicity has been observed but only at maternally toxic dose levels. Chlorsulfuron did not produce genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell cultures. It did not produce heritable genetic damage.
