3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice: Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data Sheet with you when calling the Syngenta emergency number, a Poison Control Centre or physician, or going for treatment.
Skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or Poison Control Centre immediately.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Immediate medical attention is required.
Ingestion: If swallowed seek medical advice immediately and show the container, label or this Data Sheet, if possible. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting.
Medical Advice
There is no specific antidote. Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
Extinguishing media – small fires: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Extinguishing media – large fires: Alcohol-resistant foam, water spray.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific hazards during fire fighting: As the product contains combustible organic components, fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion (see section 10). Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Special protective equipment for fire fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local/national regulations (see section 13).
Additional advice: If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Advice on safe handling: No special technical protective measures required. No special handling advice required. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. For personal protection see section 8.
Requirements for storage areas and containers: No special storage conditions required. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep away from food, drink and animal feed.
Storage Life: Physically and chemically stable for at least 2 years when stored in the original unopened sales container at ambient temperatures.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational exposure limits
Hazardous ingredients
SYNGENTA Standard: Azoxystrobin, 8 hr TWA 2 mg/m³.
HSE/EH40/2002: Propane-1,2-diol (Propylene glycol), LTEL, 8 hr TWA
Total (vapour & particulates): 150 ppm 474 mg/m³.
Particulates: 10 mg/m³.

ENGINEERING MEASURES
Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical protection measure if exposure cannot be eliminated. The extent of these protection measures depends on the actual risks in use. If airborne mists or vapours are generated, use local exhaust ventilation controls. Assess exposure and use any additional measures to keep airborne levels below any relevant exposure limit. Where necessary, seek additional occupational hygiene advice. When using this product refer to the label for details. In all other cases, use the following Personal Protective Equipment:

Personal protective Equipment
Protective measures: The use of technical measures should always have priority over the use of personal protective equipment. When selecting personal protective equipment, seek appropriate professional advice. Personal protective equipment should be certified to appropriate standards.
Respiratory protection: No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required. A particulate filter respirator may be necessary until effective technical measures are installed.
Hand protection: Chemical resistant gloves are not usually required. Select gloves based on the physical job requirements.
Eye protection: Eye protection is not usually required. Follow any site specific eye protection policies. Eye/face protection should be certified to EN 166.
Skin and body protection: No special protective equipment required. Select skin and body protection based on the physical job requirements.
