3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Harmful by inhalation. Irritating to skin. May cause sensitisation by skin contact. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child.

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.
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.
Skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
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 this container or label. Do not induce vomiting.
Medical advice:
There is no specific antidote available. 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: Use alcohol-resistant foam or 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 protection 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.

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.
Method 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.
Storage
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 feeding stuffs.
Other data: 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
Exposure Controls
Hazardous ingredients LTEL, 8 hr TWA
HSE OES EH40/2002;
Propane-1,2-diol Total (vapour & particulates): 150 ppm 474 mg/m3.
Propane-1,2-diol Particulates: 10 mg/m3.
SYNGENTA Standard;
Azoxystrobin: 2 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.

Personal Protective equipment
Personal Protection: When using this product refer to the label for details. In all other cases, use the following 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: A combination gas, vapour and particulate respirator may be necessary until effective technical measures are installed. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus in cases of emergency spills, when exposure levels are unknown, or under any circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Hand protection: Chemical resistant gloves should be used. Gloves should be certified to an appropriate standard. Gloves should have a minimum breakthrough time that is appropriate to the duration of exposure. The breakthrough time of gloves varies according to the thickness, material and manufacturer. Gloves should be changed when breakthrough is suspected. Suitable material: nitrile rubber.
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: Assess the exposure and select chemical resistant clothing based on the potential for contact and the permeation/penetration characteristics of the clothing material. Wash with soap and water after removing protective clothing. Decontaminate clothing before re-use, or use disposable equipment (suits, aprons, sleeves, boots, etc.). Wear as appropriate: impervious protective suit.
