3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. May form flammable dust-air mixture.

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. Keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Call a physician or Poison Control Centre immediately.
Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with soap and 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.
Symptoms: The symptoms are of cholinesterase inhibition.
Medical advice: Call Syngenta at the emergency number shown in this document, a Poison Control Centre or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Consider taking venous blood for determination of blood cholinesterase activity (use heparin tube). Administer atropine sulphate, either by intramuscular or intravenously, dependant on severity of poisoning. Since there is no therapeutic effect, the use of oxime preparations (or other cholinesterase reactivators) is contraindicated.

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 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. Avoid dust formation.
Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Do not create a powder cloud by using a brush or compressed air. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
Additional advice: If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Advice on safe handling: This material is capable of forming flammable dust clouds in air, which, if ignited, can produce a dust cloud explosion. Flames, hot surfaces, mechanical sparks and electrostatic discharges can serve as ignition sources for this material. Electrical equipment should be compatible with the flammability characteristics of this material. The flammability characteristics will be made worse if the material contains traces of flammable solvents or is handled in the presence of flammable solvents. This material can become readily charged in most operations. 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: 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
Components with workplace control parameters

silica
Exposure limit(s): 1.2 mg/m3 respirable dust
Value type: 8 h TWA
Source: UK HSE

fenoxycarb
Exposure limit(s): 10 mg/m3
Value type: 8 h TWA
Source: SYNGENTA

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
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: 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.
Skin and body protection: No special protective equipment required. Select skin and body protection based on the physical job requirements.
