SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

NOTE: Please refer to Section 11 for detailed toxicological information.

Emergency Overview

Caution! Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Harmful if gets in eyes. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Physical State liquid suspension

Odor weak characteristic

Appearance white to beige

Routes of Exposure

Ingestion, Inhalation, Eye contact, Skin Absorption

Immediate Effects Eye

Do not get in eyes. May cause redness, irritation, tearing.

Skin

Harmful if absorbed through skin. May produce symptoms similar to those from ingestion.

Ingestion

Harmful if swallowed. This product causes reversible cholinesterase inhibition.

Repeated overexposure may cause more severe cholinesterase inhibition with more pronounced symptoms. May lead to rapid onset of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, involuntary shaking, excess salivation, pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, profuse sweating, temporary paralysis, respiratory depression, and convulsions.

Inhalation

Harmful if inhaled. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. May produce symptoms similar to those from ingestion.

Chronic or Delayed Long-Term

This product is not listed by NTP, IARC or regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA.

This product or its components may have target organ effects.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure

Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing skin disease.

Potential Environmental Effect

Highly toxic to bees. Extremely toxic to aquatic and estuarine invertebrates.

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General When possible, have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment.

Eye Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Skin

Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Ingestion

Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse out mouth and give water in small sips to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician or poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not leave victim unattended.

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Notes to Physician Signs and Symptoms

Temporary blurred vision due to contraction of the pupils (miosis) following contact with the eyes.

bradycardia low blood pressure Salivation bronchial hypersecretion

Vomiting Diarrhoea sweating muscular fasciculation spasm breathing difficulties respiratory paralysis somnolence Coma respiratory failure hypothermia Convulsions Nausea

Hazards

This product contains a cholinesterase inhibitor carbamate.

Treatment

The product inhibits cholinesterase resulting in stimulation of the central nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, and the somatic motor nerves. If symptoms of carbamate poisoning are present, the administration of atropine sulfate is indicated.

ANTIDOTE: Administer atropine sulfate in large therapeutic doses. Repeat as necessary to the point of tolerance. In mild cases, start treatment by giving 1-2 mg of atropine intravenously every 15 minutes until signs of atropinization appear (dry mouth, flushing and dilated pupils if pupils were originally pinpoint).

In severe cases 2 to 4 mg should be injected intravenously every 10 minutes until fully atropinized, then intramuscularly every 30 to 60 minutes as needed to maintain the effect for at least 12 hours. Dosages for children should be appropriately reduced.

Do not use oximes such as 2-PAM unless organophosphate intoxication is suspected. Do not give morphine. Watch for pulmonary edema, which may develop in serious cases of poisoning even after 24-48 hours. At first sign of pulmonary edema, the patient should be placed in an oxygen tent and treated symptomatically.

"Disposal considerations".

Additional Advice

Use personal protective equipment. Information regarding safe handling, see section 7. Information regarding personal protective equipment, see section 8.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Procedures

Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage. Maintain exposure levels below the exposure limit through the use of general and local exhaust ventilation.

Storing Procedures

Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area.

Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Work/Hygienic Procedures

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, using the toilet or applying cosmetics.

Remove soiled clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again.

Wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.

Min/Max Storage Temperatures

Recommended maximum transport/storage temperature: 38 °C / 100 °F

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

General Protection

Cholinesterase activity of the worker should be supervised.

Follow all label instructions. Train employees in safe use of the product.

Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and warm/tepid water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

Eye/Face Protection

Tightly fitting safety goggles

Hand Protection

Chemical-resistant gloves (barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber or Viton)

Body Protection

Wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants and shoes plus socks.

Chemical resistant headgear for overhead exposure

Respiratory Protection

When respirators are required, select NIOSH approved equipment based on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industry recommendations.

Assessment Carcinogenicity Carbaryl has been shown to cause tumors in laboratory animals in lifetime feeding studies.

ACGIH

None.

NTP

None.

IARC

None.

OSHA

None.

Reproductive & Developmental Toxicity

REPRODUCTION: Carbaryl was not a reproductive toxicant in a two-generation study in rats.

DEVELOPMENTAL: Carbaryl was not a primary developmental toxicant in rats and rabbits. Developmental effects were observed in both species but were considered secondary to maternal toxicity.

Neurotoxicity

Carbaryl caused transient neurobehavioral effects (e.g., tremors) related to cholinergic toxicity without correlating neuropathological changes in acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies in rats. Carbaryl did not cause developmental neurotoxic effects in offspring in a one-generation developmental neurotoxicity study in rats.

Mutagenicity

Carbaryl poses only a slight mutagenic risk based on the overall weight of evidence in a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests.
