If swallowed: Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so after calling 800-888- 8372 or by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water.

If inhaled: First aid measures are not normally required. If you feel unwell or have concerns, contact Syngenta (800-888-8372), a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Most important symptoms/effects:

This product contains anticoagulants with an effect similar to warfarin in that they act by interfering with the synthesis of prothrombin. The specific measure of effect is the prothrombin time. Note this may not become prolonged until 12-18 hours after ingestion. The specific antidote is Vitamin K1 (Phytomenandione BP).

Antidote must be administered under medical supervision. Initially, antidote should be given by injection (10-20 mg, or 0.25 mg/kg for children, by slow intravenous infusion at a rate not exceeding 1 mg/minute. In severe cases the use of fresh frozen plasma may be required). Maintenance treatment is given orally (40 mg/day in divided doses for adults; up to 20 mg/day in divided doses for children). The prothrombin time and the hemoglobin should be monitored. Patients should be kept under medical supervision until the prothrombin time has been normal for 3 consecutive days. Oral treatment may need to be continued for several months (20 mg/day in divided doses for adults, and up to 20 mg/day in divided doses for children). (For animal cases the dose is 2-5 mg/kg).

Each 20 g bar contains 1 mg of brodifacoum.

Further information is available from the Syngenta emergency number provided in this document.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media:

Specific Hazards:

Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters:

Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.

During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures:

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Follow exposure controls/personal protection outlined in Section 8.

Control the spill at its source. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions outlined in Section 8. Sweep up material and place in a compatible disposal container. Once all material is collected, seal container and arrange for disposition.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling:

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ARE INTENDED FOR

THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION AND PACKAGING OF THIS PRODUCT.

FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT LABEL.

Occupational Exposure Limits:

Appropriate engineering controls:

Use effective engineering controls to comply with occupational exposure limits (if applicable).

Individual protection measures:

Chemical Name OtherOSHA PEL ACGIH TLV Source

Brodifacoum Technical Not Established Not Established 0.002 mg/m³ TWA Syngenta

Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

Eye protection is not required for normal handling. Where eye contact is likely, wear tight-fitting chemical goggles.

Gloves are not required for normal handling. Where heavy contact is likely, wear chemical resistant (such as nitrile or butyl) gloves.

Respiratory protection is not required for normal handling. In the event of an unusual dust exposure, use engineering controls or a NIOSH-certified particulate respirator (N, P, R or HE filter) to keep exposure below the Occupational Exposure Limit.

Health effects information

Symptoms of exposure:

Delayed, immediate and chronic effects of exposure:

Brodifacoum Technical: The biological half-life for brodifacoum in body tissue in rats is > 100 days. Adverse clinical effects can develop from body accumulation. Prolonged prothrombin time, depression, pallor, subcutaneous hemorrhage, bleeding of nose or gums, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage, shock and death can develop following exposures.

No neurotox studies have been conducted.

Brodifacoum Technical: Not teratogenic, embryotoxic or fetotoxic in rats or rabbits at doses up to 0.02 mg/kg/day - the dose causing excessive maternal toxicity.

Non-genotoxic in a range of assays.

Carcinogenicity

Toxicity of Other Components

Target Organs

Other Toxicity Information

Systemically toxic concentrations of this product will probably not be absorbed through human skin.

Because this product is a wax block, inhalation is not expected to be a normal route of exposure.

No irritation is likely to develop following contact with human eyes.

Irritation will probably not develop following contact with human skin.

Effects of overexposure are those of anticoagulant overdose, i.e., reduced blood clotting ability with spontaneous bleeding in various organs. Body accumulation can result from repeated exposures since the half-life of brodifacoum is > 100 days. Individuals with blood clotting disorders may be more susceptible to overexposure effects.
