Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found under Description
of rst aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any ad-
ditional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes to physician: Skin contact may aggravate preexisting dermatitis. Repeated excessive exposure may aggravate
preexisting lung disease. Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. May cause asthma-like (reac-
tive airways) symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants, antitussives and corticosteroids may be of help. The decision
of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by a physician. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/
or esophageal control. Danger from lung aspiration must be weighed against toxicity when considering emptying the
stomach. Exposure to this material may impair the ability to operate hazardous equipment or drive vehicles. No specic
antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
Have the Safety Data Sheet, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center
or doctor, or going for treatment.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or ne spray. Dry chemical re extinguishers. Carbon dioxide re extinguish-
ers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or
protein foams may function, but will be less effective.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: no data available
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous combustion products: During a re, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion prod-
ucts of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited
to: Nitrogen oxides. Hydrogen chloride. Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide. Combustion products may include trace
amounts of: Phosgene.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a re situation. Violent steam
generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Dense smoke is produced when
product burns.
Advice for reghters
Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate re and deny unnecessary entry. Consider feasibility of a con-
trolled burn to minimize environment damage. Foam re extinguishing system is preferred because uncontrolled water
can spread possible contamination. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water
stream. May spread re. Burning liquids may be moved by ushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property
damage. Contain re water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage.
Review the “Accidental Release Measures” and the “Ecological Information” sections of this (M)SDS.
Special protective equipment for reghters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and
protective re ghting clothing (includes re ghting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this
material during re ghting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant re ghting clothing with self-
contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing
apparatus and ght re from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-re or non-re clean-up situations, refer
to the relevant sections.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering the area. Refer to section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Keep
upwind of spill. Ventilate area of leak or spill. No smoking in area. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional
information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Sec-
tion 12, Ecological Information.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible. Small spills: Absorb
with materials such as: Clay. Dirt. Sand. Sweep up. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Large spills:
Contact Dow AgroSciences for clean-up assistance. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.
