2 R-phrase(s) R37 Irritating to respiratory system. R43 May cause sensitization by skin contact. R50/53 Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. S-phrase(s) S2 Keep out of the reach of children. S13 Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. S20/21 When using do not eat, drink or smoke. S24 Avoid contact with skin. S35 This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe way. S37 Wear suitable gloves. S46 If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. S57 Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES Ingestion: If product is swallowed or gets in mouth, wash mouth with water and give some water to drink. If symptoms develop, or if in doubt contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. Inhalation: If irritation occurs, contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor. Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be beneficial if administered by trained personnel, preferably on a doctor's advice. In severe cases, symptoms of pulmonary oedema can be delayed up to 48 hours after exposure. Skin Contact:

3 Gently brush away excess solids. Wash gently and thoroughly with water (use nonabrasive soap if necessary) for 5 minutes or until chemical is removed. Eye Contact: Quickly and gently brush particles from eyes. No effects expected. If irritation does occur, flush contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until the product is removed. Obtain medical advice if irritation becomes painful or lasts more than a few minutes. SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Fire and Explosion Hazards: There is no risk of an explosion from this product under normal circumstances if it is involved in a fire. This product, if scattered, may form flammable or explosive dust clouds in air. Fire decomposition products from this product may be toxic if inhaled. Take appropriate protective measures. Extinguishing Media: Preferred extinguishing media are carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water fog. Fire Fighting: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade. Do not scatter spilled material with high pressure water jets. Flash point: Not flammable. SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL SPIL/RELEASE MEASURES Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Wear full protective clothing including eye/face protection. All skin areas should be covered. See below under Personal Protection regarding Australian Standards relating

4 to personal protective equipment. Suitable materials for protective clothing include rubber, PVC. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum, protective glasses and, preferably, goggles. If there is a significant chance that dusts are likely to build up in cleanup area, we recommend that you use a suitable Dust Mask. Use a P1 mask, designed for use against mechanically generated particles eg silica & asbestos. Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable product into labeled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Consider vacuuming if appropriate. Recycle containers wherever possible after careful cleaning. Refer to product label for specific instructions. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services. Full details regarding disposal of used containers, spillage and unused material may be found on the label. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Keep exposure to this product to a minimum, and minimize the quantities kept in work areas. Check Section 8 of this MSDS for details of personal protective measures, and make sure that those measures are followed. The measures detailed below under "Storage" should be followed during handling in order to minimize risks to persons using the product in the workplace. Storage: Observe all relevant regulations regarding sale, transport and storage of this schedule of poison. Make sure that containers of this product are kept tightly closed. Store in the closed original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Check packaging - there may be further storage instructions on the label. SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION

5 No special equipment is usually needed when occasionally handling small quantities. The following instructions are for bulk handling or where regular exposure in an occupational setting occurs without proper containment systems. Ventilation: No special ventilation requirements are normally necessary for this product. However make sure that the work environment remains clean and that dusts are minimized. Eye Protection: Eye protection such as protective glasses or goggles is recommended when this product is being used. Skin Protection: If you believe you may have a sensitization to this product or any of its declared ingredients, you should prevent skin contact by wearing impervious gloves, clothes and, preferably, apron. Make sure that all skin areas are covered. See below for suitable material types. Protective Material Types: We suggest that protective clothing be made from the following materials: rubber, PVC. Respirator: If there is a significant chance that dusts are likely to build up in the area where this product is being used, we recommend that you use a suitable Dust Mask.

6 SECTION 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Reactivity: This product is unlikely to react or decompose under normal storage conditions. Mancozeb is slowly decomposed by heat and moisture. Incompatibilities: Strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents. Conditions to Avoid: Keep containers tightly closed. Store in the closed original container in a dry, cool, wellventilated area out of direct sunlight. Fire Decomposition: Carbon dioxide, and if combustion is incomplete, carbon monoxide and smoke. Nitrogen and its compounds, and under some circumstances, oxides of nitrogen. Occasionally hydrogen cyanide gas. Oxides of sulfur (sulfur dioxide is a respiratory hazard) and other sulfur compounds. Water, zinc compounds. Polymerization: This product will not undergo polymerization reactions.
