3 wheezing Hazards Treatment This product is a cholinesterase inhibiting organophosphorous pesticide. Appropriate supportive and symptomatic treatment as indicated by the patient's condition is recommended. There is no specific antidote. SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash point 101 C / 214 F Autoignition temperature Lower Flammability Limit Upper Flammability Limit Explosiveness Suitable extinguishing media Fire Fighting Instructions Water, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Keep out of smoke. Fight fire from upwind position. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Firefighters should wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Methods for cleaning up Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces. Do not breathe vapour. Isolate hazard area. Keep unauthorized people away. Use personal protective equipment. Dike area to prevent runoff. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Collect and transfer the product into a properly labelled and tightly closed container. Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations. Contaminated soil may have to be removed and disposed. Decontaminate tools and equipment following cleanup. Additional advice Do not allow to enter soil, waterways or waste water canal. Do not allow product to contact vegetation. Information regarding waste disposal, see section 13. Page 3 of 9

4 SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling procedures Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage. For personal protection see section 8. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Maintain exposure levels below the exposure limit through the use of general and local exhaust ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Storing Procedures Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other crop protection products, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area. Hazardous gaseous decomposition products can be formed during storage. Evaluate for pressure increases after two years of storage. If pressure in the container has increased, call our Product Information Number (see Section 1) for further handling advice. Do not store at temperatures below -10 C. Work/Hygienic Procedures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. 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 minimum transport/storage temperature: -10 C / 14 F SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION General Protection 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 Hand protection Body Protection Respiratory protection Chemical resistant goggles must be worn. Wear suitable gloves. Wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants and shoes plus socks. 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.

The non-acute information pertains to the technical-grade active ingredient, methamidophos. Acute oral toxicity male rat: LD50: 17 mg/kg female rat: LD50: 21 mg/kg Acute dermal toxicity male rabbit: LD50: 987 mg/kg female rabbit: LD50: 516 mg/kg Acute inhalation toxicity male rat: LC50: mg/l Exposure time: 4 h Determined in the form of liquid aerosol. female rat: LC50: mg/l Exposure time: 4 h Determined in the form of liquid aerosol. male rat: LC50: mg/l Exposure time: 1 h Determined in the form of liquid aerosol. female rat: LC50: mg/l Exposure time: 1 h Determined in the form of liquid aerosol. Skin irritation Eye irritation Sensitisation Chronic toxicity rabbit: slight irritation rabbit: No eye irritation, however, this product is highly toxic and can be absorbed through the mucous membranes of the eye. guinea pig: Non-sensitizing. Methamidophos caused clinical signs of toxicity including cholinesterase inhibition in chronic feeding studies in rats and dogs. Assessment Carcinogenicity Methamidophos was not carcinogenic in lifetime feeding studies in rats and mice. ACGIH NTP Page 6 of 9

7 IARC OSHA Reproductive toxicity REPRODUCTION: Methamidophos caused toxicity in offspring at doses producing systemic toxicity in adult rats. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Methamidophos was not a primary developmental toxicant in rats and rabbits. Developmental effects were observed but were considered secondary to maternal toxicity. Assessment neurotoxicity Mutagenicity Methamidophos caused neurobehavioral effects related to cholinergic toxicity in acute, subchronic and developmental neurotoxicity studies in rats. No neuropathological changes were observed in these studies. Methamidophos was not mutagenic or genotoxic in a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests. SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Environmental precautions Do not allow to get into surface water, drains and ground water. Do not contaminate surface or ground water by cleaning equipment or disposal of wastes, including equipment wash water. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
