Other Information This MSDS describes, to the best our knowledge, the properties the concentrated product. The physical properties and some the assessments do not apply to the properties the product once it has been diluted for application. Acute health effects the diluted product are likely to be much less severe. 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Hazard Classification HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE. NON-DANGEROUS GOODS.

2 CS: Page: 2 Eye Advice to Doctor If in eyes, hold eyelids open and wash with copious amounts water for at least 1 minutes. Treat symptomatically.. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable If involved in a fire, the product will not burn. Choose extinguishing media Extinguishing Media to suit the burning material. Hazards from If involved in a fire, the dehydrated components may emit toxic fumes Combustion cyanide and hydrogen chloride. Products Special Protective Breathable air apparatus may have to be worn in confined spaces. Equipment for fire fighters Specific Hazards Considered low risk due to water content, however upon evaporation water the product is combustible. Other Information STOP FIRE WATER FROM ENTERING DRAINS OR WATER BODIES. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spills & Disposal Contain spill and absorb with clay, sand, soil or proprietary absorbent (such as vermiculite). Collect spilled material and waste in sealable open-top type containers for disposal. Personal Protection For appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), refer Section 8. Environmental Prevent from entering drains, waterways or sewers. Precautions 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Do NOT contaminate dams, rivers or streams, or any other water bodies with Handling pesticide or used containers. Conditions for Safe Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. Storage Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Other Information Always read the label and any attached leaflet before use. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards Name STEL TWA mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 ppm Footnote Atrazine Other Exposure Information NOHSC has set the following exposure standard for glycerin (mist) : TLV (TWA) 10 mg/m3, STEL -. Engineering Handle in well ventilated areas, generally natural ventilation is adequate. Controls Personal Protective Equipment Hygiene Measures Requirements Concerning Special Training When opening the container, preparing spray and using the prepared spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves and goggles. If using a hand directed sprayer, wear, in addition, waterpro trousers and boots. Re-entry period: Do not enter treated area until spray has dried. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day's use, wash contaminated clothing and safety equipment. Check State or Territory regulations that require people who use pesticides in their job or business to have training in the application the materials. 9.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Hazardous Reactions Keep away from strong oxidising agents, may react violently. Hazardous Hazardous polymerisation is not possible. Polymerization 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Toxicology No harmful effects are expected if the precautions on the label and this MSDS Information are followed. Respiratory protection while spraying is recommended. Some temporary irritation may be experienced. Ingestion Amounts swallowed incidental to normal handling procedures and use are not expected to cause injury. Skin May irritate the skin. May cause sensitisation by prolonged skin contact. Eye May irritate the eyes. Reproductive Data indicates no reproductive effects. Toxicity Data indicates no teratogenic effects. Mutagenicity The weight evidence indicates that atrazine does not present a mutagenic risk. Carcinogenicity Atrazine technical has been extensively tested on laboratory mammals and in test-tube systems. After long-term administration (close to two years continuous feeding) a slight increase in the incidence mammary tumours was reported in one species (rat), one sex (female) and one strain (Sprague-Dawley) in one study at higher doses. A more recent study (1992) using Sprague-Dawley rats showed no significant difference between rats fed normal diet and those fed on a diet containing atrazine with regard to the incidence tumours. Recent studies with the Fischer rat strain have shown no evidence tumour producing potential. The relevance the mammary tumour finding to humans is doubted as epidemiological studies workers involved in the production atrazine for up to 30 years have shown no evidence health problems associated with atrazine exposure. Atrazine has been listed by IARC as a Class 3, not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans. Acute Toxicity - Oral LD0 (rat) mg/kg for atrazine LD0 (mice) mg/kg for atrazine Acute Toxicity - LD0 (rat) >3100 mg/kg for atrazine Dermal Acute Toxicity - LC0 (rat) (4hr) >.8 mg/l for atrazine Eye Irritation Not an eye irritant. Skin Irritation Mild skin irritant. Skin Sensitisation Prolonged and repeated skin contact may result in skin sensitisation. Print Date: 8/0/2012 CS: 1..27

4 CS: Page: 4 Other Information The Australian Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for atrazine for a human is 0.00 mg/kg/day, set for the public for daily, lifetime exposure. This is based on the NOEL 0. mg/kg/day, the level determined to show no effects during long term exposure for the most sensitive indicators and the most sensitive species. (Ref: Comm. Dept. Health and Ageing Office Chemical Safety and Environmental Health, 'ADI List', December 2011). 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Persistence / Average field half life atrazine is 3-0 days. Degradability This may be longer under cold or dry conditions. Other Precautions Do not contaminate dams, waterways or sewers with this product or the containers which have held this product. Environ. Protection Spray drift should be avoided, read the label for more information. Marine pollutant. Acute Toxicity - Fish The following is data for the active ingredient, atrazine. LC0 (96hr) for rainbow trout is mg/l. LC0 (96hr) for bluegill sunfish is 16 mg/l. LC0 (96hr) for carp is 76 mg/l. Acute Toxicity - LC0 (48hr) for daphnia is 6.9 mg/l for atrazine. Daphnia Acute Toxicity - EC0 72hr for Scenedesmus subspicatus mg/l. Algae Acute Toxicity - Other Organisms The following data is for the active ingredient, atrazine. Birds: Not toxic to birds. LD0 for mallard ducks is >2000 mg/kg LD0 for bobwhite quail is 940 mg/kg Bees: Not toxic to bees. LD0 >97 µg/bee. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Product Disposal On site disposal the concentrated product is not acceptable. Ideally, the product should be used for its intended purpose. If there is a need to dispose the product, approach local authorities who hold periodic collections unwanted chemicals (ChemClear ). Container Disposal Do not use this container for any other purpose. Triple rinse containers, add rinsate to the spray tank, then fer the container for recycling/reconditioning, or puncture top, sides and bottom and dispose in landfill in accordance with local regulations. drummuster is the national program for the collection and recycling empty, cleaned, non returnable crop production and on-farm animal health chemical containers. If the label on your container carries the drummuster symbol, triple rinse the container, ring your local Council, and fer the container for collection in the program. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 00mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. Empty containers and product should not be burnt. Returnable containers: empty contents fully into application equipment. Replace cap, close all valves and return to the point supply for refill or storage. 14.
