EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes.

Inhalation risk
A nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: (inhalable fraction): 1 mg/m³, as TWA; (SEN); A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans)

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES
If the pesticide is present in a formulation containing hydrocarbon solvents, vomiting should not be induced. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
