General recommendation
IN CASE OF INTOXICATION, CONTACT THE CLOSEST POISON
CENTER. TAKE THE PATIENT TO A VENTILATED PLACE. Have on
hand the label of the product or the Material Safety Data Sheet when you call
to the emergency number of Syngenta, or to the poison control center or to the
doctor.
4.1 Inhalation
Take the patient outside. If abnormal breathing activity is detected, provide
immediate medical attention.
4.2 Skin contact
Take off immediately all contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash off
immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 or twenty minutes. In case of
skin irritation, provide medical attention.
4.3 Eyes contact

unconscious person.
Notes to physician treatment
There is no specific antidote. Symptomatic treatment is recommended.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Extinguishing media
In the event of fire, use an extinguishing agent: powder, alcohol-resistant
foam, carbon dioxide or water spray. Do not use direct jet of water. Wear
protective and proper clothing and oxygen mask. Evacuate affected areas.
During a fire, irritating and possible toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Prevent entrance into the affected area until
decontamination. The water used to extinguish a fire may cause environmental
damages, so it must be collected, packed and decontaminated by filtration
using absorbent activated charcoal. At the same time, charcoal must be
incinerated afterwards.
5.2 Firefighting procedures
Combustion products may be toxic and/or irritating. Measures must be taken
to avoid soil filtering or uncontrolled spreading of the contaminated
extinguishing agent. In case of fire, autonomous breathing equipment must be
used and proper protective clothing must be worn. Isolate the affected area
and do not use it until decontamination.
6. HANDLING AND STORAGE

9.1 Acute effects to fish
Moderately toxic to fish. Avoid the contact of the product with the aquatic
environments. Do not contaminate irrigation water, neither receptacles such as
lakes, ponds or docks. Do not contaminate water sources when eliminating the
cleaning fluid of the equipments and remember to sprinkle the remaining
broth on ploughed fields or dirt roads.

expected. The crops must be respected and application times of this label
strictly. Take the precaution of not contaminating the possible sources of
water of bees.

Non-persistence.
9.5 Control effect
Not available.
10. EMERGENCY ACTIONS
10.1Spillages
Cover spillages with absorbent material (dirt or sand). Sweep neatly, pick it
and put it in well identified bags or containers for its subsequent destruction
by authorized companies. Wash contaminated surfaces using carbonated or
soapy and then pack the cleaning fluid. Avoid the contamination of still or
running waters. In the event of water sources spillages, interrupt immediately
the human or animal consumption and contact to the company emergency
center.
10.2 Fire
In the event of fire, use an extinguishing agent: powder, foam, carbon dioxide
or water spray. Do not use direct jet of water. Wear protective and proper
clothing and oxygen mask. Evacuate affected areas. During a fire, irritating
and possible toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. Avoid the entrance into the affected area until decontamination.
The water used to extinguish a fire may cause environmental damages, so it
must be collected, packed and decontaminated by filtration using absorbent
activated charcoal. At the same time, charcoal must be incinerated afterwards.
10.3 Final disposition
Empty containers cannot be used again. Respect the following instructions for
the Triple Wash according to the regulation IRAM 12.069: Add water until
covering ¼ of the container capacity, close it and agitate for 30 seconds. Then,
pour the water of the container in the dispenser (consider this water volume
within the recommended volume of the mixture). Then, carry out this
procedure three times. Finally, make the container useless by perforating it or
trying not to damage the label when carrying out this operation. The
perforated containers must be placed in containers to be sent to a specialized
plant for its final destruction. Do not bury or carry out open-air burning the
containers and other wastes.
