Environmental
Data
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.
This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to birds and honey bees.
Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur along the food chain, for example in fish and algae.
The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment.
This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.

N O T E S
|
If the pesticide is present in a formulation containing hydrocarbon solvents, vomiting should not be induced.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
If the substance is formulated with solvents also consult the ICSCs of these materials.
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
