4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Consult the National Poisons Information Centre 0800 POISON (0800 764 766) or a doctor in every
case of suspected chemical poisoning. Never give fluids or induce vomiting if a patient is
unconscious or convulsing regardless of cause of injury. If breathing difficulties occur seek
medical attention immediately.
Effects and Symptoms
Dust2Dust has low oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity. The talc used in this product contains no asbestos
fibre. Exposure at or below the TWA (2.5 mg/m³) is thought to protect workers from the significant risk of
nonmalignant respiratory effects associated with talc dusts.
Swallowed
Dust2Dust has low oral toxicity; the Acute Oral LD50 (rat) 12,000 mg/kg (calculated). However if poisoning
occurs when swallowed, do not induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 1-2 cupfuls
of water. Begin artificial respiration if the victim is not breathing. Use mouth to nose rather than mouth to
mouth. Obtain urgent medical attention.

Skin Contact
Non irritating to the skin. Acute Dermal LD50 (rabbit) > 2000 mg/kg. If on skin, immediately wash with
plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
Destroy contaminated leather articles such as belts ad watchbands. Seek medical attention Eye Contact
Mildly irritating to the eyes. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Remove contact lenses is present and easy to do and
continue rinsing. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed. Obtain urgent medical attention.
Inhalation
Low inhalation toxicity. Acute inhalation LC50 (rat) > 5.27 mg/L1 hour. It may irritate the mucous
membranes of the respiratory tract. Move the victim to fresh air immediately. Begin artificial respiration if
breathing has stopped. Obtain medical attention immediately.
First Aid facilities
Provide eye baths and safety showers close to areas where exposure may occur.
Medical Attention
Treat symptomatically and supportively, monitoring the development of hypersensitivity reactions with
respiratory distress. Gastric lavage may be indicated if ingested. No know antidote. Do not confuse with
cholinesterase poisoning. Skin contacted may be carefully cleaned with cleansing milk. Symptoms can be
partially alleviated by the application of a vitamin E or moisturizing cream or anesthetic ointment. For eyes,
instill local anesthetic drops e.g. 1% amethocaine hydrochloride eye drops. Give analgesics as necessary.
In all cases consult the National Poisons Centre for the most up to date treatment information.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Material may support combustion at elevated temperatures. Thermal decomposition and burning may
produce toxic by-products. Do not allow contaminated run-off to enter drains. Self-contained breathing
apparatus required. Use dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide as extinguishing media. Soft
stream water fog only is necessary. Contain all runoff
Hazardous thermal (de)composition products:
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, chlorine, hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:

Small Spills
Wear appropriate protective clothing whilst cleaning up small spills (see Personal Protectio absorbent material such as earth, sand or clay granules to the spill. Sweep up material f absorption is complete. Clean up minor spills immediately. EMERGENCY PHONE: KEY INDUSTRIES LTD (Frank Visser, Managing Director): 0274 941 659
Date of Issue: 12 January 2010
Date of Revision: 12 January 2010

Large Spills
Wear protective clothing. Clear the area of all unprotected personnel. As a standard precautionary
measure, shut off all sources of ignition. Place leaking containers into salvage drums. Apply absorbent
material such as damp earth, sand or clay granules to spill area. Form a barricade around the spill and in
front of drains or waterways in spill vicinity, using earth or other available material. Prevent entry of
material into drains or water ways.
Waste Disposal Method
Contaminated absorbent and wash water should be disposed of according to local regulations under the
Resource management Act. Avoid contamination of any water supply with chemical or empty container.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

SAFETY DATA SHEET – Miller Mark
te water, feed, or food by storage, handling, or disposal. No smoking, eating or drinking should be allowed where material is used or stored. Read and observe all precautions and instructions on the label. Avoid contact with food, clothing, drugs or other household goods during transportation.
Conditions for safe storage
Store containers upright and closed. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and in well-
ventilated areas, away from children and animals. Keep away from heat, ignition sources and strong
oxidizers. Emptied containers may retain product residues.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Limits
Exposure guideline:
Workplace exposure standards:
Exposure Standards outside the workplace: Not Established
Engineering Controls
Control airborne concentrations below the exposure guideline. Good general ventilation should be
sufficient for most conditions.
Hygiene Controls
Facilities storing or utilising this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility, safety shower and
facility for washing hands/face after work.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection
Wear an approved organic vapor respirator in absence of proper mechanical ventilation. 3/44L Constellation Dr
Eye Protection
Wear approved safety glasses, goggles, or a full-face shield. Skin/Body Protection
DO NOT SMOKE, EAT, DRINK OR APPLY COSMETICS IN WORK AREA! Wear waterproof gloves when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. Wash promptly if skin becomes contaminated. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. EMERGENCY PHONE: KEY INDUSTRIES LTD (Frank Visser, Managing Director): 0274 941 659

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Acute Effects
Ingestion: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be low. Irritation and respiratory discomfort may occur.
Eye Contact: Mildly irritating to the eyes.
Skin Contact: Non irritating to the skin. Acute Dermal LD50 (rabbit) > 2000 mg/kg. A single prolonged
exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.
Inhalation: Low inhalation toxicity. Acute Inhalation LC50(rat) > 5.27 mg/L/1 hour. It may irritate the
mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
Chronic Effects No data available on this formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, Permethrin
Technical did not cause teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicity
No data is available on Dust2Dust Insecticidal Powder. The following information refers to P Environmental Toxicology: Permethrin is considered highly toxic to fish and aquatic arth LC50 values which range from 0.02 µg/L to 315 µg/L. The aquatic arthropods tend to be some of the more
sensitive species. Marine species are often more sensitive than freshwater species. Permethrin is slightly
toxic to birds and the Acute Oral LD50 values are greater than 3,600 mg/kg. Do not contaminate sewers,
drains, dams, creeks or any other waterways with product or the used container.

Environmental Fate
Permethrin has a moderate rate of degradation in soil. It is stable over a wide range of pH values.
Because permethrin has a high affinity for organic matter, there is little potential for movement in the soil or
entry into ground water. Because of the ease with which biological systems degrade the molecule, the
potential for bio-concentration and accumulation in the environment is low.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Product Disposal
Dispose of product only by using according to label or using an approved waste disposal contractor. If this
material as supplied becomes a waste care should be taken to ensure compliance with national and local
authorities. It is the responsibility of the waste generator to determine the toxicity and physical properties of
