Human health effects:
On the basis of available information, this material is not expected to produce any significant adverse effects when recommended use instructions are followed. Environmental effects:
On the basis of available information, this material is not expected to produce any significant adverse environmental effects when recommended use instructions are followed.
Skin contact:
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Grossly contaminated clothing, wash before re-use. Wash immediately with plenty of water. Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Ingestion: Obtain medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.
Further Medical Advice: Systemic symptoms from accidental inhalation or ingestion are unlikely.
Treatment consists of gastric lavage (within 3 hours) and administration of activated charcoal and standard supportive measures. Atropine and oximes are not indicated.
Personal precautions:
Use personal protection recommended in section 8. In confined areas, wear breathing apparatus.If exposed to splashes, wear chemical goggles.
Methods of cleaning up:
Small spillage: Flush spill area with water. Large spillage: Absorb in earth or sand. Sweep up into containers for disposal. Dig up heavily contaminated soil and place in drums. (Refer to section 10 for types of containers and drums.) Flush spill area with water. Refer to section 13 for disposal of spilled material
Environmental precautions:
Low environmental hazard when used as recommended.
Handling:
Good industrial practice in housekeeping and personal hygiene should be followed.
Handle so as to minimise the chance of skin or eye contact. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands immediately after handling. Thoroughly clean equipment after use.
For more information refer to product label.
Storage:
Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep only in the original container. Store above -15 0C. Keep at temperature not exceeding 40 0C.
Minimum shelf life : 2 years.
Form: liquid Colour: clear light amber to light brown Odour: Practically odourless to slight amine like. pH (5% solution): 4.4 - 4.9 Flash Point: Not applicable, non combustible. Specific gravity: 172 Solubility in water: Completely miscible with water.
Conditions to avoid:
Heating >100 °C may generate pressure due to steam formation from the water present. If very strongly heated, gives off harmful fumes.
Materials to avoid:
This material will react with galvanised or unlined steel, (except stainless steel) to produce hydrogen, a highly flammable gas that can cause explosions. Should be mixed, stored and applied in stainless steel, aluminium, fiberglass, plastic or plastic lined containers.
Active Ingredients:
Tests on glyphosate showed that it did not cause any mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic or adverse reproductive effects. It is not neutotoxic and does not inhibit cholinesterase.
Predictive patch testing on human volunteers did not produce irritation or sensitisation. Direct eye contact may cause temporary eye irritation and conjuntivitis. Prolonged or repeated contact with surfactants may cause defatting of the skin and result in dermatosis. If swallowed, may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation (discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). If large quantities of the concentrated product are swallowed, may result in hypotension and pulmonary edema.
The following data were obtained on the formulation.
Aquatic toxicity:
96h LC50:Bluegill sunfishStatic = 14mg/1; - Flowthrough = 5.8mg/l
Rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss): - Static = 15-26mg/l; - Flowthrough= 8.2mg/l
48h EC50: Water flea (Daphnia magna):- with aeration = 37mg/l; - without aeration= 24mg/l
Daphnia magna - 21 day exposure in static renewal system: survival reduced 44% at 6.8mg/l and 97% at 14mg/l. No effects noted for toxicity at 3.2mg/l. No effect noted on reproduction at any of the levels tested.
Active ingredient: Tests in a variety of mammalian/avian/aquatic species BCF (Bioaccumulation factor) have shown that glyphosate does not bioaccumulate.
Degradation:
A degradation rate of glyphosate was determined in water after 30 days : 77.8%.
Product:
Small quantities: Low environmental hazard. Bury only in approved landfill.
Large quantities: Send to special chemical waste disposal facility or burn only in special, controlled high temperature incinerator. As far as possible recover and store any remaining
non-contaminated product in original packaging.
Container:
Triple rinse empty containers. Pour rinse water into spray tank. Empty containers to be disposed of as hazardous waste. Do not re-use containers. Do not contaminate waterways, ponds or ditches with waste product or container. All local and national regulations should be followed.
