HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS

DANGER. Fatal if absorbed through skin. Corrosive. Causes skin burns and irreversible eye damage. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. May be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Do not breathe vapor or spray mist. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are barrier laminate or viton ≥ 14 mils. Handlers applying via weed sprayer (see Terms used in this labeling section) while irrigation system is operating or handlers who may be exposed to liquid spray while repairing a malfunctioning chemigation system or shutting off equipment must wear: • Chemical-resistant coveralls over long-sleeve shirt and long pants, • Chemical-resistant gloves, • Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, • Chemical-resistant headgear, and • Respirator of the type specified in the respiratory protection section in the PPE requirements on this label. Handlers wearing chemical-resistant attire are limited to 30 minutes of exposure in any 60-minute period to prevent heat illness, and, as required by the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides, employers of these handlers must take any necessary steps to avoid heat illness. Except as required above, handlers transferring or loading liquid formulations, handlers operating motorized ground equipment with open cabs, handlers repairing or inactivating irrigation or chemigation equipment during application, and handlers cleaning up spills or equipment must wear: • Coveralls over long-sleeve shirt and long pants, • Chemical-resistant gloves, • Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, • Chemical-resistant apron if transferring or loading the fumigant or cleaning up spills or equipment, • Protective eyewear, and • Respirator of the type specified in the PPE requirements for respiratory protection section in the PPE requirements on this label if triggered. All other handlers including handlers operating motorized ground equipment with closed cabs (except for handlers who set up and calibrate chemigation and irrigation equipment and start the application from inside the application block) as stated in this labeling must wear: • Long-sleeve shirt and long pants, • Shoes plus socks, and • Respirator of the type specified in the respiratory protection section in the PPE requirements on this label if triggered. All handlers who set-up and calibrate chemigation and irrigation equipment and start the application from inside the application block must wear: • Long-sleeve shirt and long pants, • Shoes plus socks, • Protective eyewear, and • Respirator of the type specified in the respiratory protection section in the PPE requirements on this label if triggered.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) FOR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION When an air-purifying respirator is required under this label’s Directions for Use, Protection for Handlers, Respiratory Protection and/or Stop Work Triggers section, handlers must wear at minimum either: • A NIOSH-certified full facepiece air-purifying respirator equipped with an organic vapor (OV, NIOSH approval prefix TC-23C) cartridge and a particulate pre-filter (Type N, R, P, or HE, NIOSH approval number prefix TC-84A), or • A gas mask with a canister approved for organic vapor (NIOSH approval number prefix TC-14G). Cartridges or canisters must be replaced when odor or sensory irritation from this product becomes apparent during use, if the measured concentration of MITC is greater than 6000 ppb (6 ppm), or, in the absence of any other instructions or indications of service life, at the end of each day’s work period, whichever occurs first.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Disposal

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

STORAGE: Do not expose to extreme temperatures. Do not stack more than four drums high. Leaking or damaged drums should be placed in overpack drums for disposal. Spills should be absorbed in sawdust or sand and disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Keep container closed when not in use.

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide spray mixture or rinsate is a violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Protection Agency or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional office for guidance.

CONTAINER HANDLING: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling if appropriate. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container ¼ full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank. Repeat this procedure two more times. Refillable container. Refill this container with sodium or potassium methyldithiocarbamate only. Do not reuse this container for any other purpose. Cleaning the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller. To clean the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this container into application equipment or mix tank.
