Wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes, and gloves.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Mixers and loaders using aerial application must wear:
• coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• waterproof gloves
• chemical-resistant footwear
• socks
• a chemical-resistant apron
All other mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers, and other handlers must wear:
• long-sleeved shirt
• long pants
• shoes and socks, and
• waterproof gloves (except applicators and flaggers)
See engineering controls section for additional requirements and options. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Discard clothing or other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. Do not reuse them.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard [WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. Enclosed Cockpits for Aerial Applicators Engineering Controls: Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)].
Important: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “Applicators and Other Handlers” and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency such as a spill or equipment breakdown.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Users should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside; then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Fluometuron is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions, including karst, geology areas, as a result of registered uses. Use of this product in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
Groundwater advisory
Do not apply within 100 feet of any well used for potable water. Do not apply to fields with dewatering or agricultural drainage wells. Do not apply this product within 100 feet from the edge of areas containing karst topographical features containing sinkholes, caverns, springs, and sinking or disappearing streams. Where groundwater aquifers exist at a depth of 30 feet or less from the surface, do not apply this product where soils are Hydrologic Group A.
