FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid IF SWALLOWED: Call a poison control center, doctor or 1-800-441-3637 immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor. IF IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center, doctor, or 1-800-441-3637 immediately for treatment advice. IF ON SKIN OR CLOTHING: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center, doctor, or 1-800-441-3637 immediately for treatment advice. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties Flash Point : 103.3 C (217.9 F) Autoignition : 266.5 C (511.7 F) Extinguishing Media Water, Water Spray, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2. Fire Fighting Instructions Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective equipment. Runoff from fire control may be a pollution hazard. If area is exposed to fire and conditions permit, let fire burn itself out. Burning chemicals may produce by-products more toxic than the original material. If product is on fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Use water spray. Control runoff.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Safeguards (Personnel) NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up. Evacuate personnel, thoroughly ventilate area, use self-contained breathing apparatus. Emergency Response - Chemical resistant coveralls, waterproof gloves, waterproof boots and face/eye protection. If dusting occurs, use NIOSH approved respirator protection. Initial Containment Follow applicable Federal, State/Provincial and Local laws/ regulations. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or low areas. Spill Clean Up Soak up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material. Dispose of in an approved container.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling (Personnel) USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Avoid contact with clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash clothing after use. Storage Store product in original container only. Store in a well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Do not contaminate water, other pesticides, fertilizer, food or feed in storage. Do not store or consume food, drink or tobacco in areas where they may become contaminated with this material.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed. Personal Protective Equipment EYE/FACE PROTECTION Wear safety glasses. Wear coverall chemical splash goggles and face shield when the possibility exists for eye or face contact from airborne material. RESPIRATOR Respiratory protection should not be required for normal use and handling. During abnormal exposures or when there is a chance that the AEL will be exceeded, use of an approved respirator is recommended. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Where there is potential for skin contact, have available and wear as appropriate, impervious clothing such as gloves, apron, pants, coveralls.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Animal Data DPX-MP062 150SC Oral LD50: 3619 mg/kg in male rats Oral LD50: 751 mg/kg in female rats (Slight toxicity) Dermal LD50: >5000 mg/kg in rats (Slight toxicity) Inhalation 4 hour LC50: >2.7 mg/L in rats (Very low toxicity) DPX-MP062 150SC is a slight to mild skin irritant, and is a skin sensitizer, but is not an eye irritant in animals. DPX-MP062 150SC in high single oral doses caused gait abnormalities, incoordination, hypoactivity, convulsions, tremors, hypothermia, hair loss, labored respiration, ocular discharge, and vocalization in rats. Single oral dosing studies to assess potential neurotoxicity of DPX-MP062 were conducted in male and female rats. The NOEL for neurotoxicity was 100 mg/kg for male rats and 12.5 mg/kg for female rats. Repeated oral dosing with DPX-MP062 caused mild hemolytic anemia and reduced body weight gain in male and female rats; additionally, female rats experienced weakness and incoordination while male rats exhibited some changes in clinical chemical measurements. The No-Observed-Effect-Level (NOEL) in a 90-day repeated oral dosing study was 100 ppm for male rats and 25 ppm for female rats. Single inhalation exposure to DPX-MP062 150SC in rats caused lung noise immediately following exposure; no clinical signs were noted during the 14-day recovery period. Based on animal data from DPX-JW062 (50% KN128, Active Ingredient), the following chronic effects may occur in animals with DPX-MP062. Ingestion of DPX-JW062 by dogs for one-year caused hemolytic anemia with secondary histopathological changes and decreased body weights. The NOEL for both male and female dogs was 40 ppm. Effects in male and female rats that were fed DPX-JW062 in their diets for two-years include decreased body weight, in addition females also had some hemolysis. The NOEL for the two-year rat feeding study was 60 ppm for male rats and 40 ppm for female rats. Male and female mice fed DPX-JW062 for eighteen months had decreased body weight, in addition females showed signs of neurotoxicity, some mortality, and a few incidences of histopathologic changes in the brain (probably secondary to seizures). The NOEL for the eighteen month mouse feeding study was 20 ppm in male and female mice. Tests have shown that DPX-MP062 does not cause genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell cultures or in animals. Based on animal data from DPX-JW062 (50% KN128, Active Ingredient), DPX-MP062 is not considered a carcinogenic or reproductive hazard. DPX-MP062 is not considered a developmental hazard. The maternal and developmental NOEL was 2.0 mg/kg.
