Rinse eyes immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes and obtain medical aid. Ingestion
Wash out mouth with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Keep patient at rest and seek medical advice as above. First Aid Facilities
Ensure eyewash and shower facilities are available. Medical attention
Local contamination: Treatment should be symptomatic after decontamination. In case of skin or eye contamination, treat as above under First Aid Measures. Systemic poisoning: There is no specific antidote. Treat symptoms. An aqueous suspension of activated charcoal may be administered to absorb remaining toxicant.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media
Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, sand Hazards from
In a fire, formation of hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen fluoride, carbon combustion products monoxide and nitrogen oxides can be expected.
Precautions for fire
Fire fighters should wear full protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus fighters
(AS/NZS 1715/1716). Keep unnecessary people away. If it can be done safely, remove intact containers from the fire. Bund area with sand or earth to prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Dispose of extinguishing agent and spil age safely later. Hazchem code

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION continued

Chronic:
NOHSC has classified tebuconazole as having a possible risk of harm to the unborn child, but as Raxil T Dry Seed
Dressing contains less than 5% tebuconazole, it is not classified as hazardous on this basis. Tebuconazole was not
mutagenic or genotoxic in a battery of in vitro and in vivo mutagenicity studies.
Triflumuron had no mutagenic activity in various in vitro and in vivo tests.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Raxil T Dry Seed Dressing is harmful to fish and aquatic arthropods. DO NOT feed treated seed or otherwise expose to
wildlife or domestic birds. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical, used containers,
treated seed or bags which have held treated seed.
Ecotoxicity
Tebuconazole: Fish toxicity: LC50 (96 h) bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) 5.7 mg/L LC50 (96 h) rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) 4.4 mg/L Daphnia toxicity: LC50 (48 h) water flea (Daphnia magna) 4.2 mg/L Algal toxicity: ErC50 (72 h) green algae (Selenastrum capricornutum) 3.8 mg/L Triflumuron: Fish toxicity: LC50 (96 h) rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) > 320 mg/L Daphnia toxicity: EC50 (48 h) water flea (Daphnia magna) 0.225 mg/L Algal toxicity: ErC50 (96 h) green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus) > 25 mg/L Bird toxicity: LD50 bobwhite quail 561 mg/kg Environmental fate,
The photolysis/metabolism half-life of tebuconazole is 2-3 months in natural water. It is strongly persistence and
bound to soil and has low mobility. Tebuconazole bioconcentration factor (BCF): 78 degradability,
Triflumuron degrades fairly rapidly in soil. Triflumuron bioconcentration factor (BCF): 612 mobility

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Product and original container
When returnable container is empty or contents no longer required return it to the point of purchase. For non-returnable
containers, triple or (preferably) pressure rinse them before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of
undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point.
