This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are also possible. The SWA TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that may be equalled (but should not be exceeded) for no longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information Local Effects: Target Organs: There is no data to hand indicating any particular target organs. Classification of Hazardous Ingredients Ingredient Risk Phrases No ingredient mentioned in the HSIS Database is present in this product at hazardous concentrations. Acute toxicity: MCPA acid is harmful by ingestion, with reported oral LD50 values for the technical product in rats ranging from 700 mg/kg to 1160 mg/kg and in mice from 550 to 800 mg/kg. It is harmful via the dermal route as well, with reported dermal LD50 values ranging from greater than 1000 mg/kg in rats to greater than 4000 mg/kg in rabbits. Chronic toxicity: Dietary levels of approximately 50 mg/kg/day and 125 mg/kg/day over 7 months caused reduced feeding rates and retarded growth rates in rats. White blood cell counts and ratios were not affected, but some reductions in red blood cell counts and haemoglobin did appear to be associated with exposure to MCPA at oral dose levels of approximately 20 mg/kg/day. In the same study, oral doses of approximately 5 mg/kg/day caused increased relative kidney weights, and oral doses of approximately 20 mg/kg/day caused increased relative liver weights.

Product Name: Silverado Herbicide Page: 5 of 6 This version issued: June, 2024 SAFETY DATA SHEET Issued by: Turf Culture Pty Ltd Phone: 8873 Poisons Information Centre: 13 11 26 from anywhere in Australia

Another study in rats showed no effects on kidney or liver weights over an unspecified period at oral doses of 60 mg/kg/day, but oral doses of 150 mg/kg/day did cause reversible increases in these weights over a course of 3 months. Very high dermal doses of 500 mg/kg/day caused reduced body weight, and even higher dermal doses of 1000 and 2000 mg/kg/day resulted in increased mortality and observable changes in liver, kidney, spleen, and thymus tissue. Reproductive effects: A two-generation rat study at doses of up to 15 mg/kg/day affected reproductive function. It is unlikely that humans will experience these effects under normal exposure conditions. Teratogenic effects: Offspring of pregnant rats fed low to moderate doses of MCPA (20 to 125 mg/kg) on days 6 to 15 of gestation, had no birth defects. Teratogenic effects in humans are unlikely at expected exposure levels. Mutagenic effects: MCPA is reportedly weakly mutagenic to bone marrow and ovarian cells of hamsters, but negative results were reported for other mutagenic tests. It seems the compound poses little or no mutagenic risk. Carcinogenic effects: All of the available evidence on MCPA indicates that the compound does not cause cancer. Forestry and agricultural workers occupationally exposed to MCPA in Sweden did not show increased cancer incidence. Organ toxicity: Target organs identified in animal studies include the liver, kidneys, spleen. and thymus. Farm worker exposure has resulted in reversible anaemia, muscular weakness, digestive problems, and slight liver damage. Fate in humans and animals: MCPA is rapidly absorbed and eliminated from mammalian systems. Rats eliminated nearly all of a single oral dose within 24 hours, mostly though urine with little or no metabolism. Humans excreted about half of a 5 mg dose in the urine within a few days. No residues were found after day 5. Carfentrazone Ethyl Ester: LD50 Oral, Rat >5000mg/kg LD50 Dermal, Rabbit = >5000mg/kg LC50 Inhalation, Rat = >5.72mg/L/4hr SKIN: Non-irritant. Not a skin sensitiser (guinea pig). EYES: Mild irritant (rabbit). In studies using laboratory animals Carfentrazone-ethyl did not cause reproductive, developmental nor carcinogenic effects. Negative in in vitro tests for genotoxicity.

Section 12 - Ecological Information Insufficient data to be sure of status. Effects on birds: MCPA is moderately toxic to wildfowl; the LD50 of MCPA in bobwhite quail is 377 mg/kg. Effects on aquatic organisms: MCPA is only slightly toxic to freshwater fish, with reported LC50 values ranging from 117 to 232 mg/L in rainbow trout. MCPA is practically nontoxic to freshwater invertebrates, and estuarine and marine organisms. Effects on other organisms: It is nontoxic to bees, with a reported oral LD50 of 104μg/bee. Environmental Fate: Breakdown in soil and groundwater: MCPA and its formulations are rapidly degraded by soil microorganisms and it has low persistence, with a reported field half-life of 14 days to 1 month, depending on soil moisture and soil organic matter. MCPA and its formulations show little affinity for soil. Breakdown in water: It is relatively stable to light breakdown , but can be rapidly broken down by microorganisms. In rice paddy water, MCPA is almost totally degraded by aquatic microorganisms in under 2 weeks. Breakdown in vegetation: MCPA is readily absorbed and translocated in most plants. It is actively broken down in plants, the major metabolite being 2-methyl-4-chlorophenol. Carfentrazone-ethyl is rapidly degraded in soils under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The half life in soil is 1-2 days. It is rapidly hydrolysed at pH 9 but stable at pH 5. Field studies show that Carfentrazone-ethyl has low mobility in soil. Aquatic toxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioconcentration factor in fish of 167. Risk of bioaccumulation in an aquatic species is low. Log Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient: 3.36 Birds: LD50 bobwhite quail: >1000mg/kg Fish: LC50 fish: 1.6-43mg/L Bees: LD50 >35µg/bee Daphnia: EC50 9.8mg/L
