Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients
| Ingredients | CAS No | Conc,% | TWA (mg/m³) | STEL (mg/m³) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terbacil | 5902-51-2 | 880g/kg | not set | not set |

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 4 - First Aid Measures General Information: You should call The Poisons Information Centre if you feel that you may have been poisoned, burned or irritated by this product. The number is 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) and is available at all times. Have this SDS with you when you call. Inhalation: First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Skin Contact: Gently brush away excess particles. Wash gently and thoroughly with water (use non-abrasive soap if necessary) for 5 minutes or until chemical is removed. Eye Contact: Quickly and gently brush particles from eyes. No effects expected. If irritation does occur, flush contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until the product is removed. Obtain medical advice if irritation becomes painful or lasts more than a few minutes. Take special care if exposed person is wearing contact lenses. Ingestion: If product is swallowed or gets in mouth, do NOT induce vomiting; wash mouth with water and give some water to drink. If symptoms develop, or if in doubt contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures Fire and Explosion Hazards: The major hazard in fires is usually inhalation of heated and toxic or oxygen deficient (or both), fire gases.

Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream on hot liquids. Fire decomposition products from this product may be toxic if inhaled. Take appropriate protective measures. Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water fog. Fire Fighting: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade. Flammability Class: No data.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. As a minimum, wear overalls, goggles and gloves. Suitable materials for protective clothing include cotton, rubber, PVC. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum, protective glasses and, preferably, goggles. If there is a significant chance that dusts are likely to build up in cleanup area, we recommend that you use a suitable Dust Mask. Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Consider vacuuming if appropriate. Recycle containers wherever possible after careful cleaning. Refer to product label for specific instructions. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services. Full details regarding disposal of used containers, spillage and unused material may be found on the label. If there is any conflict between this SDS and the label, instructions on the label prevail. Ensure legality of disposal by consulting regulations prior to disposal. Thoroughly launder protective clothing before storage or re-use. Advise laundry of nature of contamination when sending contaminated clothing to laundry.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information Local Effects: Target Organs: There is no data to hand indicating any particular target organs. Classification of Hazardous Ingredients Ingredient Health Hazard Statement Codes No ingredient mentioned in the HCIS Database is present in this product at hazardous concentrations. Terbacil: In a two year rat feeding study the no observable effect level was 50ppm. Heptacellular hypertrophy was transitory at 250ppm and persistent at the highest dose which was escalated step-wise from 2,500 to 10,000ppm during the study. Decrease body weight was also noted at 2,500 - 10,000 ppm. No evidence of compound related oncogenicity was observed. In a 2 year mouse feeding study, the no-observable effect level was 50 ppm. Heptacellular hypertrophy was noted in males at 1,250 ppm and in both males and females at the highest dose which was increased from 5,000 to 7,000 at week 54. An increased incidence of hyperplastic liver nodules was also noted in males at 5,000 - 7,500 ppm. No compound related oncogenic effects were observed. In a 2-year dog feeding study the no observable effect level was 250 ppm; a slight increase in relative liver weight was noted at the highest dose which escalated stepwise from 2,500 to 10,000 ppm during the study. No adverse on rat reproduction or lactation performance was observed during a 3-generation, 6 litter study at 0, 50 and 250 ppm. No abnormal histopathology was noted on examination of the F3B litters at weaning. In a rat dietary study at 0, 250, 1,250 and 5,000 ppm, Terbacil was not teratogenic at any dose tested but produced embryotoxic effects at 1,250 and 5,000 ppm. Human health effects of overexposure by eye contact may initially include eye irritation and discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision. Based on data from animal tests ingestion of high doses may cause abnormal liver function as detected by laboratory tests. Sulfometuron methyl: Chronic Toxicity Oral feeding – NOEL in rat (2 year) 50 ppm; not oncogenic NOEL in dog 200 ppm; anaemia; haemolytic effect on erythrocytes at 1000ppm and 5000 ppm. Reproduction NOEL in rat 500 ppm (2-gen); decreased bodyweight and pup counts at 5000ppm.
