Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

SWA Exposure Limits TWA (mg/m³) STEL (mg/m³) ADI (mg/m³) NOEL(mg/m³)
Thiram 1 not set 0.004 0.4

Exposure limits have not been set by SWA for other ingredients in product. The 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. There is a blanket limit of 10mg/m³ for dusts or mists when limits have not otherwise been established. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for 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. ADI means Acceptable Daily Intake and NOEL means No-observable-effect-level. Values taken from Australian ADI List, 31st March 2012

Section 11 - Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicological Information Tetramethylthiuram disulphide is harmful by ingestion and inhalation and by dermal absorption. Acute exposure in humans may cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, and other gastrointestinal complaints. Tetramethylthiuram disulphide is irritating to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. It is a skin sensitizer. Symptoms of acute inhalation exposure to Tetramethylthiuram disulphide include itching, scratchy throat, hoarseness, sneezing, coughing, inflammation of the nose or throat, bronchitis, dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, and other gastrointestinal complaints. Ingestion of Thiram and alcohol together may cause stomach pains, nausea, vomiting, headache, slight fever, and possible dermatitis. The 4-hour inhalation LC50 for Tetramethylthiuram disulphide is greater than 500 mg/L in rats. Reported oral LD50 values for Tetramethylthiuram disulphide are 620 to over 1900 mg/kg in rats; 1500 to 2000 mg/kg in mice; and 210 mg/kg in rabbits. The dermal LD50 is greater than 1000 mg/kg in rabbits and in rats Chronic Toxicological Information: Symptoms of chronic exposure to Tetramethylthiuram disulphide in humans include drowsiness, confusion, loss of sex drive, incoordination, slurred speech, and weakness, in addition to those due to acute exposure. Repeated or prolonged exposure to Tetramethylthiuram disulphide can also cause allergic reactions such as dermatitis, watery eyes, sensitivity to light, and conjunctivitis

Classification of Hazardous Ingredients

Ingredient Hazard Statements
Thiram Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed, Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure if swallowed, Irritating to eyes and skin, May cause sensitisation by skin contact.

Product Name: Thiram Liquid Fungicide Page: 5 of 6 This version issued: December 2021 SAFETY DATA SHEET Issued by: Australian Agribusiness (Holdings) Pty Ltd Phone: (office hours) Poisons Information Centre: 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia, (0800 764 766 in New Zealand)

Potential Health Effects Inhalation: Available data indicates that this product is harmful if inhaled Skin Contact: May cause sensitisation and irritation to skin. Classified as a potential sensitiser by skin contact. Exposure to a skin sensitiser, once sensitisation has occurred, may manifest itself as skin rash or inflammation, and in some individuals this reaction can be severe. In addition product may be irritating Eye Contact: This product is irritating to eyes Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed

Carcinogen Status: SWA: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by SWA. NTP: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NTP. IARC: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by IARC.

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects to the aquatic environment. This product is biodegradable. It will not accumulate in the soil or water or cause long term problems Effects On Birds: Thiram is practically nontoxic to birds. The reported dietary LC50 of Thiram in Japanese quail is greater that 5000 ppm. Reported dietary LC50 values in pheasants and mallard ducks are 2800 ppm and 673 ppm, respectively. The LD50 for the compound in red-winged blackbirds is greater than 100 mg/kg. Effects On Aquatic Organisms: Thiram is highly toxic to fish. The LC50 for the compound is 0.23 mg/L in bluegill sunfish, 0.13 mg/L in trout, and 4 mg/L in carp. Thiram is not expected to bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms. Effects On Other Organisms: Thiram is nontoxic to bees.

Environmental Fate: Soil And Groundwater: Thiram is of low to moderate persistence. It is nearly immobile in clay soils or in soils high in organic matter. Because it is only slightly soluble in water (30 mg/L) and has a strong tendency to adsorb to soil particles, Thiram is not expected to contaminate groundwater.. The major metabolites of Thiram in the soil are copper dimethyldithiocarbamate, dithiocarbamate, dimethylamine, and carbon disulfide. In soil, Thiram will be degraded by microbial action or by hydrolysis under acidic conditions. Thiram will not volatilize from wet or dry soil surfaces. Breakdown In Water: In water, Thiram is rapidly broken down by hydrolysis and photo degradation, especially under acidic conditions. Thiram may adsorb to suspended particles or to sediment. Breakdown In Vegetation: No data currently available.

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations

Disposal: Special help is available for the disposal of Agricultural Chemicals. The product label will give general advice regarding disposal of small quantities, and how to cleanse containers. However, for help with the collection of unwanted rural chemicals, contact ChemClear and for help with the disposal of empty drums, contact DrumMuster where you will find contact details for your area.
