Store away from farm chemicals e.g. insecticides, fungicides and herbicides

Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits TWA (mg/m³) STEL (mg/m³) ADI (mg/Kg/day) NOEL (mg/Kg/day)

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
