Chemical Name: Azoxystrobin
Common Uses: Widely relied on in farming and landscaping for knocking out fungus on crops like cereals, grapes, potatoes, and vegetables
Appearance: White to beige powder or granules depending on formulation
Odor: Slight to none
Main Function: Fungicide for crop protection, keeping mildew, rust, and several other mold-related issues in check
Hazard Classes: Irritant to skin and eyes, may cause sensitization for some, environmental risks linger especially in aquatic ecosystems
Pictograms: Irritant and environmental hazard symbols
Common Exposure Risks: Skin contact, inhalation during mixing or spraying, accidental ingestion
Potential Harm: Eye redness, skin rashes, nausea, headaches, harmful for fish and crustaceans at low concentrations
Main Ingredient: Azoxystrobin (active component, usually between 20% and 50% depending on formulation)
Other Ingredients: Solvents, dispersants, surfactants; proprietary minor ingredients that aid delivery but may present their own health and environment concerns
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes under gentle running water for 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if used
Skin Contact: Wash off thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing straight away
Inhalation: Bring the person to fresh air, help breathing if trouble occurs
Ingestion: Give water to dilute, avoid forcing vomiting, consult medical help as symptoms can creep up
Medical Attention: Always needed if irritation persists, or exposure was significant
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, and water spray for large volumes
Protective Gear: Firefighters should suit up with NIOSH-approved breathing protection
Hazardous Byproducts: Burning releases fumes including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and cyanide compounds
Fire-Specific Advice: Avoid breathing smoke, stay upwind, cordon off the scene to limit secondary exposure
Spill Response: Contain spills fast, avoid runoff into drains or water bodies
Cleanup Method: Scoop material into labeled containers for disposal, scrub area with detergent and water; ventilate space
Protective Measures: Use gloves, eye protection, and if dust builds up—a mask
Environmental Precautions: Always prevent product from leaching into soil and rivers; use absorbent materials to help soak up liquid spills
Handling: Wear protective clothing, avoid eating or drinking around the active substance, keep containers covered and dry
Storage: Lock away from direct sunlight, humidity, food, and animal feed, use sturdy, labeled containers
Incompatible Conditions: Steer clear of strong acids, bases, and oxidizers; avoid extreme temperatures
PPE Recommendations: Gloves, goggles or special safety glasses, respirator if working near dust or spray, coveralls for heavy exposure
Engineering Controls: Work outdoors or in well-ventilated sheds, install exhaust fans if using inside
Hygiene Measures: Always wash hands and arms after tasks, never use contaminated clothes again
Exposure Limits: Official OELs rarely set, but keep exposure to a minimum as a general rule
Physical State: Solid (powder or granules), occasionally in liquid suspension
Melting Point: About 116°C for pure azoxystrobin
Boiling Point: Not applicable, decomposes at high heat rather than boiling
Solubility: Low in water, higher in organic solvents (acetone, xylene)
Vapor Pressure: Low, not prone to evaporation
pH: Usually neutral to slightly acidic solutions
Chemical Stability: Stable if kept dry, away from extreme conditions
Decomposition Risks: At temperatures above 200°C, breaks down into toxic gases
Dangerous Reactions: Unlikely unless mixed with strong acids, bases or oxidizers
Material Incompatibility: Avoid mixing with chemicals that could enhance breakdown or combustion
Acute Effects: Mild to moderate irritation on skin and eyes, nausea or dizziness if swallowed or inhaled
Sensitization: Some people develop skin allergies after repeated contact
Chronic Effects: Animal studies show possible liver and reproductive impacts in lab rats at very high levels, rarely mirrored in typical workplace exposure
Carcinogenicity: No confirmed human cancer risk
Aquatic Toxicity: Highly toxic to fish and invertebrates, persists in water for several days
Plant Effects: Helpful for approved crops but run-off can impact neighboring plants, especially wildflowers and aquatic plants
Soil Mobility: Moderately mobile; use buffer zones to limit spread
Bioaccumulation: Observed in aquatic organisms, so best practice is careful use and runoff control
Product Disposal: Incinerate or manage as hazardous chemical waste according to local rules, never dump down drains or into bare soil
Container Disposal: Rinse well, puncture or crush to prevent reuse, send to approved landfill or incinerate
UN Number: Not all formulations classified as dangerous, but some may fall under hazardous goods during bulk shipping
Labels: Environmental and irritant hazard symbols often required
Packing Group: Consult carrier regulations for specific guidance
Precautions: Secure tightly in transit, keep away from food and animal feed, avoid water contact
Pesticide Registration: Registered in most major agricultural countries, subject to strict maximum residue regulations on food
Worker Protection Rules: Legal use often demands protective gear and restricted entry to treated fields for several hours
Environmental Laws: Limits on application near water, buffer zones required, national authorities frequently update guidance to reflect new research
