Ingredient Breakdown:
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop such as coughing, shortness of breath or wheezing.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash exposed skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a physician.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15-20 minutes, lifting eyelids. If irritation persists, obtain medical care.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth thoroughly with water, give small amount of water to drink only if person is conscious. Get medical help immediately and show label.
Notes for Healthcare Providers: Treat symptomatically. There is no known specific antidote. Monitor for signs of central nervous system stimulation (convulsions, tremors) and address accordingly.
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or foam. Water spray may be used to cool containers but avoid direct water jets on product.
Hazardous Combustion Products: May emit toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, and carbon monoxide.
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
Fire & Explosion Hazards: Product is not highly flammable but powder may form explosive mixtures with air at sufficient concentrations. Containers can burst if heated.
Advice for Firefighters: Isolate hazard area, keep out unnecessary persons, contain runoff if possible. Avoid inhalation of dust, smoke, or combustion products.
Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Use personal protective equipment including gloves, mask, goggles. Evacuate area if significant spill occurs.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter soil, drains, surface water, or groundwater. Notify authorities if spillage has entered watercourses or sewers.
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled material using a method that minimizes dust (shovel, vacuum with HEPA filter), place in labeled and sealed container for disposal. Wash spill site after material removal.
Reference to Other Sections: See Exposure Controls for guidance on protective equipment and Disposal Considerations for waste handling.
Handling Practices: Avoid breathing dust or contact with skin and eyes. Use only in well-ventilated areas or with local exhaust. Wash thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing before entering eating areas.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Keep away from direct sunlight, food, beverages, and animal feed. Lock away from unauthorized personnel and children.
Incompatibilities: Avoid strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents. Do not store near fertilizers, pesticides, or foodstuffs.
Specific End Uses: Agricultural pesticide, veterinary parasite treatment. Never reuse empty containers; triple rinse and dispose following local protocols.
Exposure Limits: No established workplace exposure limits for nitenpyram. General dust limit: OSHA PEL (TWA) Total Dust 15 mg/m³, Respirable Fraction 5 mg/m³.
Engineering Controls: Use exhaust ventilation to control airborne concentrations. Eye wash stations and safety showers recommended near work area.
PPE - Eye Protection: Tight-fitting safety goggles or face shield.
PPE - Skin Protection: Chemical resistant gloves (PVC, nitrile, or neoprene), long-sleeved clothing, closed footwear.
PPE - Respiratory Protection: When handling powders or sprays, use NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator in poorly ventilated areas.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, and exposed skin after handling and before meals, smoking, or toilet use.
