DANGEROUS POISON
DILUTION
To assist in calibrating injectors, Chlorofume
can be mixed with lighting kerosene.
"SEALING IN" GAS
Immediately after injecting Chlorofume all soil
must be sealed (with plastic sheets or malthoid
on cracky ground) for 2 to 3 days. Generally it
is sealed by watering with a full flow of water so
top 20 mm becomes saturated and flows
together. Repeat watering as often as needed
to prevent escape of gas.
AERATION
After keeping "seal" intact for 2 to 3 days, allow
soil to dry. Cultivate with a clean implement to
break crust if needed and allow gas to escape.
Do not plant until gas odour is no longer present
in soil. Do not plant for at least 10 days after
end of treatment, longer periods are safer.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH,
CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or
waterways with the chemical or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in a locked room or place away from
children, animals, food, feedstuffs, seed and
fertilisers. Store in the closed, original container
in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store for
prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Empty
containers fully into application equipment. Close
all valves and return to point of supply for refill
or storage.
FOR SPILLS
Wear protective equipment. Absorb with sand
or earth. Collect and seal in properly labelled
drums.
FOR FIRE
Not combustible, but may detonate if heated
under confinement. Avoid breathing products of
decomposition.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS
Very dangerous. Product is poisonous if inhaled.
