Patient Information leaflet

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
Do not allow stock access to treated water for 48 hours after the
injection of MAGNACIDE H Herbicide has ceased.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEA AND ENVIRONMENT
This product is toxic to fish and wildlife. Keep out of lakes, rivers,
streams or ponds. Fish, shrimp and other aquatic species will be
killed at application rates
recommended. Do not apply where commercial aquatic operations may be
affected. Do not apply to or allow water contaminated with the product
to enter
water drainage areas where runoff or flooding will contaminate ponds,
lakes, rivers, streams, tidal marshes and estuaries.
Water treated with MAGNACIDE H Herbicide may be used for irrigation at
any time. If treated water is to be used for other purposes, do not
release it from
the treated channels for at least 48 hours after an injection of
MAGNACIDE H Herbicide has ceased. Regardless of use, treated water
must remain on-farm
or in the irrigation system for a total of 72 hours from the time an
injection of MAGNACIDE H Herbicide has ceased.
NOTE: To minimize tailwater generation, treated water should not be
used to irrigate soil that is at field capacity.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store container in a locked enclosure away from children, animals,
food, feedstuffs, seed and fertilisers. Store away from all other
chemicals.
Do not dispose of undiluted chemical on site. Do not burn empty
container or product. Empty containers must have all valves closed and
secured (locked)
prior to transport to the point of supply for return to Baker
Petrolite.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. Do not puncture or
incinerate container. Acrolein, the active ingredient in MAGNACIDE

H Herbicide, is
highly reactive chemically and readily forms polymers. If alkalies
(such as ammonia and caustic) or strong acids are brought in contact
with MAGNACIDE H
Herbicide in a closed system, the herbicide can polymerise with
sufficient violence to rupture the container. Do not apply with
equipment used for acids

2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
HAZARD ID
Highly flammable. Very toxic by inhalation. Causes burns. May cause
sensitisation by skin contact. Toxic in contact with skin
and if swallowed. Very toxic to aquatic organisms.
Overexposure to vapours may be fatal. Inhalation exposure studies have
determined the rat LC50 to be 26 ppm at one hour
exposure and at four hour exposure to be 8.3 ppm. The NIOSH IDLH
(Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) value is 2
ppm. The primary route of exposure is inhalation; acute exposure may
result in lacrimation, tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, and
lung injury (at 20 ppm). The low odour detection (0.03 - 0.21 ppm) and
irritation threshold (0.25 - 0.5 ppm) and acutely irritating
effects of acrolein usually prevent chronic toxicity effects. Splashes
to the eye may result in blepharoconjunctivitis (bloodshot
eyes), lid oedema, fibrinous or pustular discharge, and deep or
long-lasting corneal injury. See Section 11 for additional
information.
ENVIRONMENT
This product is very toxic to aquatic organisms.
