PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
<br />HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
<br />Warning. May be fatal if inhaled. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not breathe spray mist.
<br />Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
<br />Mixers, loaders, applicators and all other handlers must wear:
<br />• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants;
<br />• Shoes plus socks;
<br />• Protective eye wear;
<br />• Chemical -resistant gloves made of waterproof material, such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or viton.
<br />• A NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor (01) cartridge or canister with any N, R, P, or HE prefilter.
<br />Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
<br />Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's concentrate. DO NOT reuse them.
<br />Engineering Controls
<br />When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR
<br />170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
<br />USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
<br />Users should:
<br />• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
<br />• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
<br />• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
<br />This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and wildlife. DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark.
<br />Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
<br />Chlorothalonil can contaminate surface water through spray drift. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Under some conditions, it may also have a high
<br />potential for runoff into surface water for several days to weeks after application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters,
<br />frequently flooded areas, areas overlaying extremely shallow ground water, areas with in -field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters
<br />with vegetated filter strips, and areas over -laying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.
<br />Chlorothalonil degradates are known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this product in areas where soils are permeable, partic-
<br />ularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
<br />DIRECTIONS FOR USE
<br />It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
<br />DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, or pets, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during applications. For
<br />any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the Agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
<br />DO NOT use on home lawns and turf sites associated with apartment buildings, daycare centers, playgrounds, recreational park athletic fields, athletic fields located on or next to schools
<br />(ie., elementary, middle and high schools), campgrounds, churches, and theme parks.
<br />AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
<br />Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricul-
<br />tural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency
<br />assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted -entry interval (REI).
<br />The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
<br />DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 12 hours.
<br />PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or
<br />water, is: coveralls, chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof materials, shoes plus socks, and protective eyewear.
<br />Special Eye Irritation Provisions: This product is a severe eye irritant. Although the restricted -entry interval expires after 12 hours, for the next 6'/2 days entry is permitted only when the
<br />following safety measures are provided:
<br />At least one container designed specifically for flushing eyes must be available in operating condition at the WPS-required decontamination site intended for workers entering the treated area.
<br />Workers must be informed, in a manner they can understand:
<br />• that residues in the treated area may be highly irritating to their eyes;
<br />• that they must take precautions, such as refraining from rubbing their eyes, to keep the residues out of their eyes;
<br />• that if they do get residues in their eyes, they must immediately flush their eyes using the eyeflush container that is located at the decontamination site or using other readily available
<br />clean water; and
<br />• how to operate the eyeflush container.
<br />NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
<br />The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR part 170):
<br />Do not enter or allow others to enter into treated areas until spray deposits have dried.
