Description of first aid measures
If inhaledMove the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

no data available
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Skin decontamination. Skin contamination should be treated promptly by washing with soap and water. Contamination of the eyes should be treated immediately by prolonged flushing of the eyes with large amounts of clean water. If dermal or ocular irritation persists, medical attention should be obtained without delay. Other herbicides
Extinguishing media
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
no data available
Advice for firefighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
Precautions for safe handling
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage ... Store in a cool, dry place. Store in original container. In case of leak or spill, contain material and dispose as waste. Technical ethafluralin

Exposure controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protectionWear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Lepomis macrochirus (Bluegill); Conditions: freshwater, flow through; Concentration: 102 ug/L for 96 hr (95% confidence interval: 75-138 ug/L) /95.6% purity
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea, age <24 hr); Conditions: freshwater, renewal; Concentration: 18.1 ug/L for 48 hr (95% confidence interval: 16.6-19.8 ug/L); Effect: intoxication, immobilization /36.5% purity
- Toxicity to algae: EC50; Species: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Green algae); Conditions: freshwater, static; Concentration: 25.3 ug/L for 7 days; Effect: population abundance /95.6% purity
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Ethalfluralin applied to a sandy loam soil at 3 mg/kg had a half-life of 46 days under aerobic conditions(1). The concentration of ethalfluralin decreased from 84.4% immediately posttreatment, to 49% at 0.9 months and finally to 1.3% of the applied amount at 9 months post application(1). Ethalfluralin applied at a concentration of 0.166 mg/L degraded with a half-life of approximately 2 days in an outdoor pond(2). Ethalfluralin applied to a bare ground uncropped silty clay field in Illinois, dissipated with a half-life of 23 days(1). Ethalfluralin applied to an uncropped sandy loam field in Georgia, dissipated with a field half-life of 28 days(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values of 1520 (edible tissue), 860 (non-edible tissue), and 1180 (whole fish) were measured in rainbow trout exposed to 0.86 ng/mL of ethalfluralin in a flow-through aquarium over a 28-day exposure period(1). Depuration was rapid, with an elimination half-life of about 3 days when fish were placed in ethalfluralin free water(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc value of ethalfluralin ranged from 4100 to 8400 in 4 soils(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these Koc values indicate that ethalfluralin should have slight to no mobility in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
Disposal methods
ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
