  The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
  The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.

  SVHC is a substance (identified by the European Chemicals Agency) that may have serious and often irreversible effects on human health and the environment. SVHC are defined in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (“the REACH Regulation”) and include substances which are:
  1.  Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or in category 1a or 1b in accordance with EC No 1272/2008This directive was recently replaced by the new EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
  2.  Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation, or
  3.  Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (e.g. endocrine disrupters).

  Hazard Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). There are 4 categories of Hazard Codes:

  • Physical Hazard Codes (H200 series)
  • Health Hazard Codes (H300 series)
  • Environmental Hazard Codes (H400 series)
  • Supplementary Hazard Codes (EUH series)

  Hazard Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

    • Warnings

      PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT: HAZARD TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS. CAUTION: May be harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid breathing spray mist. Wash thoroughly after use and before eating or smoking. Avoid contaminating of feed and foodstuffs. Do not permit children or pets on the treatment areas until this material has dried completely. Food utensils such as teaspoons and measuring cups should not be used for food purposes after use with pesticide. STATEMENT OF PRACTICAL TREATMENT: Swallowed: Contact a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING UNLESS UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION. Product contains xylene range petroleum distillate which may cause aspiration pneumonia. Inhaled: Remove victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if indicated. Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with soap and water. Eyes: flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists. NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: this product may contain cholinesterase inhibitor. Atropine is antidotal. 2-PAM may be effective as an adjunct to atropine. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: This product is toxic to fish, birds and wildlife. Birds and other wildlife feeding on treatment areas may be killed. Do not apply directly to water. Do not apply when weather ...etc. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment. This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residue on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area. POISON OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Do not use, pour, spill or store near heat or open flame. NOTICE: Buyer assumes all responsibility for use not in accordance with directions. Bar Code: 0-78493-00182-8

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated inhalation exposure to the product vapor or spray mist may be harmful. Eye Contact: The undiluted product is moderately irritating to the eyes. Eye contact may include discomfort, tearing, swelling, redness, and blurred vision. Skin Contact: The substance is a moderate skin irritant. Skin irritation may include discomfort, redness, swelling, and possibly blistering. If absorbed through the skin, this substance is considered practically non-toxic to internal organs. Ingestion: Depending upon the amount of product swallowed, this substance can produce signs and symptoms of systemic poisoning. In addition the product contains a petroleum solvent that can directly enter the lungs if it is swallowed (this is called aspiration). This can occur during the act of swallowing or when vomiting the substance. Once in the lungs, the petroleum solvent is very difficult to remove and can cause severe injury to the lungs and death. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None known. Persons with depressed cholinesterase levels or hemolytic anemia, or who are under treatment with morphine, theophylline, aminophylline or phenothiazine drugs may show pronounced effects from exposure to this product. Comments: Depending on the extent and degree of overexposure to the product, signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition can result following either ingestion, skin contact or inhalation routes of exposure. Signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition can also result from either acute (one time), subchronic (repeated short-term) and chronic (daily life-time) overexposure to the product. Signs and symptoms of cholinesterase inhibition usually occur within 12 hours following overexposure. These effects may include, but may not be limited to, headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constriction of the pupil of the eye, blurred or dark vision, excessive salivation or nasal discharge, profuse sweating and abdominal cramps. Incontinence, unconsciousness, convulsions and breathing difficulties are indicative of severe poisoning. In untreated severe poisoning, death is due to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. This product contains a petroleum distillate. Depending on the degree of overexposure, the systemic toxicity of the product may be of less concern than the potential clinical complications that can result from aspiration of the petroleum distillate into the lungs if the product is either swallowed or vomited.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS The health effects from chronic exposure are similar to those for acute overexposure (which see).

    • Carcinogenicity

      From MSDS The potential carcinogen status of this substance is not known. None of the components in this product are listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as a potential carcinogen.

    • Handling information

      From MSDS Store in a cool, dry place. Keep in original container and preferably in a locked storage area. Keep away from heat and open flame.
