  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.

  Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance. Chemical	Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture.  CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org We have assigned "ID numbers" (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x , 888888-xx-x) or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.  CAS No./ID	Percent of chemical in preparation. % Conc.

   UN Global Harmonization Classification

  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.

  Precautionary Code

  Pictogram

  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).

    • Warnings

      PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
      HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
      CAUTION
      Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Avoid breathing spray mist or contact with skin, eyes or clothing. May be absorbed through skin. Do not use on humans. For indoor use only in greenhouses. When used indoors use only with adequate ventilation. After using this product indoors, ventilate thoroughly before occupying enclosed spaces. Do not allow contact with treated surface until sprays have dried.
      ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
      This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and aquatic life stages of amphibians. Do not apply directly to water. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in areas near the application site. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment 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.

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS
      ROUTES OF ENTRY: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion.
      SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
      Active ingredient is a cholinesterase inhibitor of low mammalian toxicity. May cause eye and/or skin irritation. Vapors may irritate eyes. Prolonged skiing and/or eye contact may result in material being absorbed in harmful amounts. Single dose oral toxicity is moderate: however, ingestion of larger amounts may cause serious injury. Inhalation of excessive amounts may cause upper respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, incoordination, drowsiness and unconsciousness.

      MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Any disease, medication, or prior exposure which reduces normal cholinesterase activity may increase the susceptibility to the toxic effect of the active ingredient.

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS
      Repeated exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors may, without warning, cause increased susceptibility to doses of any other cholinesterase inhibitor. Kidney and liver damage is possible from exposure to xylenes over long periods.

    • Carcinogenicity

      Not listed as carcinogen by IARC, NTP and OSHA.

    • Handling information

      Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash after handling. Do not contaminate water by disposal of equipment washwaters. Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and animals.

    • Disposal information

      Dispose according to EPA procedures as outlined in RCRA. Follow local and state requirements. This product is toxic to fish, bees, aquatic invertebrates and aquatic life stages of amphibians.

    • First Aid

      INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Consult a physician if symptoms or irritation develops.
      SKIN: Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Call a physician if irritation persists. Launder clothing before reuse.
      INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician and/or transport to an emergency facility. EYES: Irrigate immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult a physician.
      NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Active ingredient is a cholinesterase inhibitor affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems and producing cardiac and respiratory depression. Atropine sulfate in large doses is an antidote. Two to four mg intravenously or intramuscularly as soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to 10 minutes intervals until signs of atropinization appear. 2-PAM chloride is a pharmacological antidote and may be administered as an adjunct to, but not a substitute for atropine, which is a symptomatic and often lifesaving antidote. DO NOT GIVE MORPHINE OR TRANQUILIZERS. At first sign of pulmonary edema, the patient should be given supplemental oxygen and treated symptomatically. Continued absorption of Malathion may occur and relapse may occur after initial improvement. Very close supervision of the patient is indicated for at least 48 hours.
