Emergency Overview
Physical Description & Colour: Light yellow suspension. Odour: Characteristic odour. Major Health Hazards: may cause serious damage to health by prolonged exposure, harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed, possible skin sensitiser.
Section 3 - Composition/information on Ingredients
| Ingredients | CAS No | Conc,% | TWA ($mg/m^3$) | STEL ($mg/m^3$) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fipronil | 120068-37-3 | 100g/L | not set | not set |
| Other non hazardous ingredients | various | to 100% | not set | not set |
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are also possible.
The SWA TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that may be equalled (but should not be exceeded) for no longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
General Information: You should call The Poisons Information Centre if you feel that you may have been poisoned, burned or irritated by this product. The number is 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) and is available at all times. Have this SDS with you when you call.
Inhalation: If symptoms of poisoning become evident, contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor at once. Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be beneficial if administered by trained personnel, preferably on a doctor's advice. DO NOT allow victim to move about unnecessarily. Symptoms of pulmonary oedema can be delayed up to 48 hours after exposure.
Skin Contact: Wash gently and thoroughly with warm water (use non-abrasive soap if necessary) for 10-20 minutes or until product is removed. Under running water, remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g. watchbands and belts) and completely decontaminate them before reuse or discard.
Eye Contact: First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. Take special care if exposed person is wearing contact lenses.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Wash mouth with water and contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Fire and Explosion Hazards: There is no risk of an explosion from this product under normal circumstances if it is involved in a fire. This product is likely to decompose only after heating to dryness, followed by further strong heating. Fire decomposition products from this product may be toxic if inhaled. Take appropriate protective measures. Extinguishing Media: Not Combustible. Use extinguishing media suited to burning materials. Fire Fighting: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade. Flammability Class: Does not burn.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Wear full protective clothing including eye/face protection. All skin areas should be covered. See below under Personal Protection regarding Australian Standards relating to personal protective equipment. Suitable materials for protective clothing include rubber, PVC. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum, protective goggles. If there is a significant chance that vapours or mists are likely to build up in the cleanup area, we recommend that you use a respirator. It should be fitted with a type G cartridge, suitable for agricultural chemicals. Otherwise, not normally necessary. Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Absorb onto sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material. If spill is too large or if absorbent material is not available, try to create a dike to stop material spreading or going into drains or waterways. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Recycle containers wherever possible after careful cleaning. Refer to product label for specific instructions. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Toxicity: Fipronil is Classed by SWA as a potential sensitiser by skin contact. For Fipronil: $LD_{50}$ (Oral), Rat 92mg/kg $LD_{50}$ (Oral), Mouse 91mg/kg $LD_{50}$ (Dermal), Rat >2000mg/kg $LD_{50}$ (Dermal), Rabbit 445mg/kg $LC_{50}$ (Inhal, 4hr), Mouse 0.36-0.42mg/kg
When Fipronil was administered as a single dose to mice or rats orally or by inhalation, deaths and signs of toxicity occurred at all or most doses in animals of each sex. Most or all of the deaths occurred within several days of treatment. In a toxicity study involving rats, the clinical signs of toxicity did not reach their peak until two days after treatment in some animals, and deaths did not occur until four days after treatment. Some signs of toxicity and body-weight loss were still evident when the observation period ended at day 7 after treatment.

Section 12 - Ecological Information
This product is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This product is not readily biodegradable. Fish: $LC_{50}$ bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus): 0.085mg/L $LC_{50}$ rainbow trout: 0.248mg/L $LC_{50}$ carp: 0.430mg/L $LC_{50}$ Daphnia: 0.19mg/L
In laboratory studies, Fipronil has a half-life of 122-128 days in oxygenated sandy loam. In field studies, dissipation half-life on soil surfaces ranged from 0.7 to 1.7 months. Half-life of Fipronil applied by soil incorporation ranged from 3 to 7.3 months. Residues remain mainly in the upper 30cm of soil. Fipronil has low soil mobility - it binds to the soil and has little potential for groundwater contamination. Fipronil degrades slowly in water and sediment that lack oxygen, with a half-life ranging from 116 to 130 days. Fipronil is stable to breakdown by water at mildly acidic to neutral pH values. When exposed to light, Fipronil has a half-life of 3.6 hours in water, and 34 days in loamy soil. Toxic to bees. Toxic to aquatic organisms.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Disposal: Do NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals onsite. If recycling replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should NOT be burnt.
