Skin Contact may result in irritation, redness, pain and rash. Eye Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain, redness and blurring or dimness of vision. Sensitisation May cause an allergic skin reaction. This product is not classified as a respiratory sensitiser. Mutagenicity Not classified as a mutagen. Carcinogenicity There is limited evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of malathion. Positive associations have been observed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and cancer of the prostate. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of malathion. Malathion is probably carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2A). Reproductive Not classified as a reproductive toxin. STOT - single exposure Cholinesterase inhibitor resulting in the accumulation of acetylcholine, causing rapid twitching of voluntary muscles and finally paralysis. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, coughing, weakness, nausea, headache, vomiting and mild chest pain. High level exposure may result in dizziness, incoordination, excessive salivation, sweating, and breathing difficulties. STOT - repeated exposure Not classified as causing organ damage from repeated exposure. However, repeated exposure to some solvents have been reported to cause adverse effects to the central nervous system (CNS). Aspiration Aspiration into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary oedema.

15. REGULATORY INFORMATION 15.1 Safety, health and environmental regulations/legislation specific for the substance or mixture Poison schedule Classified as a Schedule 5 (S5) Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP). Classifications Safework Australia criteria is based on the Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. Inventory listings AUSTRALIA: AICS (Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances) All components are listed on AICS, or are exempt.

16. OTHER INFORMATION Additional information ORGANOPHOSPHATES-CARBAMATE PESTICIDES-LARVICIDES: These agents act by combining with and inactivating the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (an enzyme involved in nerve muscle coordination). The inhibition of the cholinesterase appears to be reversible following cessation of exposure at sub lethal concentrations (acute exposure). The principal manifestations of poisoning with cholinesterase inhibitor pesticides are visual disturbances, respiratory difficulty and gastrointestinal hyperactivity.

RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.

EXPOSURE STANDARDS - TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGES: Exposure standards are established on the premise of an 8 hour work period of normal intensity, under normal climatic conditions and where a 16 hour break between shifts exists to enable the body to eliminate absorbed contaminants. In the following circumstances, exposure standards must be reduced: Strenuous work conditions; hot, humid climates; high altitude conditions; extended shifts (which increase the exposure period and shorten the period of recuperation).

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES: The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as form of product, method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made.

HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE: It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: form of product; frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
