The label may include a precautionary statement such as: "Exposure
to moist air or liquids releases flammable gas. Gas-air mixtures
at concentrations above the lower flammable limit may ignite spontaneously.
Never allow the buildup of gas to exceed explosive conditions."
e.g. magnesium/aluminum phosphide
|
|
Substances which in contact with water emit flammable gases
|
no
|
|
Self-Heating Substances
|
no
|
Such substances are not used as pest control products.
|
|
Oxidizing Liquids
|
no
|
Such products are usually labelled "Corrosive" but not "Flammable".
There may be a precautionary statement such as: "Strong oxidizing
agent. Contamination with moisture, organic material or other chemicals
may start a chemical reaction with generation of heat, hazardous
gases, and possible fire or explosion." e.g. sodium chlorate, trichloro-s-triazinetrione,
hydogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, peracetic acid

These hazards are considered in the risk assessment process and
if there is unacceptable risk, registration of the product is not
supported.

|
no
|
|
Target Organ Toxicity - Repeat Exposure
|
no
|
|
Aquatic Toxicity
|
no
|
An Environmental Hazards section is included on the label if the
risk assessment shows that operational applications of the pesticide
could result in risk to aquatic organisms. This section includes
statements to mitigate risk to aquatic organisms.
