EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION General No exposure standard has been established for this product by The Safe Work Australia (SWA). NOTE: The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. These exposure standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity. Exposure Limits No Data Available Biological Limits No information available on biological limit values for this product. Engineering Measures A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Personal Protection Equipment RESPIRATOR: Respiratory protection should not be required for normal use and handling. During periods of abnormal exposure to heavy spray or mist, use NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment for pesticide vapor/mist is recommended. The respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer must be observed (AS1715/1716). EYES: Chemical safety goggles during mixing/pouring operations or other activities in which eye contact with undiluted material is likely to occur (AS1336/1337). HANDS: Impervious elbow length chemical protective (e.g. rubber) gloves are recommended (AS2161). CLOTHING: Long-sleeved protective clothing and safety footwear (AS3765/2210).

This is not a polymerization but rather a chemical neutralization in an acid base reaction. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION General Information Acute Oral LD50: >10,000 mg/Kg Acute Dermal LD50 Rabbit: >5,000 mg/Kg Chronic toxicity: Studies of glyphosate lasting up to 2 years, have been conducted with rats, dogs, mice, and rabbits, and with few exceptions no effects were observed. Laboratory studies show that glyphosate produces reproductive changes in test animals very rarely and then only at very high doses (over 150 mg/kg/day). It is unlikely that the compound would produce reproductive effects in humans. Glyphosate does not appear to be teratogenic, mutagenic or carcinogenic. EyeIrritant May cause eye irritation. Risk of serious eye damage. Direct contact may cause temporary eye irritation and conjunctivitis. Ingestion May be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion has been reported to produce gastrointestinal discomfort with irritation of the mouth, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Oral ingestion of large quantities of concentrated product has been reported to result in hyper-tension and pulmonary edema. Inhalation may be harmful if inhaled. Occupational exposure to this product has been reported to cause respiratory tract irritation. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, wheezing, and blood-tinged mucous. SkinIrritant May cause skin irritation. Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation. Carcinogen Category 0 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicity Supplier Data: Glyphosate is not harmful to wild birds. The dietary LC50 in both mallards and bobwhite quail is greater than 4500ppm. Technical glyphosate acid is practically nontoxic to fish and may be slightly toxic to aquatic invertebrates. the reported 96-hour LC50 values for other aquatic species include greater than 10 mg/l in Atlantic oysters, 924 mg/l in fiddler crab and 281 mg/l in shrimp. The 48-hour LC50 for glyphosate in Daphnia(water flea), an important food source for freshwater fish, is 780 mg/l. Some formulations may be more toxic to fish and aquatic species due to the surfactants used in the formulation. There is a very low potential for the compound to build up in the tissues of aquatic invertebrates or other aquatic organisms. Glyphosate is nontoxic to honeybees. It;s oral and dermal LD50 is greater than 0.1 mg/bee. The reported contact LC50 values for earthworms in soil are greater than 5000 ppm. Alternatively Sourced Data: Birds: Glyphosate is slightly toxic to birds. Oral LD50 (Bob-white Quail): 4500 mg/Kg Oral LD50 (Mallard duck): 4500 mg/Kg Aquatic Organisms: Technical glyphosate acid is slightly toxic to aquatic invertibrates. LC50/96hr (Rainbow Trout): 86 mg/L LC50/96hr (Bluegill sunfish): 120 mg/L LC50/96hr (Dahnia): 780 mg/L Other Animals: Glyphosate is non-toxic to honey bees Data from the New Zealand EPA (CCID): ACUTE (9.1B) SPECIES: Skeletonema costatum (diatom) TYPE OF EXPOSURE: DURATION: 96 hr ENDPOINT: EC50 VALUE: 1.2 mg/L (based on chlorophyll a decrease) REFERENCE SOURCE: EG & G Bionomics (1978a) Toxicity of seven test materials to the marine alga, Skeletonema costatum.

(Unpublished report No. 37695 submitted by Monsanto Ltd). Glyphosate (EHC 159, 1994) [INCHEM] Persistence/Degradability Glyphosate is moderately persistent in soil, with an estimated average half-life of 47 days. Reported field half-live's range from 1 to 174 days. It is strongly adsorbed to most soils, even those with lower organic and clay content. In water glyphosate is strongly adsorbed to suspended organic and mineral matter and is broken down primarily by microorganisms. Its half-life in pond water ranges from 12 days to 10 weeks. Glyphosate may be translocated throughout the plant, including tot he roots. It is extensively metabolized in some plants. while remaining intact in others. Data from the New Zealand EPA (CCID): Rapidly Degradable: No DEGRADATION Readily degradable = No [N-CLASS] Mobility Absorption studies indicate that glyphosate has a very low mobility. Environmental Fate Do NOT let product reach waterways, drains and sewers. Bioaccumulation Potential Data from the New Zealand EPA (CCID): Bioccumulative: No Species: Lepomis macrochirus (Fish, fresh water) Exposure period: 35 day at 22 degree C Concentration: BCF: = .63 Elimination: yes Method: OECD Guide-line 305 E "Bioaccumulation: Flow-through Fish Test" Year: GLP: yes Test substance: as prescribed by 1.1 - 1.4 Remark: METHOD: Conducted in general accordance with OECD Guideline 305E. The only discrepancy is that one test concentration was used and the guideline suggests that two or more be used. However, the one concentration used of 12 ppm is higher than the maximum water concentration expected from the use of glyphosate herbicides and a relatively low bioconcentration was shown. Additional test levels would not have affected this conclusion. This study is considered scientifically valid.
