PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS-WARNING - AVISO
May be fatal if inhaled. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate
eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not breathe spray mist. Prolonged
or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reaction in some individuals.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Mixers, loaders, applicators and all other handlers
must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants; • Shoes plus socks;
• Protective eye wear; • Chemical resistant gloves (some of the materials that are
chemical-resistant to this product are barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene
rubber, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or viton; If you want more options, follow the
instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart); • A
NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor (OV) cartridge or canister with any N, R, P,

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and wildlife. DO NOT apply directly to water or to
areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark.
Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring
areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Chlorothalonil can contaminate surface water through spray drift. DO NOT apply when
weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Under some conditions, it may also have
a high potential for runoff into surface water for several days to weeks after application.
These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent
surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlaying extremely shallow ground water,
areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from
adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying tile drainage
systems that drain to surface water.
Chlorothalonil degradates are known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
conditions as a result of label use. Use of this product in areas where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
