22. TOXICITY:
Poison schedule - S5
Summary: Low oral toxicity.
Details:
Poison schedule - S5
Mammalian toxicity -
Acute oral LD50 - >5200 mg/kg (rats), [For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]
Acute dermal LD50 - >6000 mg/kg (rabbit).
Skin - Irritating
Eye - Irritating
Vapour inhalation - LC50 - > mg/L air (rat).
Chronic oral toxicity NOEL - ppm for two years.
Carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic properties - Not listed as carcinogenic by Worksafe. Animal studies at high doses have resulted in birth defects. Ethylene dithiourea a possible trace contaminant and breakdown product has caused thyroid effects, tumours and birth defects in laboratory animals.
Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) - 0.005 mg/kg/day.
NOEL 5 mg/kg/day.
23. TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:
May irritate skin or cause contact dermatitis. Some individuals may be allergic.
May irritate nose and throat.
Repeated exposure may cause conjunctivitis.
Avoid giving alcohol if exposed to Zineb. Alcohol interacts with dithiocamates causing increased adverse effects such as headache, illness and vomiting. Exposure to alcohol may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
24. FIRST AID:
If SWALLOWED - Rinse mouth with water. Avoid giving alcohol. Allergic reactions may occur in the presence of alcohol. See a doctor.
If in EYES - Irrigate for 15 minutes with plenty of water.
If on SKIN - Rinse with plenty of water, remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water.
If INHALED - Remove patient to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if patient is not breathing.
If patient has symptoms or is concerned contact a doctor immediately.
Advice to doctor - Treat symptomatically. Don't give alcohol. Allergic reactions may occur in the presence of alcohol.
