| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. | 【Inhalation】
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used. | 【Skin】
IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. | 【Eyes】
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. |

All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
Picloram dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. | 【Skin】
Picloram is mildly irritating to skin. | 【Eyes】
Eye irritation may occur with exposure to picloram. | 【Ingestion】
Nausea is possible after ingestion of massive amounts of picloram. |
| Exposure Controls/Personal Protection | Back to Contents | 【Personal Protection】
Wear appropriate eye protection and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact. | 【Respirators】
Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator appropriate for exposure of concern. | 【Exposure Effects】
Although seizures have not been reported in humans, seizures have developed in animals exposed to fatal amounts. No teratogenicity was observed in several studies. However, there are reports that Tordon 202c (a picloram and 2,4-D combination herbicide) showed teratogenesis and fetal growth depression in mice by paternal exposure and combined preconceptional and gestational exposure. | 【Exposure limit(s)】
TLV: ppm; 10 mg/m3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1993-1994). OSHA PEL: TWA 15 mg/m3 (total) TWA 5 mg/m3 (resp) NIOSH REL: See Appendix D | 【Poison Class】
