III. HOW TO USE THE PESTICIDE AND CHEMICAL TABLES AND GUIDES Each of the pesticides listed in Table 1 is

The guides are organized as follows:

Health hazards, which include routes of exposure, life threat, and environmental concerns.

Safety guidelines, which include use classification, solubility properties

in water or nonaqueous carriers, EPA toxicity category, handling and storage

precautions.

Protective clothing recommendations, which suggests the PPE that

should be used when mixing, applying, rinsing, or disposing of the pesticide

or chemical.

Emergency guidelines, which include fire and explosive hazards, spills

response and remediation, and first aid.

The following example will demonstrate the use of the guides.

With the advice of the Cooperative Extension Service, you have decided

to apply Asana™XL as a treatment for the cutworms on your field corn. Before opening the container, read the label. From the label information you

determine that this product is a restricted use pesticide, meaning that you have

to be a certified applicator or work under direct supervision of a certified applicator to apply this product. The label also tells what the formulation is.

This product is an emulsifiable concentrate that contains 0.66 lbs. of active

ingredient per gallon. The chemical name of the active ingredient is also

given as (S)-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl-(S)-4-chloro-alpha-(1-methyl

ethyl) benzeneacetate. Its percentage of the product is 8.4%. The inert or

nonactive ingredients are not listed but their percentage of the product is listed

as 91.6%. The label also states that the product contains a xylene range aromatic solvent, EPA registration number 352-515, the signal word WARNING,

first aid instructions, environmental hazards, storage and disposal recommendations, and directions for use.

To access additional information contained in the Pesticide Guides, you

would look up the trade name in Table 1. From this table you learn that

Asana is an insecticide, which is manufactured by the Du Pont Agricultural

Products and whose common name is Esfenvalerate. The information also

includes the fact that the active ingredient is only available as an emulsifiable

concentrate. The table also tells you to consult Pesticide Guide 53 for more

information.

From Pesticide Guide 53 you find the following facts:

1) Imminent health hazards and environmental concerns

2) Toxicity of the product

3) Handling and storage precautions

4) Protective equipment to use when mixing and applying the product

5) Fire and explosive hazards are present when using this product

6) Spill cleanup procedures

7) Suggested first aid treatments.

In addition to the above information you should also consult the Chemical Guides for the chemical xylene, which is the carrier fluid mentioned on the

label. To access the proper guide, first look up xylene in Table 3. From this

table you find that Chemical Guide 10 should be consulted.

The following information is given in Guide 10:

1) Imminent health hazards and environmental concerns

2) The NFPA-Hazard Rating

3) Handling and storage precautions

4) Recommendations for protective equipment when using this chemical

5) Fire and explosive hazards when using this product

6) Spill cleanup procedures

7) Suggested first aid treatments.

Read the label very carefully. Most labels contain most of the information needed to use the product safely. However, if the label is vague, missing,

or illegible or if an emergency occurs, you will need to consult these tables

and guides.

It is not unusual for a pesticide user, even a trained and certified one, to

grab a container of pesticide without reading the label. At one time or another, virtually every pesticide user has identified a product by the color or

general configuration of the label. It's a relatively common occurrence, but

certainly not a safe business practice. Labels of the same color and general

makeup may contain very different ingredients. How would you know if the

pesticide is too toxic or hazardous to be used safely under your intended conditions? How do you know the formulation is right for your intended use?

How do you know what precautions should be taken when mixing the pesticide? How do you know what protective equipment to wear when applying

the material? YOU DON'T - unless you read the label and, when necessary,

consult the following tables and guides.
