Long-sleeved shirt and long pants,
Shoes and socks, and
Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber or viton.

User Safety Requirements
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for
washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Discard clothing and other absorbent material that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with

User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.

removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Waters treated with this product may be
hazardous to aquatic organisms. Treatment of aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from
decomposition of dead algae and weeds. This oxygen loss can cause fish and invertebrate
suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not treat more than Y2 of the body of water to avoid
depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation. Wait at least 10 to 14 days between treatments.
Begin treatment along the shore arid proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated
areas. Consult with the State or local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides
before applying to public waters, to determine if a permit is required.
Certain water conditions including low pH (<6.5), low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels (3.0
mg/L or lower), and "soft" waters (i.e., alkalinity less than 50 mg/L), increases the potential acute
toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms.
