suitable training.

See toxicological information (Section 11)

Section 5. Fire-fighting measures


Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media : Use flooding quantities of water for extinction.
Unsuitable extinguishing : Do NOT use chemical extinguisher or foam or attempt to
media smother the fire with steam or sand.
Specific hazards arising from : The product itself is not combustible but it can support
the chemical combustion, even in absence of air. On heating it melts and
further heating can cause decomposition, releasing toxic
fumes containing nitrogen oxides and ammonia.
Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
decomposition products nitrogen oxides
sulfur oxides
phosphorus oxides
halogenated compounds
metal oxide/oxides
ammonia
Avoid breathing dusts, vapors or fumes from burning
materials.
In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire,
symptoms may be delayed.

Special protective actions for : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the
fire-fighters vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. No action shall be taken
involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Special protective equipment : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment
for fire-fighters and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full
face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures


Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not
touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take
note of any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable
materials. See also the information in "For non-emergency
personnel".

Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with
soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant
authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
(sewers, waterways, soil or air).

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up


Small spill : Move containers from spill area. Vacuum dust with equipment
fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labeled waste
container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Avoid dust
generation. Do not dry sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment
fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labeled waste
container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact information and
Section 13 for waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage


Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see
Section 8). As a precaution, keep exposure as low as possible
for pregnant women, children and workers in reproductive
age. Avoid dust generation. Do not breathe dust.
Advice on general : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas
occupational hygiene where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking
and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. See also Section 8
for additional information on hygiene measures.

Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original
including any incompatibilities container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-
ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see
Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed
and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent
leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use
appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination. Keep away from: organic materials, oil and

Specific recommendations to : Do not generate and inhale liquid fertilizer aerosols.


end users
In addition to overalls, gloves and eye protection, use of
efficient respiratory protection (P2/P3 respirators with a tight
face seal) during discharge of fertilizer bags and maintenance
of equipment is recommended to minimize inhalation
exposure and to ensure safe-use during this activity (see
section 8).

Risk assessments show safe use during normal spreading of


fertilizers containing below 5% of boron by tractor (liquid or
granular) and backpack (liquid).

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection


Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits
Ingredient name Exposure limits
disodium tetraborate 고용노동부 (1997-03-01)
pentahydrate TWA 1 mg/m3
TWA 1 mg/m3

Appropriate engineering : If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist,
controls use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne
contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should
controls be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume
scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to
acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures


Hygiene measures : A washing facility or water for eye and skin cleaning purposes
should be present. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly
after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and
using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should
be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to
avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.

Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an
approved standard should be worn at all times when handling
chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. For general applications, we recommend gloves
with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm. It should be
emphasized that glove thickness is not necessarily a good

Date of issue : 12.06.2018 Page:5/14


YaraMila 12-11-18

predictor of glove resistance to a specific chemical, as the


permeation efficiency of the glove will be dependent on the
exact composition of the glove material.
Body protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved.
Other skin protection : Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection
measures should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection : Use respiratory protection with more than 94% efficiency (P2,
P3 or N95) and a tight face seal, when risk of exposure to
dust.
