| [Fire Fighting] Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use alcohol foam. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires involving this material. Keep upwind. | |
| [Fire Potential] Non-Combustible | |
| [Ingestion] Ipecac induced vomiting is not recommended because there is so little information about the effects of overdose in humans. Activated charcoal: administer charcoal as a slurry (240 ml water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents. Consider after ingestion of a potentially life-threatening amount of poison if it can be performed soon after ingestion (generally within 1 hour). If persons exposed to triazines exhibit symptoms of severe toxicosis, concurrent absorption of other or additional toxins should be considered. | |
| [Inhalation] Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with beta2 agonist and corticosteroid aerosols. | |
| [Skin] Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A physician should examine the area if irritation or pain persists. | |
| [Eyes] Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. | |
| [Storage] Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage. | |
| [Handling] 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. | |
| [Inhalation] Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. | |
| [Skin] Avoid any skin contact. See Inhalation. | |
| [Eyes] See Inhalation. | |

| [Personal Protection] The use of personal protective equipment such as glasses, synthetic gloves, and NIOSH approved breathing apparatus is important. | |
| [Respirators] Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). | |
| [Exposure Effects] Coma was reported following ingestion of an herbicide containing atrazine, aminotriazole, ethylene glycol, and formaldehyde. Muscle tremors, tetany, and ataxia have been reported in animals following ingestions of triazine herbicides. | |
