EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Brown granule that may cause irritation to the eyes and nose. Slightly toxic orally and
dermally. See below for route-specific details.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the nose. Overexposure by
inhalation may cause liver enlargement, spleen and
thyroid effects, red blood cell destruction, reduction of
the blood's oxygen carrying capacity with cyanosis
(bluish discoloration), weakness, or shortness of breath
by formation of methemoglobin. No reports of human
sensitization.
Eye Irritation: May cause irritation. Produced mild to moderate comeal
opacity, mild conjunctival redness and slight to mild
chemosis in unwashed rabbit eyes. Eyes normal within
14 days after exposure. Considered a moderate eye

irritant. May cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing,
or bluffing of vision.
Skin Absorption: Slightly toxic on absorption through skin. Temporary
skin swelling, redness, or discomfort may occur on
contact. Significant skin permeation after contact
appears unlikely.
Ingestion: Overexposure by ingestion may cause liver
enlargement, spleen and thyroid effects, red blood cell
destruction, reduction of the blood's oxygen carrying
capacity with cyanosis(bluish discoloration), weakness,
or shortness of breath by formation of methemoglobin.
Chronic: Toxic effects described in animals from short exposures
include: blood effects, spleen effects, thyroid effects,
methemoglobinemia, and nonspecific effects such as
weight loss and irritation. Tests in some animals
demonstrate carcinogenic activity. Tests in animals
demonstrate no embryotoxic activity at concentrations
equal to or less than the TLV or 10 mg/m3. Animal
testing indicates that this compound does not have
mutagenic, or reproductive effects.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get professional
medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Hold eyelids open and flush with water at least 15-20
minutes until no evidence of chemical remains. Do not
attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Get
professional medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with
plenty of soap and water for 15-20 minutes until no
evidence of chemical remains. Get professional medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion: Immediately drink 1 to 2 glasses of water and induce
vomiting. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get professional
medical attention immediately.
Note To Physicians: Absorption of diuron into the body may lead to the
formation of methemoglobin that, in sufficient
concentration, causes cyanosis. Since reversion of
methemoglobin to hemoglobin occurs spontaneously
after termination of exposure, moderate degrees of
cyanosis need be treated only by supportive measures
such as a bed rest and oxygen inhalation.

Karmex DF Herbicide Date Prepared: July 12, 2002
Notes to Physician (continued):
Thorough cleansing of the entire contaminated area of
the body, including scalp and nails, is of utmost
importance. If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection
of methylene blue, one milligram per kilogram of body
weight, may be of value. Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin Bhp),
one milligram intramuscularly, may speed recovery.
Intravenous fluids and blood transfusions may be
indicated in very severe exposure.

Components: Data from laboratory studies and from the scientific literature on components of this product:
ISOPROPYLAMINE SALT OF GLYPHOSATE:
Data from studies with formulation comprised of 62%isopropylamine salt of glyphosate(MON 0139)indicate the
following;
In repeat dosing studies(6-month),dogs fed MON 0139 exhibited slight weight changes. Following repeated skin
exposure(30 weeks)to MON 0139,skin irritation was the primary effect in rabbits.
Additional toxicity information is available on glyphosate,the active herbicidal ingredient of MON 0139. Following
repeated exposures(90-days)to glyphosate in their feed,decreased weight gains were noted at the highest test level
r in mice,while no treatment-related effects occurred in rats. Following repeated skin exposure(3 weeks)to
glyphosate,slight skin irritation was the primary effect observed in rabbits. No skin allergy was observed in guinea
pigs following repeated skin exposure. There was no evidence of effects on the nervous system,including delayed

• effects in chickens(repeat oral doses)or cholinesterase inhibition in rats(single oral doses). Reduced body weight
gain and effects on liver tissues were observed at the high-dose level in one long-term(2 year)feeding study with
rats,while no treatment-related effects occurred in a second study. No adverse effects were observed in feeding
studies with dogs. Glyphosate did not produce tumors in any of these studies. Based on the results from the chronic
studies,EPA has classified glyphosate in category E(evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans). No birth defects
were noted in rats and rabbits given glyphosate orally during pregnancy,even at amounts which produced adverse
effects on the mothers. Glyphosate was fed continuously to rats at very high dose levels for 2 successive generations.
Toxicity was reported in offspring from the high dose,a level which also produced adverse
effects on the mothers. In a 3 generation study conducted at lower dose levels,no effects were seen on the ability of
male or female rats to reproduce. Glyphosate has produced no genetic changes in a variety of standard tests using
animals and animal or bacterial cells.
ETHOXYLATED TALLOWAMINE:
The surfactant component of RAZOR Herbicide is reported to cause irritation to the eyes and skin and may
contribute to the irritation potential reported for this herbicide. Ingestion may product gastrointestinal irritation,
nausea,vomiting and diarrhea.

Ingestion: Slightly toxic by oral exposure. This material may
produce toxicity if ingested in large quantities.
Symptoms of over-exposure may include nausea and
vomiting, abdominal pain, and central nervous system
depression, which, if severe enough, may lead to
death.
Chronic: Low chronic toxicity unless excessive exposure is
encountered. Excessive exposure to copper by
inhalation may result in irritation of the upper
respiratory tract which, if severe, may lead to
perforation of the nasal septum after long periods of
exposure.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get
professional medical attention immediately.
Eye Contact: Hold eyelids open and flush with water for 15-20
minutes until no evidence of chemical remains. Get
professional medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with
plenty of soap and water for 15-20 minutes until no
evidence of chemical remains. Get professional
medical attention.
Ingestion: Drink promptly a large quantity of milk, egg white,
gelatin solution or if these are not available, large
quantities of water. Unless extensive vomiting has
occurred, empty the stomach by gastric lavage with
water, milk, sodium bicarbonate solution of a 0.1%
solution of potassium ferrocyanide. (Gosselin, Clinical
Toxicology of Commercial Products, 5th Ed.).
Administration of gastric lavage should be performed
by qualified medical personnel. Probable mucosal
damage may contraindicate use of gastric lavage.
Emergency Medical Treat symptomatically. Acute oral overexposure to
Treatment: copper hydroxide, a major component of this product, may
cause hypotension, hemolysis, and, rarely,
methemoglobinemia. Severe intoxication is associated
with serum copper levels greater than 500 mcg/dl.
Copper hydroxide is an emetic, however, dilution with
fluids, adsorption with activated charcoal, or lavage
may be indicated. Chelation therapy with BAL or
D-penicillamine has proved useful in cases of acute
overexposure.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Page 5 of 7
Kocide®4.5 LF Date Prepared: November 21, 2002
CHRONIC: Repeated ingestion of copper salts may results in
anemia, liver, and kidney damage. Chronic inhalation
exposure may cause a metallic taste in the mouth,
irritation of the upper respiratory tract such as the nasal
mucosa that may progress to perforation of the nasal
septum. Chronic cough may also occur. Copper
hydroxide which comprises 46%of this product govems
the toxicity of the product. The remaining components
have low to negligible toxicity.
Special Health Effects: Copper-intolerant individuals should not be exposed to
this material. No additional information is available on
whether overexposure to this material would aggravate
other existing special medical conditions.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Chemical Fate: The degree of mobility of copper in the environment
depends upon the pH of ambient soils and waters. The
higher the acidity, the more soluble copper salts are and,
hence, the more mobile. Partitioning of copper into air is
negligible due to the low vapor pressure of copper salts.

Statement of Operation
The farm is located at 1281 WCR 27, Brighton, CO. I have been growing vegetable crops here
since 1969. The current crops under production for 2003 is 56 acres of USDA certified organic
asparagus and 25 acres of grass alfalfa hay.
The main building is steel construction. This building is used in the processing of the
asparagus crop and will be inspected by the Colorado Department of Agriculture for the USDA
requirements for packing organic crops. The floor drains located inside dispose of water used in
re-hydrating the asparagus before it is shipped. This building also houses the office with storage
above it and two employee restrooms .
Maintenance on tractors and equipment is limited to changing oil and greasing. Waste oil is
collected in catch pans and placed in empty oil barrels previously containing the new oil. When
enough has been collected or storage barrels are near full, waste oil removal company is called.
This year Raptor Co. Will remove the waste oil. When the equipment requires hydraulic,
radiator, transmission or other work the equipment is sent off site for service. There is no
washing or cleaning of tractors or trucks in the building.
Most of the crop production is organic, if a pesticide is needed it must be on the USDA organic
list and is purchased and used only if absolutely necessary. I also have a few pesticides needed
EXHIBIT

for the control of noxious weeds. All pesticides are keep in a locked 10' by 10' storage building
outside the packing building. The building is posted as hazardous in English and Spanish. I have
a current E.P.A. , Private Applicators License, and I am the only person to handle and apply
chemicals. The empty pesticide containers are triple rinsed, with the rinse water going into the
spray tank and applied, before the containers are disposed of properly. The application date,
name of pesticide, EPA registration number, rate/quantity used are all logged in on application
sheets. Any unopened pesticides are returned to the supplier. Copies of the MSDS sheets are
enclosed and there is a Crop Protection Manual in the office, which contains much of the
MSDS information and application/worker safety requirements.
If there are any questions please call me at 303-659-5261.
