Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients
Ingredients
Conc,%w/v TWA (mg/m3) STEL
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are also possible. The TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly. Section 4 - First Aid Measures

this product. The number is 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) and is available at all
times. Have this MSDS with you when you call.
Inhalation: First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. If a
significant quantity of this product enters water courses, immediately advise local authorities as this product is toxic to
aquatic organisms. As a minimum, wear overalls, goggles and gloves. Suitable materials for protective clothing
include rubber, PVC. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum, protective goggles. If there is a
significant chance that vapours or mists are likely to build up in the cleanup area, we recommend that you use a
respirator. Usually, no respirator is necessary when using this product. However, if you have any doubts consult the
Australian Standard mentioned below (section 8).
Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Absorb onto sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material. If spill
is too large or if absorbent material is not available, try to create a dike to stop material spreading or going into drains
or waterways. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage,
and dispose of promptly. Can be slippery on floors, especially when wet. Recycle containers wherever possible after
careful cleaning. Refer to product label for specific instructions. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering
drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services. Full details regarding disposal of
used containers, spillage and unused material may be found on the label. If there is any conflict between this MSDS

and the label, instructions on the label prevail. Ensure legality of disposal by consulting regulations prior to disposal. Thoroughly launder protective clothing before storage or re-use. Advise laundry of nature of contamination when sending contaminated clothing to laundry. Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Keep exposure to this product to a minimum, and minimise the quantities kept in work areas. Check
Section 8 of this MSDS for details of personal protective measures, and make sure that those measures are followed.
The measures detailed below under "Storage" should be followed during handling in order to minimise risks to
persons using the product in the workplace. Also, avoid contact or contamination of product with incompatible
materials listed in Section 10.
Storage: This product is a Scheduled Poison. Observe all relevant regulations regarding sale, transport and storage
of this schedule of poison. Note that this product is combustible and therefore, for Storage, meets the definition of
Dangerous Goods in some states. If you store large quantities (tonnes) of such products, we suggest that you consult
your state's Dangerous Goods authority in order to clarify your obligations regarding their storage.
Store in the closed original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Make sure that the
product does not come into contact with substances listed under "Incompatibilities" in Section 10. Some liquid
preparations settle or separate on standing and may require stirring before use. Check packaging - there may be
further storage instructions on the label.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
The following Australian Standards will provide general advice regarding safety clothing and equipment: Respiratory equipment: AS/NZS 1715, Protective Gloves: AS 2161, Industrial Clothing: AS2919, Industrial Eye
Protection: AS1336 and AS/NZS 1337, Occupational Protective Footwear: AS/NZS2210.
Exposure Limits
TWA (mg/m3) STEL
Exposure limits have not been established by NOHSC for any of the significant ingredients in this product. The ADI for Ivermectin is set at 0.001mg/kg/day. The corresponding NOEL is set at 0.1mg/kg/day. ADI means Acceptable Daily Intake and NOEL means No-observable-effect-level. Values taken from Australian ADI List, Dec 2004. No special equipment is usually needed when occasionally handling small quantities. The following instructions are
for bulk handling or where regular exposure in an occupational setting occurs without proper containment systems.
Ventilation: No special ventilation requirements are normally necessary for this product. However make sure that
the work environment remains clean and that vapours and mists are minimised.
Eye Protection: Eye protection is not normally necessary when this product is being used. However, if in doubt,
wear suitable protective glasses or goggles.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
From plasma analyses in humans and in laboratory animals, after oral and/or parenteral administration of Ivermectin, the following half-lives have been calculated . SPECIES Metabolism: Ivermectin undergoes metabolism and is excreted mainly in the faeces. Ivermectin is little metabolised by mammals; 90% of the administered dose is excreted in the faeces and tissue residues are of the parent compound. Elimination by route of exposure: Ivermectin is excreted mainly in the faeces (unchanged), less than 1% appearing in the urine and less than 2% in breast milk. In animal studies, regardless of whether Ivermectin is administered parenterally or orally, only 0.5 to 2% of the dose is excreted in urine; the remainder (about 90%) appears in the faeces. Section 12 - Ecological Information
IVERMECTIN: Very toxic to certain aquatic species.
LC50 - Daphnia magna, 48 hours = 0.025 ppb; NOEL Daphnia magna = 0.01 ppb;
LC50 - Rainbow trout, 96 hours = 3.0 ppb;
LC50 - Bluegill sunfish, 96 hours = 4.8 ppb.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE: (persistence, degradation, hydrolytic/photolytic stability, etc.): Ivermectin photodegrades
rapidly in the environment and is metabolized in the soil. Water solubility is limited and it binds to soil very tightly. It
does not bioconcentrate in fish and is not taken up from soil to plants. Both aquatic and terrestrial studies confirm
rapid degradation of Ivermectin in the environment and lack of accumulation and persistence.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Disposal: There are many pieces of legislation covering waste disposal and they differ in each state and territory, so
each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked. The Hierarchy of
Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and only if all else fails
should disposal be considered. Note that properties of a product may change in use, so that the following suggestions
may not always be appropriate. The following may help you in properly addressing this matter for this product. Special
help is available for the disposal of Agricultural Chemicals. The product label will give general advice regarding
disposal of small quantities, and how to cleanse containers. However, for help with the collection of unwanted rural
chemicals, contact ChemClear 1800 008 182 http://www.chemclear.com.au/ and for help with the disposal of empty
drums, contact DrumMuster http://www.drummuster.com.au/ where you will find contact details for your area.
