2. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Hazardous components
For the full text of the R phrases mentioned in this Section, see Section 16.
3. Hazards identification
Toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed. Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure in contact with skin and if swallowed. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES General advice
: Have the product container, label or Material Safety Data
Sheet with you when calling the Syngenta emergency number, a poison control center or physician, or going for treatment.
Inhalation
Keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Call a physician or Poison Control Centre immediately.
SAFETY DATA SHEET according to EC directive 2001/58/EC KLERAT Version 5 Skin contact
: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.
Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Eye contact
: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids,
for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Immediate medical attention is required.
Ingestion
Symptoms
: Symptoms of poisoning are typical of anticoagulants. In severe
cases there may be bruising, haematomas of the joints, blood in the faeces and urine
Medical advice
: This product contains anticoagulants with an effect similar to
warfarin in that they act by interfering with the synthesis of prothrombin. The specific measure of effect is the prothrombin time. Note this may not become prolonged until 12-18 hours after ingestion. The specific antidote is vitamin K1 (Phytomenandione) Antidote must be administered under medical supervision. Initially, antidote should be given by injection (10-20mg, or 0.25mg/kg for children, by slow intravenous infusion at a rate not exceeding 1mg/minute. In severe cases the use of fresh frozen plasma may be required). Maintenance treatment is given orally (40mg/day in divided doses for adults; up to 20mg/day in divided doses for children) The prothrombin time and the haemoglobin should be monitored. Patients should be kept under medical supervision until the prothrombin time has been normal for 3 consecutive days. Oral treatment may need continuing for several months (20mg/day in divided doses for adults and up to 20mg/day in divided doses for children). (For animal cases the dose is 2-5mg/kg)
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Extinguishing media - large fires alcohol-resistant foam water spray
Extinguishing media
: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread
which must not be used for safety reasons
Specific hazards during
: As the product contains combustible organic components, fire
SAFETY DATA SHEET according to EC directive 2001/58/EC KLERAT Version 5 fire fighting
will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion (see section 10). Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health.
Special protective
: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
equipment for fire- fighters
Further information
: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
courses. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions
: Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental
: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
precautions
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for cleaning up
: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent
material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceus earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations (see section 13).
Additional advice
: If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING Advice on safe handling
: No special protective measures against fire required.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. For personal protection see section 8.
Requirements for storage
: No special storage conditions required.
areas and containers
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Components with workplace control parameters ENGINEERING MEASURES
Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical protection measure if exposure cannot be eliminated. The extent of these protection measures depends on the actual risks in use. If airborne mists or vapors are generated, use local exhaust ventilation controls. Assess exposure and use any additional measures to keep airborne levels below any relevant exposure limit. Where necessary, seek additional occupational hygiene advice.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Protective measures
: The use of technical measures should always have priority
over the use of personal protective equipment. When selecting personal protective equipment, seek appropriate professional advice. Personal protective equipment should be certified to appropriate standards.
Respiratory protection
: No personal respiratory protective equipment normally
required. A particulate filter respirator may be necessary until effective technical measures are installed.
Hand protection
: Chemical resistant gloves should be used.
Gloves should be certified to an appropriate standard. Gloves should have a minimum breakthrough time that is appropriate to the duration of exposure. The breakthrough time of gloves varies according to the thickness, material and manufacturer. Gloves should be changed when breakthrough is suspected. Suitable material: nitrile rubber
Eye protection
: Eye protection is not usually required.
Follow any site specific eye protection policies.
Skin and body protection
: Assess the exposure and select chemical resistant clothing
based on the potential for contact and the permeation / penetration characteristics of the clothing material. Wash with soap and water after removing protective clothing. Decontaminate clothing before re-use, or use disposable equipment (suits, aprons, sleeves, boots, etc.) Wear as appropriate: impervious protective suit

THE MYSTERY OF SOMA In the realm of Hinduism, Soma can be recognized as, and is considered to be, a god ( deva ), a magical and hallucinogenic plant, and the juice of that plant. Soma is extraordinary in that it is recognized as one of only a few plants humans have ever deified (see Wasson 3). There are a large variety of other sacred plants (even within India), but none of which have had q
