4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedSYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include irritation of the skin, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract, convulsions and coma. It may also cause enhanced breathing. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is an irritant of the skin, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and phosphorus oxides.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryImmediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Glyphosate (Roundup) and Related Compounds/

CarcinogenicityClassification - D; not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. Basis - Inadequate evidence for oncogenicity in animals. Glyphosate was originally classified as C, possible human carcinogen, on the basis of increased incidence of renal tumors in mice. Following independent review of the slides the classification was changed to D on the basis of a lack of statistical significance and uncertainty as to a treatment-related effect.

- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
AEROBIC: When glyphosate was incubated in Williams silt loam soil (pH 6.4, 1.9% organic matter), 19% degradation occurred in 9 days. No degradation was noted in sterilized soil(1). In shake-flask metabolism studies, glyphosate was rapidly and completely biodegraded in the presence of soil microorganisms under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions(2). After 28 days under aerobic conditions, 45-55% of the glyphosate was mineralized using Ray silt loam soil, Lintonia sandy loam soil, and Drummer silty clay loam soil. Norfolk sandy loam mineralized glyphosate at a much slower, but still significant, rate. In greenhouse experiments, the half-lives of glyphosate in Ray, Drummer and Norfolk soil was 3, 27, and 130 days, respectively(2). The biodegradation half-life of glyphosate in a Kickapoo sandy loam and Dupo silt loam soil were 1.85 and 2.06 days, respectively, under aerobic conditions. The major degradation product observed was aminomethyl phosphonic acid. The aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation half-life of glyphosate in a flooded silty clay loam sediment was 7 and 8.1 days, respectively(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialIn controlled laboratory studies using glyphosate at levels 3 to 4 times the recommended application rates, BCF values in fish tissue 10-14 days post application ranged from 0.2 to 0.3(1). A BCF value of 0.52 (whole body) was measured in bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) exposed for 28 days(2). BCF values of 0.38 for edible tissues and 0.63 for non-edible tissues have been reported(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these BCF data suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilWhen applied to clay loam or muck soil at an application rate of 56 kg/ha, glyphosate was rapidly inactivated. This inactivation was probably the result of reversible adsorption to clay and organic matter. Iron and aluminum clays and organic matter adsorbed more glyphosate than sodium and calcium clays and was readily bound to kaolinite, illite, bentonite, charcoal and muck but not to ethyl cellulose. (14)C-Labeled glyphosate was degraded in soil and (14)CO2 was released.

13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packagingContainers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
