6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility. CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Completely empty bag into manufacturing equipment. Then dispose of empty bag in /accordance with Federal, state, and local laws/. /6-Benzylaminopurine Technical/
Do not discharge effluent containing this product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters unless in accordance with the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and the permitting authority has been notified in writing prior to discharge. Do not discharge effluent containing this product to sewer systems without previously notifying the local sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance, contact your Regional Office of the EPA. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. /6-Benzylaminopurine Technical/
For terrestrial uses. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate...Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. /Configure/
SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.
SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.
The Worker Protection Standard requires a Restricted Entry Interval (REI) of 12 hours for pesticide active ingredients /such as N6-benzyladenine/ with acute dermal toxicity and skin and eye irritation in toxicity categories III and IV.
Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. /Configure/
If on skin or clothing take off contaminated clothing and rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. /Configure/

/BIRDS and MAMMALS/ A study entitled "An Acute Oral Toxicity Study with the Northern Bobwhite" shows that the acute oral LD50 value for northern bobwhite quail exposed to N6-benzyladenine as a single oral dose was 1599 mg/kg. This value is considered practically nontoxic. A study entitled "N6-Benzyladenine: A Dietary LC50 Study with the Northern Bobwhite" indicated that N6-benzyladenine did not cause mortality or acute toxicity/pathogenicity. The LC50 value was greater than 5620 ppm (the highest dosage tested) and was classified as practically nontoxic to birds. The mammalian toxicity data indicated that there is no significant toxicity or pathogenicity to rodents from acute oral testing at the maximum hazard dose.
