For liquid spills that soak into the ground, contact the applicable Federal, State and or County Health Dept. for disposal recommendations. If disposal is required then refer to Section 13 "DISPOSAL" for instructions.
Leaking containers should be separated from non-leakers and either the container or its contents transferred to a drum or other non-leaking container and disposed of in accordance with instructions provided under Section 13 "Disposal". Any recovered spilled liquid should be similarly collected and disposed of.
Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs or feed by storage or disposal.
Handling of the undiluted product is not likely to present an eye exposure concern during normal handling. In the event of an accidental discharge of the material during manufacture or handling which could cause eye contact, workers should wear goggles or a face shield.
For application of product diluted in accordance with label instructions, no special respiratory protection is required.

DO NOT MIX, APPLY OR STORE THIS PRODUCT OR SPRAY SOLUTIONS OF THIS PRODUCT IN GALVANIZED OR UNLINED STEEL (EXCEPT STAINLESS STEEL) SPRAYERS, because the product and such containers can react to produce a highly combustible mixture of hydrogen gas. This buildup of hydrogen gas in a closed container can create enough pressure to cause the container to rupture, or can flash or explode, causing serious personal injury, if ignited by open flame, spark, welders torch, lit cigarette or any other ignition source.
In repeat dosing studies (6-month) dogs fed MON 0139 exhibited slight body weight changes. Following repeated skin exposure (3-week) 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 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 with long-term (2-year) feeding of glyphosate to mice at high dose levels. Reduced body weight gain and eye changes 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 at lower dose levels. 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 noncarcinogenicity 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.
