3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Ingredients
Chemical Name: CAS Number: Proportion (w/w):
Bromadiolone 28772-56-7 0.05g/kg
Other ingredients not determined to be hazardous N/A up to 100%
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First aid: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Have
this MSDS or the label with you.
Swallowed: Hazardous, seek medical attention. Effects are cumulative and delayed in
action. Contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
Eye: Hold eyes open and wash with running water. Bromadiolone is may cause
slight irritation to the eye.
Skin: If on skin wash thoroughly with soap and water. Bromadiolone is a nonirritant
to the skin. Bromadiolone may be absorbed through the skin.
Advice to doctor: Vitamin K1 (phytomenadione) only, can be used as an antidote if patient
shows signs of anticoagulant poisoning (bleeding, haemorrhage). Repeat as
necessary based on monitoring of prothrombin (PT) times. It is important to
ascertain the route of exposure and the quantity of bait exposed to.
Prolonged PT times and symptoms may not be evident until several days
after exposure. Symptoms include anaemia, excessive bleeding from minor
cuts, nose bleeds and bleeding from the gums. Life threatening symptoms

include complications from massive gastrointestinal bleeding and
intracranial haemorrhage.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire & explosion hazards: The bait is not flammable and will not auto-ignite.
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder.
Hazards from combustion: In case of fire do not inhale fumes. Wear mask and gloves.
Special protective equipment: Use individual respiratory equipment to protect from fumes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spills and Disposal: While wearing rubber gloves, sweep-up spilt bait using a broom and shovel.
Dispose of bait by burial below 50 cm. Rinse away residue with excess
water.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute: Bromadiolone causes a depression in the liver function to activate vitamin K. This in
turn causes a decrease in blood clotting factors (II, VII, IX and X) causing an
antiprothrombin effect (the inability for the blood to clot). Large single doses can
cause acute poisoning. Bromadiolone can have a cumulative effect, causing
anticoagulation poisoning with a long latent period between ingestion and
symptoms. Anticoagulant effects may persist for days, weeks or months depending
on the dose consumed. Patients with hepatic dysfunction, malnutrition or a bleeding
diathesis are at greater risk. No definite toxic dose has been established for humans,
because of limited clinical reports. LD50 oral doses reported for rats are 1.12mg/kg
bw and mice 1.75mg/kg bw.
Swallowed: Poisonous if swallowed. Symptoms include bleeding from nose, gums, blood in
stool, blood in urine, bruising, fatigue and shortness of breath during exertion,
anaemia.
Eye: Avoid contact with eyes.
Skin: Avoid contact with skin. Bromadiolone may be absorbed through the skin.
Inhaled: There is no inhalation risk with the product.
Chronic: Repeated minor exposure may have a cumulative poisoning effect.
Studies on mutagenicity and teratogenicity effects have not shown any mutagenic, embryotoxic, or
teratogenic effect.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Information on nontarget
animal distribution, conservation status, habitat preference, diet, tolerance to 1080, body weight and
size of home range can be used to reduce poisoning risks posed by baiting programs. Time baiting programs
when non-target species are least active or least susceptible.
Ecotoxicity: Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or
used containers. Collect and burn or bury rodent carcasses daily.
Persistence and degradability: The product is biologically degradable and will not accumulate in soil or
water.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Disposal of bait: Bait that is not eaten by the end of the baiting program is to be collected and
destroyed by incineration, or buried to a depth of 50 cm.
Disposal of containers: Break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If
no landfill is available, bury the containers below 50 cm in a disposal pit. Empty
containers should not be burnt.
