Application personnel must participate in Douglas Products’ Sulfuryl Fluoride Training and Stewardship Plan unless they are grandfathered in.  True or False

Do not remove valve protection bonnet and safety cap until immediately before use. Replace safety cap and valve protection bonnet when cylinder is not in use.    True or False

Precautionary Statements Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals Extremely Hazardous Liquid And Vapor Under Pressure • Fatal If Inhaled • May Be Fatal If Swallowed • Liquid May Cause Freeze Burns of Exposed Skin Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Vikane® specialty gas fumigant is odorless. Exposure to toxic levels may occur without warning or detection by the user.    True or False

Prior to the parties entering into a fumigation agreement, the Fact Sheet for Vikane must be provided to an adult occupant of the structure to be fumigated. When fumigating a multi-unit building an adult occupant of each currently-occupied unit must be provided with the Fact Sheet for Vikane.    True or False

A connected structure is defined as any structure connected with the structure to be fumigated by construction elements (e.g., pipes, conduits, ducts, etc.) which may allow passage of fumigant between the structures.    True or False

Chloropicrin is a warning agent introduced into the structure during fumigation. In order to avoid direct exposure to the fumigant being released, chloropicrin must be released within the structure at least 5 to 10 minutes prior to introduction of the fumigant.    True or False

Only a certified applicator may authorize removal of placards, and only when the concentration of Vikane within the structure where individuals typically stand, sit or lie down, is 12 ppm or less.   True or False

Open all operable attic doors and accesses and direct a fan into the attic. If the structure has an attached garage, the door between the garage and structure should be open.  True or False

If the structure has a central air handling system, the fan (or blower) should be activated for each unit if operational. As an alternative, a fan may be placed in front of a furnace inlet to blow air into central heating and cooling ducts.   True or False

IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing Immediately call a poison center or doctor/physician.    True or False

Other Hazards.  Vikane is not very toxic to aquatic life.    True or False

Skin Contact Liquid: Immediately apply water to contaminated area of clothing before removing. Once area has thawed, remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and other items covering skin. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Thoroughly aerate clothing and shoes contacted by liquid fumigant before wearing again.    True or False

Storage Conditions:  Keep container tightly closed and store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place.  Keep/store only in original container. Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or potable water supplies.    True or False

Skin and Body Protection:  Wear clean, body-covering clothing. Chemical protective gloves should not be needed when handling this material.    True or False

Per EPA Pesticide Label, Vikane is extremely Hazardous Liquid And Vapor Under Pressure. Fatal If Inhaled. May Be Fatal If Swallowed.  Liquid May Cause Freeze Burns of Exposed Skin. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Vikane specialty gas fumigant is odorless. Exposure to toxic levels may occur without warning or detection by the user.    True or False

Inhalation:  Fatal if inhaled. Vapor concentrations are attainable which may be fatal with single exposure.  Excessive exposure may cause severe irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs.    True or False

Structures can be occupied only when the concentration is 1 part per million or less (this represents a margin of safety – laboratory animals have been exposed to 100 parts per million for 2 weeks with no adverse effects).    True or False

Sulfuryl fluoride is a gas that can potentially enter your body only through inhalation. Because it is a gas, it does not stay on dry surfaces; therefore, there is no exposure from touching treated surfaces.    True or False

Use 1 fl oz/10,000 to 15,000 cubic feet (30 ml/283 to 425 cubic meters) of space to be fumigated or follow dosage rate calculated by the electronic FumiguideTM system.    True or False
