Packing Group 1
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Deadly Poison. Subject to tracking requirements for
individual packs. Available for purchase and use only
by holders of Controlled Substances Licenses. This
substance must be under the control of an Approved
Handler for Class 6 and Class 9 Hazardous
substances at all times unless being transported by a
transport operator with a Dangerous Goods License
endorsement.
SYMPTOMS OF POISONING:
Early Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, tingling and numbness in face and hands, stomach pains,
apprehension and anxiety.
Later Symptoms: Muscular twitching, blurred vision, mental confusion.
Severe Symptoms: Coma, convulsions.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ingestion:
Seek immediate medical assistance in all cases where poisoning is
suspected. While the
National Poisons Centre
recommends against inducing
vomiting in most poisoning cases, should this material be swallowed, every
effort should be made to remove the solution from the mouth and stomach
immediately by any available means. Give the patient two glasses of water and
induce further vomiting – if necessary, by placing a finger down the throat.
Giving the patient ½ glass of whiskey with a tablespoon of sugar added may be
of benefit after vomiting has occurred.
Eye Contact:
Wash eyes with copious amounts of water.
Skin Contact:
Wash exposed area twice with soap and water, flushing well.
Contaminated
Clothing:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. Wear rubber gloves,
overalls and secure footwear when handling 1080 . Clothing and gloves must
be decontaminated by washing in hot soapy water. Ensure that all solution and
contaminated equipment and clothing is secured before removing from the work
site.
Do NOT induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if patient is unconscious or convulsing.
PROMPT TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL. CALL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
1080 solution produces no toxic emissions as either vapours, gases or odours. Hazards arise
through contact with the skin, eyes or by ingestion
.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In the event of major spills, inform the Fire Service immediately via the 111 emergency phone
service, and then local health protection officers at your District Health Board or hospital.
Isolate and cordon off spillage. If possible, recover any spilled solution by using an absorbent
material such as dry sawdust. Collect absorbent material and place in appropriately labeled
containers. Dispose of absorbent material by incinerating or by burying in a landfill approved for
hazardous substances. Wash down the spill area with copious water. Take all practicable steps to
manage any harmful effects of a spillage including preventing prepared baits from entering streams
or waterways. Scoop spilled baits into secure containers and dispose of spoiled bait as directed
below. Use a broom to collect fine material and wash down the spill area with copious water only
after all spilled bait has been removed. Give consideration to possible hazards arising from
1080 Solution Revised March 2016 Page 2 of 5
washing down and ensure people, pets, livestock, wildlife and fish will not be exposed to the dilute
toxic run-off.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
When handling open containers or preparing baits, wear overalls worn outside rubber boots, a
perspex face screen and impervious rubber or PVC gloves. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using
the product or handling open containers. Wash protective clothing and equipment daily after work.
Remove protective clothing and wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly before meals and after
any contact.
Store in original container, tightly closed, under lock and key and away from feed or foodstuffs.

micrograms of 1080 per ml in urine.
Tolerable Exposure Limits (TEL) : ERMA NZ has prescribed the TELwater for sodium
fluoroacetate, expressed as the amount of sodium fluoroacetate per volume of water as 0.0035
milligrams per litre of water (0.00000035%).
Engineering Measures: Decontaminants are water (dilution), heat > 120˚C (denaturing) and
microbial decomposition (degradation).
Personal Protection Equipment: Operators using or handling the product in open containers
must wear gloves, overalls, PVC apron, Perspex face mask and waterproof boots. Do not smoke,
drink or eat while handling the product. Wash hands, face and any exposed areas after use. Wash
protective equipment immediately after use or otherwise isolate and containerise for return to a
washing facility.

monofluoroacetate (1080) Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review”
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Use only for the purpose indicated and in the manner prescribed by the label. Sodium fluoroacetate
may be present for many months in the carcasses of poisoned animals; thus presenting a
secondary poisoning danger to carnivorous birds and mammals. Take steps to mitigate any
potential non-target exposure by wildlife or domestic animals. Studies have shown that 1080
concentrations will decline within rotting carcasses through the microbial degradation of 1080.
1080 wastes are ecotoxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide is unlawful. If wastes can not be
disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact local Regional Council or a hazardous
waste advisor for guidance.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Product: The best means of disposal is to use the substance for the purpose intended. The active
ingredient sodium fluoroacetate is degraded through microbial activity and will decompose at
temperatures above 200 degrees Celsius. It dilutes readily in water. Product which cannot be used
should be disposed of by incineration after being applied to an absorbent, flammable material such
as woodchips; or by treatment through a chemical treatment facility or sewage oxidation facility
where this is allowed by local by-laws and regulations.
Container disposal: Triple rinse empty containers, then puncture them before burying in a suitable
location at a landfill at a depth of at least 60 cm. Do not use the empty container for any other
purpose.

May be fatal if swallowed. Wear waterproof gloves when using 1080. Wash hands after handling
baits or animals that have been contaminated with 1080. Do not use poisoned or contaminated
animals for food or feed.
This product is toxic to wildlife. Birds and mammals feeding on carcasses of contaminated animals
may be fatally poisoned. Take measures to minimise the chance of the solution or baits accidentally
entering any body of water. Apply the product only as specified by label directions.
Where practicable, the exposed bodies of all poisoned animals should be collected and destroyed
by complete burning or deep burial at a landfill approved for hazardous wastes. Dehydrated
carcasses may remain dangerous to dogs or cats for an indefinite period. A single mouse poisoned
by 1080 may contain enough poison to kill an adult dog.
