Dust-OFF
and the Environment

A detailed study was conducted in 1989 by an independent environmental consulting firm on the environmental impact of Dust-Off.the study shows that when Dust-Off is used properly, and with appropriate precautions, it poses minimal environmental risk. It is recommended that Dust-Off not be applied if a domestic drinking water supply source is less than 25 ft. from the surface or on roads immediately adjacent to a low-volume stream or pond used as domestic water supply where Dust-Off applied could be washed into the stream or pond.

Dust-Off should not be applied directly to plants, since it can act as a defoliant. There will be some accumulation of Dust-Off in roadbeds and other areas receiving repeated applications and where there is no disturbance of the soil. The possible accumulation in these locations may affect chloride sensitive plants.

Although the composition of Dust-Off is of extremely low human toxicity, Dust-Off may cause mild skin irritation if it comes in contact with skin. Normal precautionary measures for the safe handling of liquids should be observed, e.g. goggles and flushing of skin contact areas with fresh water.
