Pyceze
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use in smolting Atlantic salmon or Rainbow Trout alevins as studies have indicated increased toxicity at this stage
Special precautions for use
Data appears to demonstrate that Pyceze, once diluted in a fixed volume of water may be degraded by prolonged or repeated exposure to high intensity ultra-violet light. Degradation of Pyceze may alter its toxicity profile. It is therefore recommended that Pyceze treated water is not passed repeatedly through ultra-violet sterilizing filters.
Irritating to eyes, lungs and skin.
Wear suitable protective clothing, impermeable gloves (0.3mm nitrile rubber) and face shield when using the product. After contact with the skin, wash immediately and - in case of contact with the eyes - rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Do not smoke, drink or eat when using the product and wash hands carefully after use.
