SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Potential Health Effects
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: If sufficient quantity of the product is ingested, it may be fatal. May cause irritation to
the eyes, nose, throat and skin.
CARCINOGENICITY: Permethrin: A statistically significant increase of lung and liver tumors was observed in female mice
receiving diets containing 375 and 750 mg/Kg/day over 85 weeks. Piperonyl Butoxide: Marginally higher incidences of
benign liver tumors in mice were observed following lifetime high dose exposures. The significance of this observation is
questionable and under review. The doses at which tumors were observed greatly exceeded human dietary intake. At
anticipated dietary exposure levels, it is highly unlikely that piperonyl butoxide would result in carcinogenic effects. IARC
has also concluded that there is no evidence for the carcinogenicity of white oils when administered by routes other than
by interperitoneal injection. The solvent is not carcinogenic according to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Can cause eye irritation and possible corneal injury. Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water and get
medical attention.
SKIN: Immediately wash with soap and water. If skin irritation occurs, consult a physician.
INGESTION: May cause gastro-intestinal irritation or nausea. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
INHALATION: Move person to an area of fresh air and give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing difficulty
persists, get immediate medical attention.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
FLASH POINT: NE
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of
combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings, area
and equipment until decontaminated. Use as little water as possible to prevent spread of contaminated
runoff.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear chemical safety glasses with side
shields or chemical goggles, rubber gloves, rubber boots, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, to prevent contact with spilled
material. For small spills, cover the spill with an absorbent material such as pet litter. Sweep up and place in an approved
chemical container. Wash the spill area with water containing a strong detergent, absorb with pet litter or other absorbent
material, sweep up and place in a chemical container. Seal the container and handle in an approved manner. Flush the
area with water to remove any residue. Do not allow wash water to contaminate water supplies.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area, out of the reach of children and
domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco
usage, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Always wash thoroughly
after handling.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
The employee must wear protective clothing and related safety equipment. Good ventilation should be sufficient for most
conditions. Positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus should be used for confined spaces and high exposure
operations. The employee should shower at the end of the workday. The employee must wear clean clothes every day or
after a spill if the clothes become contaminated. Always wash hands and face with soap and water prior to eating,
drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. It is best not to wear contact lenses but use safety prescription glasses.

benign liver tumors in mice were observed following lifetime high dose exposures. The significance of this observation is

SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Permethrin and piperonyl butoxide are highly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Do not apply directly to water, or
to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark other than as instructed on
