5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Slightly combustible. May support combustion at
elevated temperatures. Finely dispersed particles can form explosive mixtures in air.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective
equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons
and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Large spills should be covered to prevent
dispersal. For dry material, use a wet sweeping compound or water to prevent the formation of dust. If
water is used, prevent runoff or dispersion of excess liquid by diking and absorbing with a non-combustible
absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump all waste material, including absorbent, into
a drum and label contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize contaminated area, scrub area with a solution of detergent (e.g. commercial product
such as SuperSoap鈩?, Tide庐, Spic and Span庐, or other high pH detergent) and water. Let solution sit for 5
minutes. Use a stiff brush to scrub affected area. Repeat if necessary to remove visible staining.
Additional decontamination can be made by applying bleach (Clorox庐 or equivalent) to affected area.
Absorb wash-liquid as noted above, remove visibly contaminated soil and place into recovery / disposal
container (plastic, open-top steel drum or equivalent). Place all clean-up material in a container, seal and
dispose of in accordance with the method outlined in Section 13 "Disposal Considerations" below.
For further information on spill clean-up, waste disposal, or return of salvaged product, call the FMC
Emergency Hotline number listed in Section 1 "Product and Company Identification" above.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or
store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children
and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

EXPOSURE LIMITS
Chemical Name ACGIH OSHA Supplier
0.05 mg/m3 (TWA) 0.1 mg/m3 (PEL)
Silica, quartz
(respirable fraction) (respirable dust)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: No open flames. Prevent deposition of dust; use closed
system, consider use of dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Use local exhaust at all
process locations where dust may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For dust exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or
full-face air-purifying respirator, which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN
or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne
concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear
coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work
clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as nitrile or neoprene.
Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for
leaks.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of
eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Shower at
the end of the workday.
COMMENTS:
Personal protective recommendations for mixing or applying this product are prescribed on the product
label. Information stated above provides useful, additional guidance for individuals whose use or handling
of this product is not guided by the product label.

INHALATION LC50: > 5.27 mg/l (1 h) (rat)
SENSITIZATION: This product produces skin sensitization (allergic reaction) in laboratory
animals, and may produce similar effects in humans.
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral and dermal
toxicity, and moderate inhalation toxicity. It is mildly irritating to the eyes and slightly irritating to the skin.
Experience to date indicates that contact with this product has rarely produced skin sensations such as
numbing, burning or tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours. Large,
toxic doses administered to laboratory animals have produced symptoms such as diarrhea, salivation,
tremors and intermittent convulsions. Overexposure to animals, via inhalation, has also produced
hyperactivity and hypersensitivity.

CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, permethrin did not cause reproductive toxicity or
teratogenicity. Analysis of chronic feeding studies in both mice and rats with permethrin resulted in the
conclusion that permethrin's potential for induction of oncogenicity in experimental animals is low and that
the likelihood of oncogenic effects in humans is nonexistent or extremely low. Long-term feeding studies in
animals resulted in increased liver and kidney weights, induction of the liver microsomal drug metabolizing
enzyme system and histopathological changes in the lungs and liver. An overall absence of genotoxicity has
been demonstrated in mutagenicity testing with permethrin. Repeated overexposure to crystalline silica for
extended periods has caused acute silicosis. IARC has classified crystalline silica, inhaled in the form of
quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources, as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). NTP has classified
respirable crystalline silica (quartz, cristobalite and tridymite) as "known to be a human carcinogen". The
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has concluded that silica quartz is a
suspected human carcinogen (A2 - limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence
of carcinogenicity in experimental animals with relevance to humans).

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Permethrin is stable at a wide range of pH values. Permethrin
has a moderate rate of degradation in soil and the half-life is related to the soil type, microbial population,
concentration in the soil and the aerobic condition of the soil. Because of its high affinity for organic matter
(Koc = 86,000), there is little potential for movement in soil or entry into ground water. Permethrin has a
Log Pow of 6.1, but because of the ease with which biological systems degrade the molecule, the potential
for bioconcentration and accumulation in the environment is low (BCF = 500).
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Permethrin is highly toxic to fish (LC50 =
0.5 碌g/L to 315 碌g/L) and aquatic arthropods (LC50 = 0.02 碌g/L to 7.6 碌g/L). Marine species are often
more sensitive than the freshwater species. Bacteria, algae, mollusks and amphibians are much more
tolerant of permethrin than the fish and arthropods. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the
aquatic environment. Permethrin is slightly toxic to birds and oral LD50 values are greater than 3600 mg/kg.
Longer dietary studies showed that concentrations of up to 500 ppm in the diet had no effect on bird
reproduction.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited.
If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards
and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory
requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
