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 remove packages from container except for immediate use. Do not store at
temperatures below 0掳C (32掳F). Rough handling may cause breakage, especially at low temperatures.
Allow to warm above 10掳C (50掳F) before use. Do not allow inner bags to become wet during storage. Do
not handle inner bag with wet hands or wet gloves. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water,
food or feed by storage or disposal.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
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 rubber 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.

ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product is expected to have
moderate oral and inhalation, and low dermal toxicity. It is expected to be mildly irritating to the eyes and
non-irritating to the skin. Signs of toxicity in laboratory animals included nasal discharge, diarrhea,
convulsions, tremors and oral discharge. Bifenthrin does not cause acute delayed neurotoxicity. Experience
to date indicates that contact with bifenthrin may occasionally produce skin sensations such as rashes,
numbing, burning or tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, bifenthrin did not cause reproductive toxicity or
teratogenicity. Tremors were associated with repeated exposure of laboratory animals to bifenthrin. In
lifetime feeding studies conducted with rodents, a slight increase in the incidence of urinary bladder tumors
at the highest dose in male mice was considered to be an equivocal response, not evidence of a clear
compound-related effect. The overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicity tests
with bifenthrin. 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: In soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and degrades
at a slow rate that is governed by soil characteristics. Bifenthrin will also persist in aquatic sediments.
Bifenthrin has a high Log Pow (6.6), a high affinity for organic matter, and is not mobile in soil. Therefore,
there is little potential for movement into ground water. There is the potential for bifenthrin to
bioconcentrate (BCF <2,000).
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Bifenthrin is highly toxic to fish and
aquatic arthropods and LC50 values range from 0.0038 to 17.8 碌g/L. In general, the aquatic arthropods are
the most sensitive species. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic environment.
Bifenthrin had no effect on mollusks at its limit of water solubility. Bifenthrin is only slightly toxic to both
waterfowl and upland game birds (LD50 values range from 1,800 mg/kg to >2,150 mg/kg).
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.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers which held this material should be cleaned,
and may be disposed of in a sanitary landfill or by incineration. If the outer container contacts formulated
product in any way, it must be triple-rinsed with clean water. Add rinse to the spray tank and dispose of the
outer package as described above.
