4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical
attention.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting and do not give liquids of any kind to the person. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, obtain
medical attention.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product has low oral, dermal and inhalation
toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes and non-irritating to the skin. This product contains a granular
material (clay) that may cause mechanical irritation to the eyes. Contains petroleum distillates that can
produce a severe pneumonitis or fatal pulmonary edema if aspirated during vomiting. Consideration should
be given to gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in place. Reversible skin sensations (paresthesia) may
occur and ordinary skin salves have been found useful in reducing discomfort. Treatment is otherwise
controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care.

CAPTURE庐 1.15 G INSECTICIDE (82657-04-3-82) Date: 06/23/2006
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

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, neoprene or
nitrile. 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.

EYE EFFECTS: Minimally irritating (rabbit)
SKIN EFFECTS: Non-irritating (rabbit)
DERMAL LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ORAL LD50: 7,431 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: > 5.73 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
SENSITIZATION: This product is not a skin sensitizer.
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral, dermal
and inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes and non-irritating to the skin. Large doses of
bifenthrin ingested by laboratory animals produced signs of toxicity including convulsions, tremors and
bloody nasal 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. Inhalation of petroleum
distillate vapors may cause dizziness, disturbances in vision, drowsiness, respiratory irritation, and eye, skin
and mucous membrane irritation. Vomiting after ingestion of this product may cause aspiration of
petroleum distillates into the lungs, which may result in fatal pulmonary edema.

CAPTURE庐 1.15 G INSECTICIDE (82657-04-3-82) Date: 06/23/2006
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. Chronic exposure to petroleum distillates may cause headaches, dizziness, loss of
sensations or feelings (such as numbness), and liver and kidney damage. Repeated overexposure to
crystalline silica for extended periods has caused acute silicosis. The International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) has classified crystalline silica, inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources, as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has
classified respirable crystalline silica (quartz, cristobalite and tridymite) as "reasonably anticipated to be
carcinogenic". 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).
CARCINOGENICITY:
Chemical Name IARC NTP OSHA Other
Silica, quartz Listed Listed Not listed (ACGIH) Listed
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Bifenthrin has moderate stability in the soil under aerobic
conditions (half-life range from 65 - 125 days depending on soil type) and is stable at a wide range of pH
values. 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: Completely empty package into application equipment. Then dispose
of empty package in a sanitary landfill or by incineration, or if allowed by State and local authorities, by
burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
