ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where vapor or
mist may be emitted.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective goggles
or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For splash, mist or spray 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
PVC. 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.

EYE EFFECTS: Mildly irritating
SKIN EFFECTS: Slightly irritating
DERMAL LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg (rabbit)

INHALATION LC50: > 2.28 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
SENSITIZATION: (Skin) Non-sensitizing (guinea pig)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has moderate oral, and
low dermal and inhalation toxicity. It is mildly irritating to the eyes, and slightly irritating to the skin. It is
non-sensitizing 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. In
humans, ingestion of large amounts of propylene glycol has resulted in symptoms of reversible central
nervous system depression including stupor, rapid breathing and heartbeat, profuse sweating and seizures.
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 laboratory animals, 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
Page 5 of 10
CAPTURE庐 LFR SOIL INSECTICIDE (82657-04-3-136) Date: 01/02/2007
in experimental animals with relevance to humans). Repeated overexposure to propylene glycol can
produce central nervous system depression, hemolysis and minimal kidney damage.

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.
