3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists of this product. Prolonged or frequently
repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Applicators and other handlers must wear a long-sleeved shirt and long-pants, chemical-resistant gloves such
as Barrier Laminate, Nitrile Rubber, Neoprene Rubber or Viton, shoes and socks.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Causes temporary irritation, tearing, and blurred vision.
SKIN: Can cause skin irritation. Can cause a burning or prickling sensation on more sensitive areas (face,
eyes, mouth). Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Harmful if absorbed through the skin.
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed.
INHALATION: Excessive inhalation may be irritating to the respiratory tract.
CHRONIC: None known.
COMMENTS: This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR
1910.1200).
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
Page 2 of 6
PyGanic庐 Crop Protection EC 1.4 ii
present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment
advice.
SKIN: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a
poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
INGESTION: If swallowed, call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person
sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or a
doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION: Remove affected person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give
artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further
treatment advice.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: For skin effects, a highly efficient therapeutic agent for pyrethrin exposure is topical
application of tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E).

with full protective gear. Keep nearby containers and equipment cool with a water stream.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Stop release, if possible without risk. Dike or contain release, if possible, and if immediate
response can prevent further damage or danger. Isolate and control access to the release area. Take actions to
reduce vapors. Absorb with appropriate absorbent such as sand, or vermiculite. Clean spill area of residues and
absorbent.
LARGE SPILL: Stop release, if possible without risk. Dike or contain release, if possible, and if immediate
response can prevent further damage or danger. Isolate and control access to the release area. Take actions to

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE
DERMAL LD50: >2000 mg/kg
Albino rabbit.
ORAL LD50: >2000 mg/kg
Albino rat.
INHALATION LC50: The Acute Inhalation LC50 of this material places it in EPA Toxic Category IV.
EYE EFFECTS: Conjunctival irritation clearing in 72 hours.
SKIN EFFECTS: Slight irritation at 72 hours. Irritation Index = 1.58
SENSITIZATION: Positive
COMMENTS: None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1%
are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as being carcinogens.
Carcinogenicity/ Oncogenicity-Pyrethrum has been tested in chronic feeding studies in mice and rats. Slightly
elevated incidences of benign tumors of the thyroid and liver were seen in rats following high doses of
Pyrethrum. Further detailed scientific studies into the mechanism causing these responses indicate that these
effects in the animals only occur at doses greatly exceeding the likely human exposure levels. Thus, the effects
seen in animals are of little relevance to humans.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
