3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: CAUTION. OSHA-COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID. Do not use or store near heat, sparks,
open flame, or any other ignition sources. Harmful if swallowed. Contains Petroleum Distillates; DO NOT
induce vomiting due to aspiration pneumonia hazard. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid
breathing vapors or spray mists of this product.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: May cause eye irritation.
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: May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
INGESTION: Harmful if swallowed. Small amounts of this product aspirated into the respiratory system during
ingestion or vomiting may cause mild to severe lung injury.
INHALATION: Excessive inhalation may be irritating to the respiratory tract.

CHRONIC: None known.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
SKIN: Wash affected areas with plenty of soap and water. If irritation persist, get medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed call a physician or poison control center and seek medical attention immediately. DO
NOT induce vomiting due to aspiration pneumonia hazard. Avoid Alcohol. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
INHALATION: Remove affected person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration and
seek medical attention immediately.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Contains Pyrethrins and Petroleum Distillates-vomiting may pose an aspiration
pneumonia hazard.
For skin effects, a highly efficient therapeutic agent for Pyrethrin exposure is topical application of Tocopherol
Acetate (Vitamin E).
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLAMMABLE CLASS: OSHA-COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Under fire conditions this product will support combustion and may
decompose to give off toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Treat as an oil fire. Use a full-faced self-contained breathing apparatus along
with full protective gear. Keep nearby containers and equipment cool with a water stream.
SENSITIVE TO STATIC DISCHARGE: Yes, use proper bonding and/or grounding procedures.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: Shut off ignition sources. 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. Clean spill area of residues
and absorbent.
LARGE SPILL: Shut off ignition sources. 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. Collect product into drums, etc. via drains, pumps, etc. Absorb
with appropriate absorbent. Clean spill area of residues and absorbent.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
WATER SPILL: Contains Pyrethrins, which are toxic to fish and other aquatic invertebrates. Contaminated
absorbent and wash water should be disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Do not use near heat, open flame, or any other ignition source.
HANDLING: Take prudent precautions to avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Mechanical ventilation
should be used when handling this product in enclosed spaces. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists of this
product. Wearing a respirator is not normally required when handling this product, but recommended in the
absence of proper mechanical ventilation. Do not contaminate water, food or feedstuffs, by storage, handling,

ACUTE
DERMAL LD50: >5000 mg/kg
Albino rabbit.
ORAL LD50: >5000 mg/kg
Albino rat.
INHALATION LC50: >4.93 mg / L
Rats exposed for 4 hours to test atmosphere.
EYE EFFECTS: Slightly irritating.
SKIN EFFECTS: Slightly irritating.
SENSITIZATION: When applied dermally to albino guinea pigs, this product appears to be a dermal sensitizer.
CARCINOGENICITY:
CARCINOGENICITY 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.
Marginally higher incidences of benign liver tumors in mice were observed following lifetime high dose
exposures to PBO. The significance of these observations is questionable and under review. The doses at
which tumors were observed for PBO greatly exceeded potential human exposure from labeled uses.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
