3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: CAUTION. Contents under pressure. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flame,
and any other ignition sources. Do not expose to temperatures above 130掳F (54.4掳C) as bursting may occur.
Harmful if swallowed. Contains petroleum distillates; Vomiting may pose an aspiration pneumonia hazard.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mists of this product.
DO NOT puncture or incinerate container.
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).
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 of mists can cause nasal and respiratory irritation.

CHRONIC: None known.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
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, IMMEDIATELY call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. DO NOT
give any liquid to the person. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison contol 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: 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: This aerosol is estimated to be NON-FLAMMABLE based on the materials in the
formulation.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: This product is classified as Non-Combustible, however in the
exteme temperatures that fires may produce, some of the constituents of this formula may decompose to give
off such gases as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Contents under pressure. Exposure to temperatures above 130掳F / 54.4掳C may cause
bursting.
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.
SENSITIVITY TO IMPACT: Forceful impacts can cause damage to aerosol unit and may cause a bursting or
explosion hazard.
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
reduce vapors. Collect product into drums, storage tanks, etc., via drains, pumps, etc. Absorb with appropriate
absorbent such as sand or vermiculite. 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: Contents under pressure. Do not pucture or incinerate. Do not use near heat,sparks, open flame, or
any other ignition sources. Do not remain in the building during treatment. Ventilate thoroughly for 30 minute's
before reoccupying treated area. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mists. Do not contaminate water, feed or food
by storage, handling or disposal.
READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LABEL.
STORAGE: This cylinder must be checked periodically. A defective cylinder should not be used. A cylinder that
has parts missing, is plainly worn or distorted should be replaced immediately.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, preferably locked storage area. Exposure to temperatures above 130掳F /
54.4掳C may cause bursting. Store containers upright and closed. Keep away from heat, ignition sources, and
strong oxidizers. Emptied containers may retain product residues.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE
Acute toxicological data not available.
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.
Doses at which these effects were observed greatly exceed anticipated human dietary intake. At
anticipated dietary exposure levels, it is highly unlikely that this product will result in carcinogenic
effects.
