11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION - continued

Chronic:

Beta-cyfluthrin is not mutagenic, carcinogenic or teratogenic and did not cause reproductive effects in animal studies.
There was no evidence of delayed neurotoxicity. This product contains naphthalene. The International Agency for
Research on Cancer evaluated naphthalene and concluded that there was sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in
experimental animals, but inadequate evidence for cancer in exposed humans. Accordingly, IARC classified naphthalene
as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B).

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Beta-cyfluthrin is very toxic to aquatic organisms. It is dangerous to bees. It has a low toxicity to birds, mammals and
earthworms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with Bulldock Duo or the used containers.

Ecotoxicity Beta-cyfluthin:
Fish toxicity: LC50 (96 h): 0.33 碌g/L; golden orfe (Leuciscus idus)
LC50 (96 h): 0.068 碌g/L; rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
LC50 (96 h): 0.28 碌g/L; trout (Lepomis macrochirus)
Daphnia toxicity: EC50 (48 h): 0.29 碌g/L; water flea (Daphnia magna)
Algal toxicity:
Growth rate: IC50 (96 h): > 10 碌g/L; green algae (Scenedesmus subspicatus)
Toxicity to bacteria:
EC50: > 10000 mg/L; activated sludge
Bird toxicity:
Acute oral LD50: > 2000 mg/kg; Japanese quail

Bulldock Duo
Fish toxicity: LC50 (96 h): 0.08 碌g/L; rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Algal toxicity:
Growth rate: IC50 (96 h): 36.8 mg/L; green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus)

Environmental fate, The degradation of beta-cyfluthrin is rapid in different soils. Leaching behaviour can be
persistence and classified as immobile. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of beta-cyfluthrin is 506. It is readily
degradability, biodegradable. The hydrocarbon solvent is volatile and will evaporate if released into water. It
mobility is biodegradable.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

When returnable container is empty or contents no longer required return it to the point of purchase. For non-returnable
containers, triple or (preferably) pressure rinse them before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of
undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point.
If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available,
bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways,
desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt. Dispose of waste product through
a reputable waste contractor.
