EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: White uniform liquid with slight solvent odor.
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: CAUSES MODERATE EYE IRRITATION
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES OR CLOTHING
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: This substance may cause moderate eye irritation. See Toxicological Information, section 11.
SKIN: This substance is not expected to cause skin irritation and is only slightly toxic if absorbed through the skin. See
Toxicological Information, section 11.
INGESTION: This substance is slightly toxic if swallowed. The degree of injury will depend on the amount absorbed from the gut.
See Toxicological Information, Section 11.
INHALATION: Overexposure to the spray mist may be irritating to the respiratory tract. If inhaled, this substance is considered
practically non-toxic to internal organs. See Toxicological Information, section 11.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue rinsing eyes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
SKIN: If on skin or clothing, take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 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 glass of water if
able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control center or doctor. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
INHALATION: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration,
preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.

FLASHPOINT AND METHOD: None
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use CO2, Dry Chemical or Foam extinguishing media.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Heating this material may generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen
chloride and hydrogen fluoride.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Products of combustion from fires involving this material may be toxic. Avoid breathing smoke
and mists. Avoid personnel and equipment contact with fallout and runoff. Minimize the amount of water used for fire fighting. Do not
enter any enclosed area without full protective equipment, including self-contained breathing equipment. Contain and isolate runoff
and debris for proper disposal. Decontaminate personal protective equipment and fire fighting equipment before reuse. Read the entire
document.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILL: While wearing rubber gloves, soak up spilled material with paper towels and discard in trash.
LARGE SPILL: Liquid spills on floor or other impervious surfaces should be contained or diked, and should be absorbed with
attapulgite, bentonite or other absorbent clays. Collect contaminated absorbent, place in plastic-lined metal drum and dispose of in
accordance with instructions provided under Section 13. "DISPOSAL". Thoroughly scrub floor or other impervious surface with a
strong industrial type detergent solution and rinse with water. For liquid spills that soak into the ground, contact the applicable Federal,
State and or County Health Dept. for disposal recommendations. If disposal is required then refer to Section 13 "DISPOSAL" for
instructions. Leaking containers should be separated from non-leakers and either the container or its contents transferred to a drum or
other non-leaking container and disposed of in accordance with instructions provided under Section 13 "Disposal". Any recovered
spilled liquid should be similarly collected and disposed of. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs or feed by storage or disposal.
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Observe all protection and safety precautions when cleaning up spills -- see Section 8. "EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION".
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Store in cool dry place, preferably in a locked storage area and avoid excess heat. Keep pesticide in
original container.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use this material only in well ventilated areas.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYES AND FACE: Wear chemical safety goggles to prevent eye contact during operations such as mixing or transfer or other
activities when there is potential for eye contact.
SKIN: Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize skin contamination by following good handling
practices. Applicators and other handlers must wear: long sleeved shirt, long pants, and shoes with socks. Wash hands and
contaminated skin throughly after handling.
RESPIRATORY: Avoid breathing vapor or mist. This product is not likely to pose an airborne exposure concern when handled
and used in accordance with label instructions.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE
EYES: Rabbit - moderately irritating, irritation cleared by 48 hours.
EPA FIFRA toxicity category - lll.
DERMAL LD50: Rat = >10 g/kg. EPA FIFRA toxicity category - IV.
SKIN IRRITATION: Rabbit - nonirritating, contact with bifenthrin may produce reversible skin sensations such as numbness,
burning and tingling. The skin sensations usually subside within 12 hours. EPA FIFRA toxicity category - IV.
ORAL LD50: Rat = > 5 g/kg. EPA FIFRA toxicity Category - IV.
INHALATION LC50: Rat - 4 hour inhalation = > 5.0 mg/liter.
EPA FIFRA toxicity category - IV.
SENSITIZATION: Guinea pig - no evidence of allergic skin reactions.
SUBCHRONIC:
CARCINOGENICITY : Mouse lifetime feeding study - high dose males - demonstrated an increase in urinary bladder
hemangiopericytomas. There was no evidence of increased tumors in the other male or female mice dose levels. The mouse no
observed effect level (NOEL) was male 75 mg/kg/dy, female 90 mg/kg/dy.
Rat lifetime feeding study - no findings of tumors. The rat NOEL was 10 mg/kg/dy. EPA classified bifenthrin - Group C
carcinogen.
NEUROTOXICITY: Bifenthrin has not been associated with delayed peripheral neuropathy. Overexposure to pyrethroids results in a
transient disruption in the depolarization of nerve membranes by interfering with the closing of the sodium channels. Depending upon
the degree of overexposure, signs of overexposure may be displayed by tremors, muscle fasciculations, ataxia, spasms,
hyperexcitability, hyperactivity and convulsions. Localized skin contact with bifenthrin may result in temporay burning, tingling or
numbness sensations.
TERATOGENICITY: Bifenthrin is not considered to be a teratogen (a substance that causes birth defects). The rat and rabbit
developmental NOELs were 1 and 8 mg/kg/dy, respectively.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXIN: Bifenthrin is not considered to cause adverse reproductive effects. Results of a rat multigeneration
reproduction study indicated no developmental toxicity or reproductive effects at the highest dose level of approximately 15 mg/kg/dy.
The maternal toxicity NOEL was approximately 5 mg/kg/dy.
MUTAGENICITY: The results of a series of mutation testing indicate that bifenthrin has a low order of mutagenic potential.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: In soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and degrades at a slow rate which is governed by soil
characteristcs. Bifenthrin will also persist in aquatic sediments. Bifenthrin has a high Log Pow (>6.0), 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 = 11,750).
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Bifenthrin is highly toxic to fish and aquatic arthropods and LC50 values range from
0.0038ug/L to 17.8 ug/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 1800 mg/kg to >2150 mg/kg).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
FOR LARGE SPILLS: Material collected that cannot be reprocessed should be disposed of in a landfill approved for pesticide
disposal or in accordance with applicable Federal, state, or local procedures.
