  HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: NO



  CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid contact with heat or open flame.







11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

  ACUTE

    EYES: Minimally irritating (rabbit); information based on a similar formulation.

     DERMAL LD50: For a similar formulation - Moderately irritating (rabbit), Dermal LD50 > 5 g/kg (rat).

     ORAL LD50: The Oral LD50 > 5 g/kg (rat) for a similar formulation containing a 2.4% bifenthrin concentration.

     INHALATION LC50: The 4-hour inhalation LC50 =8.91 mg/L air (rat) for a similar formulation containing a 2.4% bifenthrin

       concentration.

     Bifenthrin may occaisionally produce skin sensations such as paresthesia (numbing) or a tingling and/or burning of the skin. These

       sensations are reversible and typically subside within 12 hours.



  SENSITIZATION: A similar formulation containing 2.4% bifenthrin was not found to be a skin sensitizer.



  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.



  PRODUCT DISPOSAL: If necessary to dispose of partially filled product container, securely wrap it in several layers of newspaper

   and discard in trash.



  EMPTY CONTAINER: Do not reuse container. Wrap empty container in several layers of newspaper and discard in trash.
