SECTION 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
NOTE: Please refer to Section 11 for detailed toxicological information.
Emergency Overview May be fatal if swallowed. Corrosive to eyes. Causes irreversible damage. The
active ingredient at high concentrations is highly toxic to fish and other aquatic
organisms. High concentrations of vapor can cause headache, dizziness,
drowsiness and unconsciousness.
Physical State liquid
Odor Aromatic
Appearance Red
Routes of Exposure Skin absorption and mist or vapor inhalation.
Immediate Effects
Eye Corrosive - causes irreversible eye damage.
Skin Can cause irritation to the skin resulting in effects such as burning and/or tingling
sensation. Harmful if absorbed through skin.
Ingestion May be fatal if swallowed.
Inhalation Harmful if inhaled.
Signs and Symptoms Overexposure to tralomethrin (the active ingredient): Can cause unsteadiness,
body tremors, uncoordinated movements, convulsions and extreme exhaustion.
Overexposure to the solvent vapor or spray mist can cause irritation to mucous
membranes, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness and other
central nervous system effects.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin Wash off with soap and water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician.
Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician. Gastric lavage should be supervised by
trained personnel because of the possible pulmonary damage via aspiration of
the solvent. Contains petroleum distillates. If possible, bring container and
labeling to the attending physician.
Inhalation Consult a physician if irritation of the respiratory passages occurs.
Note to Physician Experience in humans is limited. This compound is not a classic cholinesterase
inhibitor but animal studies have shown that the use of atropine and diazapam
may be effective in treating the symptomatology (peripheral cholinergic disorders
and seizures respectively).

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls Control airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines. Local exhaust
ventilation may be necessary, when used in a confined area.
Eye/Face Protection goggles or face-shield
Body Protection Impermeable rubber gloves (such as neoprene or PVC). Hat, impermeable pants
& shirts, and waterproof boots.
AGRICULTURAL USES: The following personal protective equipment (PPE)
must be worn when using product or upon early entry into treated areas during
the Restricted Entry Interval (REI):

THE FOLLOWING DATA WERE DEVELOPED WITH: Tralomethrin Technical, the active ingredient
Chronic Toxicity Signs of toxicity in subchronic and/or chronic studies in mice, rats and dogs were
salivation, body tremors, ataxia, convulsions, and prostration at high doses.
These symptoms were reversible upon cessation of exposure. Pathological
examinations revealed no structural changes in peripheral or central nervous
system. There were no indications of carcinogenicity in rats or mice from lifetime
exposure to tralomethrin.

Reproductive & This product contains tralomethrin which produced decreased pup body weight
Developmental Toxicity gain as the only developmental effect observed in a two generation reproduction
study in rats. There were no effects on fertility in this study.
Teratogenicity This product contains tralomethrin which produced no embryotoxic or fetotoxic
effects when tested in pregnant rats or rabbits.
Mutagenicity Tralomethrin has been tested in a variety of mutagenicity tests in bacterian and
mammalian cells, both in-vitro and in-vivo. These studies indicate that
tralomethrin is non-mutagenic.
SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
_
Environmental This pesticide is extremely toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms, including
Precautions crab and shrimp. Use with care when applying in areas adjacent to any body of
water. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or
to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not apply when weather
conditions favor drift from treated areas. Drift or runoff from treated fields may kill
fish and other aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water when disposing of
equipment washwaters.
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues
remaining on the treated areas. Do not apply this product or allow drift when
bees are actively visiting the treatment area. Do not apply it or allow it to drift to
crops or weeds on which bees are actively foraging. Notify state and/or Federal
authorities and Aventis immediately if you observe any adverse environmental
effects due to the use of this product.
