Skin: Non-irritant (rabbit).
Not a skin sensitiser (guinea pig)
Eyes: Non-irritating (rabbits)
Bifenthrin was not genotoxic in battery of mutagenicity assays.
Animals studies have shown that bifenthrin is not teratogenic nor does
it cause reproductive toxic effects. ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake) for
humans is 0.01 mg/kg bw/day.
The toxicity of the product may also be attributed to the solvent it
contains which may cause central nervous system depression.
Additive effects may occur with mixtures of solvents. Some solvents
have effects on the eyes and skin.
The irritation nature of the product is attributed to the additive effects
of the surfactants and solvent components.
Acute Effects from over Exposure:
This product has moderate inhalation, and low oral and dermal toxicity. It is
practically non-irritating to the eyes and non-irritating to the skin. Large
doses of bifenthrin ingested by laboratory animals produced signs of toxicity
including convulsions, tremors and bloody nasal discharge. Bifenthrin does
not cause acute delayed neurotoxicity. Experience to date indicates that
contact with bifenthrin may occasionally produce skin sensations such as
rashes, numbing, burning or tingling. These sensations are reversible and

usually subside within 12 hours. These sensations are reversible and usually
subside within 12 hours. In humans, ingestion of large amounts of propylene
glycol has resulted in breathing and heartbeat, profuse sweating and
seizures.
Chronic Effects From Overexposure:
No data available for the formulation. In studies with laboratory animals,
bifenthrin did not cause reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity. Tremors were
associated with repeated exposure of laboratory animals to bifenthrin. In life
time feeding studies conducted with rodents, a slight increase in the
incidence of urinary bladder tumors at the highest dose in male mice was
considered to be an equivocal response, not evidence of a clear compound-
related effect. The overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in
mutagenicity tests with bifenthrin. Repeated overexposure to propylene
glycol can produce central nervous system depression, hemolysis and
minimal kidney damage.

Bifenthrin:
Environemntal Fate, persistence and degradation:
Bifenthrin is moderatly stable in soil under aerobic conditions, with a half life
ranging from 65 鈥? 125 days (depending upon soil type). It has a high affinity
for organic matter and is not mobile. There is a potential for bioconcentration
up the food chain.

Environmental Data:
In soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and degrades at a slow rate
whichis governed by soil charecteristics. Bifentrhin 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 littile potential for
movment 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 0.0038 to 17.8 碌g/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 water fowl and upland game
birds (LD50 values range from 1,800 mg/kg to >2,150 mg/kg)
