3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Immediate Concerns:
Beige liquid a bland odor.
Slightly combustible. May be support combustion at elevated
temperatures.
Thermal decomposition and burning may form toxic by products.
For large exposures or fire, wear personal protective equipment.
Highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Keep out of drains and
water courses.
Moderately toxic if inhaled.
Potential Health Effects:
Effects from overexposure may result from either swallowing, inhaling
or coming into contact with the skin or eyes. Symptoms of
overexposure include bleeding from the nose, tremors and
convulsions. Contact with bifenthrin may occasionally produce skin
sensations such as rashes, numbing, burning or tingling. These skin
sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours.
Medical Conditions Aggravated: None presently known.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First Aid:
Eye:
Flush with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and
persists.
Skin:
Wash with plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching the
back of the throat with a finger or by giving syrup of ipecac. Never
induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Contact a medical doctor.
Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and
persists, contact a medical doctor.
Notes to Medical Doctor:
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. Reversible skin sensations (paresthesia) may occur and
ordinary skin salves have been found useful in reducing discomfort.
Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed by
symptomatic and supportive care.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash point:
Extinguishing Media:
Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if necessary. Contain
all runoff.
Fire Fighting Hazards:
Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full protective clothing and a
self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, chlorine, fluorine, hydrogen chloride and
hydrogen fluoride.
Fire / Explosion Hazards:
Slightly combustible. This material may support combustion at elevated
temperatures.
6. ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES
Release Notes:
Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective
equipment as prescribed in section 8, 鈥淓xposure Controls / Personal
Protection鈥?. Keep unprotected persons and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Dike to confine
spill and absorb with a non-combustible absorbent such as a clay, sand or
soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump waste into a drum and label contents for
disposal.
To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with a suitable
solution of caustic or soda ash, and an appropriate alcohol (i.e., methanol,

ethanol or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water
solution. Absorb, as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste
already collected. Repeat if necessary.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
General Procedures.
Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or store near heat,
open flame or hot surfaces. Should be store in original containers only. Keep
out of reach of children and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides,
fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONNAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Use local exhaust at all process locations where vapor or mist may be
emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
Eyes and Face:
For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or face
shield.
Respiratory:
For splash, mist or spray exposure wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted air-
purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge or canister with any R, P
or HE pre filter (approved by U.S. NIOSHA/MSHA, EU CEN or comparable
certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on
airborne concentrations.
Protective Clothing:
Depending upon concentration encountered, wear coveralls or long-sleeved
uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items 鈥? such as
shoes, belts and watchbands 鈥? that become contaminated should be
removed and destroyed. Launder all work clothing before reuse (separately
from house hold laundry).
Work hygienic practices.
Clean water should be available for washing in case of eye or skin
contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking or using tobacco. Shower
at the end of the workday.
Gloves:

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Technical Bifenthrin:
Acute oral LD50 for rat 54.5 mg/kg
Acute dermal LD50 for rabbits > 2,000 mg/Kg
Inhalation LC 50 11.58 mg/L/1 hr (rat)
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.
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
lifetime 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.
Carcinogenicity:
IARC : Not listed
NTP : Not Listed
OSHA : Not Listed
Other : Not Listed (ACGIH)
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
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 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)
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATION
Disposal Method:
Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited. If
