3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
- Amber liquid with a faint, mild petroleum odor.
- Moderately combustible. May support combustion if heated above the
product's
flash point (see Section 5, "Fire Fighting Measures" below).
- 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 irritating to the skin.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Effects from overexposure result from either
swallowing, or coming into contact with the skin or eyes. Symptoms of
overexposure include increased hypersensitivity to touch and sound, tremors
and convulsions. Contact with this product has rarely produced skin sensations
such as numbing, burning and tingling. These sensations are reversible and
usually subside within 12 hours.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED: None presently known.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and
persists, obtain medical attention.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if
irritation occurs and persists.
INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Dilute by giving 1 or 2 glasses of water.
Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. See a medical doctor immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort
occurs and persists, obtain medical attention.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product has low oral, dermal and inhalation
toxicity. It is moderately irritating to the skin and minimally irritating
to the eyes. Reversible skin sensations (paresthesia) may occur and ordinary
skin salves have been found useful in reducing discomfort. Contains aromatic
hydrocarbons that may produce a severe pneumonitis if aspirated during
vomiting. Consideration should be given to gastric lavage with an
endotracheal tube in place. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of
exposure followed by symptomatic and supportive care.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT AND METHOD: 66 - 68 deg C (151 - 154 deg F) (TAG)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only
if necessary. Contain all runoff.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Moderately combustible. When heated above the
flash point, this material releases vapors which, when mixed with air, can
burn or be explosive.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe
smoke, gases or vapors generated.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Chlorine, hydrogen chloride, carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide, and aldehydes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and
personal protective equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection". 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 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 (i.e., bleach or caustic/soda ash and either ethylene
glycol or 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. Dispose of drummed waste according to the method
outlined in Section 13, "Disposal Considerations".
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use
or store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers
only. Store at temperatures above 40 deg F (5 deg C). If crystals form, warm
to room temperature 70 deg F (21 deg C) by room heating only for 24-48
hours, and shake occasionally until crystals dissolve and product appears
uniform. Do not use external source of heat for warming container.
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 / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where vapor
or mist may be emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective
goggles or a 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 prefilter (approved by U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN
or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must
be based on airborne concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations 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 - such as shoes, belts and watchbands - that become
contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work clothing
before reuse (separately from household 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:
Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as nitrile, neoprene
or Viton brand. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water
prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.

ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral, dermal and
inhalation toxicity. It is moderately irritating to the skin and minimally
irritating to the eyes. Experience to date indicates that contact with this
product has rarely produced skin sensations such as numbing, burning or
tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12
hours. Large toxic doses of the formulated product, administered to
laboratory animals, have produced central nervous system effects with
symptoms that include hypersensitivity to touch and sound, tremors, and
clonic convulsions. Overexposure to animals via inhalation has also produced
symptoms such as squinting eyes, irregular and rattling breathing, and
ataxia. Inhalation of aromatic hydrocarbon vapors may cause dizziness,
disturbances in vision, drowsiness, respiratory irritation, and eye, skin
and mucous membrane irritation. Vomiting after ingestion of this product may
cause aspiration of aromatic hydrocarbons into the lungs which may result in
fatal pulmonary edema.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the formulation. In
studies with laboratory animals, permethrin did not cause reproductive
toxicity or teratogenicity. Analysis of chronic feeding studies in both mice
and rats with permethrin resulted in the conclusion that permethrin's
potential for induction of oncogenicity in experimental animals is low and
that the likelihood of oncogenic effects in humans is nonexistent or
extremely low. Long-term feeding studies in animals resulted in increased
liver and kidney weights, induction of the liver microsomal drug
metabolizing enzyme system and histopathological changes in the lungs and
liver. An overall absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in
mutagenicity testing with permethrin. Chronic exposure to aromatic
hydrocarbons may cause headaches, dizziness, loss of sensations or feelings
(such as numbness), and liver and kidney damage.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active
ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: In soil, permethrin is stable over a wide range of pH
values. When applied at agricultural use rates, permethrin has a moderate
rate of degradation in soil. At termiticidal use rates, permethrin degrades
at a slower rate which is governed by soil characteristics. Due to its high
affinity for organic matter (Koc = 86,000), there is little potential for
movement in soil or entry into ground water. Permethrin has a Log Pow of
6.1, but a low potential to bioconcentrate (BCF = 500) due to the ease with
which it is metabolized.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Permethrin is highly toxic to fish (LC50 = 0.5
ug/L to 315 ug/L) and aquatic arthropods (LC50 = 0.02 ug/L to 7.6 ug/L).
Marine species are often more sensitive than the freshwater species.
Bacteria, algae, mollusks and amphibians are much more tolerant of
permethrin than the fish and arthropods. Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the aquatic environment. Permethrin is slightly toxic to
birds and oral LD50 values are greater than 3600 mg/kg. Longer dietary
studies showed that concentrations of up to 500 ppm in the diet had no
effect on bird reproduction.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging
is prohibited. If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to
label instructions, an acceptable method of disposal is to incinerate in
accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules,
standards and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal
may vary by location and regulatory requirements may change, the appropriate
agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers which held this material should
be cleaned, prior to disposal, by triple rinsing. Containers which held this
material may be cleaned by being triple-rinsed, and recycled, with the
rinsate being incinerated. Do not cut or weld metal containers. Vapors that
form may create an explosion hazard.
