ingredient. on such information.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: In soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH
range and degrades at a slow rate that is governed by soil Revised 09/2005
characteristics. 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 0.0038 to 17.8
礸/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 1,800 mg/kg to >2,150 mg/kg).
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 that 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.
