3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS:
- Beige liquid with a bland odor.
- Slightly combustible. May 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.
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
EYES: 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 low oral, dermal and inhalation
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.

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 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. 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. Keep out of

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 (OV) 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 rubber, neoprene, or PVC.
Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect
regularly for leaks.
COMMENTS: Personal protective recommendations for mixing or applying this product are
prescribed on the product label. Information stated above provides useful, additional guidance for
individuals whose use or handling of this product is not guided by the product label.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE EFFECTS: Practically non-irritating (rabbit)
SKIN EFFECTS: Non-irritating (rabbit)
DERMAL LD50: >2000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ORAL LD50: 632 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: 11.58 mg/L/1 hr (rat)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral, dermal
and inhalation 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. In humans, ingestion of large
amounts of propylene glycol has resulted in symptoms of reversible central nervous system
depression including stupor, rapid 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 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.
Repeated overexposure to propylene glycol can produce central nervous system depression,

hemolysis and minimal kidney damage.
CARCINOGENICITY:

OTHER: Not Listed (ACGIH)
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: In soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and
degrades at a slow rate which is governed by soil 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 water fowl 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 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.
