combustion
products:
Precautions for
fire fighters: Fire fighters should wear full protective gear, including self-
contained breathing apparatus (AS/NZS 1716), as toxic and irritating
decomposition products may be produced in a fire. If it can be
done safely, remove intact containers from the fire. Otherwise, use
water spray to cool them. Bund area to prevent contamination of
water sources. Dispose of fire control extinguishing agent and
spillage later in a safe manner. Do not release contaminated water
into the environment.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material or contaminated surfaces. When dealing with the
spillage do not eat, drink or smoke and wear personal protective clothing and
equipment as detailed in `Personal Protection' section. Keep people and animals
away. Prevent spillage from entering drains, sewers or watercourses. Contain/absorb
spillage in sand/earth or other suitable inert material. Transfer collected material
to sealable containers. Seal and label containers ready for disposal. Deal with all
spillages immediately. If contamination of drains, streams, watercourses, etc. is
unavoidable, warn the local water authority.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Storage: Store in original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep

volatility. However, inhalation of spray may cause transient irritation
of mucous membranes (nose, throat and respiratory tract) for up to
24 hours.
Skin contact: Irritating. Contact with the skin, especially the face, may result in
initial stinging or burning sensations followed by numbing which may
persist for a few hours. (Although skin irritation tests in animals show
deltamethrin to be non-irritating, experience has shown it to cause
these symptoms on human skin.)
Eye contact: Irritant.
Ingestion: Product is harmful if swallowed.
Other: None
