Section 6 HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT
General:
Toxicity data are available on this specific product; this health hazard assessment is
based on the results of screening tests.
Ingestion:
The acute oral toxicity in rat is greater than 300 mg/kg. This material is classified as
鈥渕oderately toxic鈥? by ingestion.
Eye contact:
A 2% v/v spray strength dilution was tested using three rabbits. No corneal or iridial
effects. Slight irritation may occur following exposure to this material.
Skin Contact:
This material is mildly irritating in rabbit dermal irritation studies. Short contact
periods with human skin will probably not produce irritation. Irritation can
develop following repeated and/or prolonged contact with human skin. This
material was a skin sensitizer in animal testing. Skin sensitization and irritation
may develop after repeated and/or prolonged contact with human skin.
Exposure to Lambdacyhalothrin may cause a skin sensation called paresthesia,
which is usually described as tingling, itching, burning, prickling, glowing, flushing,
numbness or a chapped feeling. Symptoms usually occur around the mouth and eyes
but may involve the arms or hands. Symptoms may develop shortly after exposure
or can be delayed up to four hours and can persist between 2 and 30 hours following
contact. There is no evidence of any long-term or cumulative effects on the skin. The
effect may result from transferring the material to the face from contaminated gloves
and hands.
Skin absorption:
The acute dermal toxicity is >2000 mg/kg for this material. Systemically toxic
concentrations of this product will not be absorbed through human skin.
Inhalation:
The inhalation toxicity in rat is >2.20 mg/l. Particulates of this material will probably
irritate respiratory passages.
-2-
Other effects of overexposure:
Studies using laboratory animals exposed to high levels of the active ingredient
lambdacyhalothrin have shown that lambdacyhalothrin may induce neurotoxic effects
such as staggering gait, muscle tremors and convulsions.
Prolonged exposure to high atmospheric concentrations of respirable dust of amorphous
silica may cause non-progressive fibrosis of the lungs. Persons with skin, eye,
respiratory or kidney disorders may be at increased risk from exposure to a component
of this material.
First aid procedures:

or clothing
鈥? Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
鈥? Move person to fresh air.
If inhaled
鈥? If person is not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth to
mouth if possible.
鈥? Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
鈥? Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes.
If in eyes
Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue
rinsing eye.

Section 7 SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
This material is harmful to aquatic organisms. Releases to natural waters should be
reported to appropriate water pollution control authorities. Releases of untreated
effluent to the sewer should be immediately reported to the public treatment works.
Make sure all personnel involved in the spill cleanup follow good industrial hygiene
practices. A small spill can be handled routinely. Use adequate ventilation to prevent
inhalation. Wear suitable protective clothing and eye protection to prevent skin and eye
contact. Use the following procedures:
A. Raw pre-tabletted powder material during manufacturing process is released or
spilled.
B. Raw pre-tabletted powder material during transportation is released or spilled.
1. Do not allow material to enter streams, sewers or other waterways.
2. Sweep up or vacuum spilled material being careful not to create dust, and shovel
into an open drum.
3. Generously cover the contaminated areas with common, household detergent
(e.g. TIDE, registered trademark Proctor & Gamble Company). Using a stiff
-3-
brush and small amounts of water, work the detergent into the remaining material
forming a slurry. Brush the slurry into cracks and crevices and allow to stand for
2-3 minutes. Be careful to completely avoid skin or eye contact. Do not splatter
on oneself or bystanders.
4. Spread absorbent on the slurry liquid and shovel mixture into the open drum.
5. Repeat #3 and 4 if necessary.
6. Rinse with a small amount of water and use absorbent to collect the wash
solution. Shovel into the open drum.
7. Seal drum and dispose of contaminated material in a facility permitted for
hazardous waste. Large spills should be handled according to a spill plan.
Otherwise, in case of emergency call, day or night, 800-424-9300, Chemtrec.
For accidental releases or spills of Surrender brand Pestabs Insecticide end-use water
dilutions, follow procedures described above except for Step 2.

Section 8 SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
TLV庐 or suggested control value:
No ACGIH TLV or OSHA PEL is assigned to this mixture. Control of exposure to
below the PEL for the ingredients (see Section 2) may not be sufficient. Minimize
exposure in accordance with good hygiene practice. The manufacturer of the
solvent recommends an exposure limit of 50 ppm as an 8-hr TWA.
Ventilation:
Manufacturing: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne
levels below the exposure guidelines.
End Use: Generally not required when treatment dilution is used but local exhaust or
ventilation may be used if necessary.
-4-
Respiratory protection: Not normally needed for this product when tablet is diluted in
water for end-use application. When needed, use MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator
for pesticides.
Protective clothing:
This product is FIFRA regulated. Refer to product labeling for required end-user
personal protection equipment. Skin contact should be prevented through the use
of impervious gloves, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before rewearing. Wash separately from other laundry.
Eye protection:
Eye contact with the material should be avoided through the use of chemical
safety glasses, goggles or a faceshield, selected in regard to exposure potential.
Other protective equipment:
An adequate supply of clean potable water should be available to allow thorough
flushing of skin and eyes in event of contact with this compound.
Section 9 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OR OTHER COMMENTS
Special precautions or other comments:
Prevent skin and eye contact. Observe OSHA PEL limitations. Avoid breathing
particulates. A sensitized individual should not be exposed to the product
which caused the sensitization. Do not store near feed, food, or within the
reach of children. Containers should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area away from flammable materials and sources of heat or flame. Exercise
due caution to prevent damage to or leakage from the container. Workers
