SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Main hazard Toxicity class: EPA (Formulation ) IV Flammability: Flammable Eye contact: Moderate irritant Skin contact: Moderate irritant. Oral : Tetramethrin > 5000 mg/kg Permethrin 6000 mg/kg,P.B.O >7500mg/kg Inhalation: Tetramethrin >2.73 mg/L,Permethrin >685 mg/ L, P.B.O >5.9 mg/L FIRST-AID MEAUSRES: Obtain the MSDS, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. Eye: Wash immediately and continuously with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Remove contact lenses after the first 5 minutes and continue washing. Obtain prompt medical consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Skin: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Do not induce vomiting. Inhalation: Prolonged excessive exposure may cause adverse effects. May cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression. Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, call an ambulance, and then give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth use rescuer protection (pocket mask etc). Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Advice to physician: There is no specific antidote FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES: - Suitable extinguishing Media: Extinguishing media - small fires Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Extinguishing media - large fires : Alcohol-resistant foam Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: As the product contains combustible organic components, fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Flash back possible over considerable distance. Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus

ACUTE TOXICITY: ( for active only ) Permethrin : Oral Oral LD50 values of permethrin depend on such factors as: carrier, cis/trans ratio of the sample, the test species, its sex, age and degree of fasting; values reported sometimes differ markedly. Values for a cis/trans ratio of c. 40 60 are for rats 430-4000, mice 540- 2690 mg/kg; with a 20:80 ratio, the LD50 is c. 6000 mg/kg. Skin and eye Acute percutaneous LD50 for rats >2500, rabbits >2000 mg/kg. Mild eye and skin irritant (rabbits). Moderate skin sensitiser. Inhalation LC50 (3 h) for mice and rats >685 mg/m3 air; (separate study gives >13 800 mg/m3). NOEL In 2 y feeding trials, rats receiving 100 mg/kg diet showed no ill-effects. ADI (JMPR) 0.05 mg/kg b.w. (for tech., with cis/trans ratios 25 75 to 40 60) [1999] Water GV 20 µg/l (based on ADI). Other No mutagenic, Tetramethrin Oral Acute oral LD50 for rats >5000 mg/kg. Skin and eye Acute percutaneous LD50 for rabbits >2000 mg/kg. Non-irritant to skin. Inhalation LC50 (4 h) for rats >2.73 mg/l air. NOEL In 13 w feeding trials, dogs receiving 5000 mg/kg diet showed no ill-effects. In 6 mo feeding trials, no-effect level for rats was 1500 mg/kg diet. Other No evidence of oncogenicity. PBO: Oral Acute oral LD50 for rats and rabbits c. 7500 mg/kg. Skin and eye Acute percutaneous LD50 for rats >7950, rabbits 1880 mg/kg. Not irritant to eyes or skin; not a skin sensitiser. Inhalation LC50 for rats >5.9 mg/l. NOEL (2 y) for mice and rats 30 mg/kg b.w. daily; (1 y) for dogs 16 mg/kg b.w. daily. ADI (JMPR) 0.2 mg/kg b.w. [1995, 2001]. Other Not teratogenic, mutagenic or carcinogenic. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION: - Permethrin Birds Typical oral LD50 values for a cis/trans ratio of c. 40 60 are for chickens >3000, mallard ducks >9800, Japanese quail >13 500 mg/kg.

Disposal Considerations Engineering measures Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location. Occupational Exposure Limits Exposure controls/personal protection Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling compounds and before eating, smoking, using lavatory, and at the end of day.
