Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
MAIN HAZARD: This product is not hazardous when used as directed, due to the extremely low concentration of deltamethrin present in the formulation. However, normal safety precautions for handling this chemical must be observed and the label directions adhered to. In ‘The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazards and Guidelines to Classification 2009’, this concentration of deltamethrin in a formulation is classified as “unlikely to present acute hazard in normal use”.
Environmental hazards
Deltamethrin, the active ingredient, is very toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Pyrethroids are primarily absorbed through the gut (ingestion) and pulmonary membrane (inhalation). Dermal absorption is low. Eye contact: The product is not an eye irritant. Skin contact: The product may result in sensitisation and allergic reactions through skin exposure, in predisposed individuals. Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Inhalation: The product is not considered to be an inhalation hazard due to the formulation type. Few chronic health risks from the chemical occur in humans, but agricultural labourers exposed to deltamethrin over long periods of time (7-8 years) have been found to develop various forms of skin irritation (EXTOXNET).
