SECTION 3: HAZARDS
IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY
OVERVIEW: Potential Health
Effects
POTENTIAL HEALTH
EFFECTS: If sufficient quantity
of the product is ingested, it may be fatal. May cause irritation to
the eyes, nose, throat and skin.
CARCINOGENICITY: Permethrin: A statistically significant increase of
lung and liver tumors was observed in female mice
receiving diets containing 375 and 750 mg/Kg/day over
85 weeks. Piperonyl Butoxide:
Marginally higher incidences of
benign liver tumors in mice were observed following
lifetime high dose exposures. The significance of this observation is
questionable and under review. The doses at which tumors
were observed greatly exceeded human dietary intake. At
anticipated dietary exposure levels, it is highly
unlikely that piperonyl butoxide
would result in carcinogenic effects. IARC
has also concluded that there is no evidence
for the carcinogenicity of white oils when administered by routes other than
by interperitoneal
injection. The solvent is not carcinogenic according to the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard.
SECTION 4: FIRST
AID MEASURES
EYES: Can cause eye irritation and possible
corneal injury. Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water and get
medical attention.
SKIN: Immediately wash with soap and water. If skin
irritation occurs, consult a physician.
INGESTION: May cause gastro-intestinal irritation or
nausea. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
INHALATION: Move person to an area of fresh air and give
artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing difficulty
persists, get immediate medical attention.

SPECIAL FIRE
FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Evacuate nonessential personnel from the
area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of
combustion. Prevent use of contaminated buildings,
area
and equipment until decontaminated. Use as
little water as possible to prevent spread of contaminated
runoff.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN
IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear chemical safety glasses with side
shields or chemical goggles, rubber gloves, rubber
boots, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, to prevent contact with spilled
material. For small spills, cover the spill with an
absorbent material such as pet litter. Sweep up and place in an approved
chemical container. Wash the spill area with water
containing a strong detergent, absorb with pet litter or other absorbent
material, sweep up and place in a chemical
container. Seal the container and handle in an approved manner. Flush the
area with water to remove any residue. Do not
allow wash water to contaminate water supplies.
SECTION 7:
HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND
STORAGE: Store the material in
a well-ventilated, secure area, out of the reach of children and
domestic animals. Do not store food, beverages or
tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco
usage, and cosmetic application in areas where
there is a potential for exposure to the material. Always wash thoroughly
after handling.
SECTION 8:
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
The employee must wear protective clothing
and related safety equipment. Good ventilation should be sufficient for most
conditions. Positive pressure self contained breathing
apparatus should be used for confined spaces and high exposure
operations. The employee should shower at the end of
the workday. The employee must wear clean clothes every day or
after a spill if the clothes become contaminated.
Always wash hands and face with soap and water prior to eating,
drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. It is
best not to wear contact lenses but use safety prescription glasses.

organisms. Do not apply directly to water, or
to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark other than
