EYE EFFECTS: Moderately irritating
SKIN EFFECTS: Moderately irritating

ORAL LD50: 1,030 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: > 25.7 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral, dermal
and inhalation toxicity. It is moderately irritating to the skin and eyes. Experience to date indicates that
contact with this product has rarely produced skin sensations such as numbing, burning or tingling. These
sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours. Large, toxic doses administered to laboratory
animals have produced symptoms such as diarrhea, salivation, tremors and intermittent convulsions.
Overexposure to animals, via inhalation, has also produced hyperactivity and hypersensitivity. Inhalation of
aromatic hydrocarbon vapors may cause dizziness, disturbances in vision, drowsiness, respiratory irritation,
and eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation. Vomiting after ingestion of this product may cause
aspiration of aromatic hydrocarbons into the lungs, which may result in fatal pulmonary edema.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, permethrin did not cause reproductive toxicity or
teratogenicity. Analysis of chronic feeding studies in both mice and rats with permethrin resulted in the
conclusion that permethrin's potential for induction of oncogenicity in experimental animals is low and that
the likelihood of oncogenic effects in humans is nonexistent or extremely low. Long-term feeding studies in
animals resulted in increased liver and kidney weights, induction of the liver microsomal drug metabolizing
enzyme system and histopathological changes in the lungs and liver. An overall absence of genotoxicity has
been demonstrated in mutagenicity testing with permethrin. Chronic exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons
may cause headaches, dizziness, loss of sensations or feelings (such as numbness), and liver and kidney
damage. Inhalation of xylene vapors at high doses has also resulted in an increased incidence of
malformations and decreases in fetal weight in laboratory animals. Damage from xylene may be potentiated
by alcohol. Under the conditions of 2-year inhalation studies, conducted by the National Toxicology
Program (NTP), there was clear evidence of carcinogenic activity of ethylbenzene in male rats based on
increased incidences of renal tubule neoplasms. The incidences of testicular adenoma were also increased.
There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in female rats based on increased incidences of renal
tubule adenomas. There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in male mice based on increased
incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar neoplasm. There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in female
mice based on increased incidences of hepatocellular neoplasms. Studies conducted by the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) showed that there is inadequate evidence in humans for the
carcinogenicity of ethylbenzene and that there is sufficient evidence in experimental animals; therefore, the
overall evaluation shows that ethylbenzene is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).

Chemical Name
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Permethrin is stable at a wide range of pH values. Permethrin
has a moderate rate of degradation in soil and the half-life is related to the soil type, microbial population, concentration in the soil and the aerobic condition of the soil. Because of its high affinity for organic matter (Koc = 86,000), there is little potential for movement in soil or entry into ground water. Permethrin has a Log Pow of 6.1, but because of the ease with which biological systems degrade the molecule, the potential for bioconcentration and accumulation in the environment is low (BCF = 500).
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Permethrin is highly toxic to fish (LC50 =
0.5 µg/L to 315 µg/L) and aquatic arthropods (LC50 = 0.02 µg/L to 7.6 µg/L). Marine species are often more sensitive than the freshwater species. Bacteria, algae, mollusks and amphibians are much more tolerant of permethrin than the fish and arthropods. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic environment. Permethrin is slightly toxic to birds and oral LD50 values are greater than 3600 mg/kg. Longer dietary studies showed that concentrations of up to 500 ppm in the diet had no effect on bird reproduction. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited.
If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards
and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory
requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Non-returnable containers that held this material should be cleaned,
prior to disposal, by triple rinsing. Containers which held this material may be cleaned by being triple-
rinsed, and recycled, with the rinsate being incinerated. Do not cut or weld metal containers. Vapors that
form may create an explosion hazard.
