ingestion) may result in tremors, convulsions, incoordination, decreased locomotion and nasal discharge, including
bleeding.
Delayed, immediate and chronic effects of exposure: None presently known.
Toxicological Data:
Oral, Rat LD
50: 975.5 mg/kg
Dermal, Rat or Rabbit LD
50: >5,000 mg/kg
Inhalation, Rat 4-hr LC
50: >2.04 mg/l (No mortalities at highest dose tested)
Eye Irritation, Rabbit: Mildly irritating
Skin Irritation, Rabbit: Slightly irritating (PDHII = >0 - 2.0)
Skin Sensitization, Guinea Pig: Not considered a sensitizer
Subchronic (Target Organ) Effects: Ingestion of large amounts of propylene glycol has resulted in symptoms of
reversible central nervous system depression including stupor, rapid breathing and heartbeat, profuse sweating and
seizures.
Carcinogenicity / Chronic Health Effects: Bifenthrin has produced an increased incidence of urinary bladder tumors in
male mice at the highest dose level tested. This response, however, was considered equivocal and not evidence of a
clear compound related effect. The U.S. EPA has classified bifenthrin as a Class C carcinogen (a possible human
carcinogen). Repeated overexposure to propylene glycol can produce central nervous system depression, hemolysis and
minimal kidney damage.
Reproductive Toxicity: In studies with animals, bifenthrin did not cause reproductive toxicity.
Developmental Toxicity: Animal tests with bifenthrin have not demonstrated developmental effects.
Genotoxicity: Tests with bifenthrin have shown an absence of genotoxicity.
Assessment Carcinogenicity: None listed with ACGIH, IARC, NTP or OSHA.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Hazards:
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
Excotoxicity:
Data from EPA ECOTOX website for Bifenthrin Technical:
Bluegill 96-hour LC
50: 0.344 ug/l Bobwhite Quail Oral LD50: 4450 ppm
Rainbow Trout 96-hour LC
50: 0.15 ug/l Mallard Duck 8-day Dietary LC50: 1280 ppm
Daphnia 48-hour EC
50: 1.6 ug/l Honey Bee Oral LD50: 0.0146 ug/bee
Environmental Fate:
In the soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and degrades at a slow rate that is governed by soil characteristics.
Bifenthrin will also persist in aquatic sediments. Bifenthrin has a high Log Pow (>6.0), a high affinity for organic matter,
and is not mobile in soil. Therefore, there is little potential for movement into ground water. There is the potential for
bifenthrin to bioconcentrate (BCF = 11,750).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal Method:
Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
Container Handling and Disposal:
Nonrefillable Containers 5 Gallons or Less: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse
container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application
equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and
recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or
disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling
or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by State and local
authorities. Plastic containers are also disposable by incineration, or, if allowed by State and local authorities, by burning.
If burned stay out of smoke.
