EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed.
Harmful if absorbed through skin.
Moderately irritating to skin and eyes.
May be irritating to respiratory system.
May cause sensitization by skin contact.
May cause effects to:- central nervous system POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

The toxicological properties of the mixture(s) have not been fully characterized in humans or animals. However, there are data to describe the
toxicological properties of the individual ingredients. The following summary is based upon available information about the individual ingredients of the
mixture(s), or of the expected properties of the mixture(s).

This product contains permethrin, a synthetic Type I pyrethroid ester. Occupational exposure to permethrin has induced temporary skin and facial
sensations (feelings of numbness and tingling). Workers exposed to permethrin have also reported irritative symptoms, such as itching and burning of
the skin, itching and irritation of the eyes, and irritation of the upper respiratory tract as well as increased nasal secretions. Anaphylactic reactions
including bronchospasm and shock may occur in very sensitive individuals. Ingestion of large amounts may cause central nervous system effects
resulting in seizures, coma, and respiratory arrest.
Ingestion of pyrethroid esters has caused stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, numbness and tingling, anorexia, fatigue, tremors, and intermittent convulsions. Propylene glycol methyl ether (PGME) is a major constinuent in Dowanol PM. PGME is transiently painful to the eyes and can be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts after repeated high-dose exposure. The vapors of PGME are essentially intolerable to humans at acutely toxic concentrations. Concentrations that might cause effects from repeated exposures are very disagreeable (irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes and nauseating to some persons).
LISTED CARCINOGENS
Permethrin technical is classified by IARC as a Group 3 carcinogen (unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans). Fields in the above table that do not contain data indicate that the materials have not been classified as human or animal carcinogens.

The following guidance applies to the handling of the active ingredient(s) in this formulation.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
The health hazard risks of handling this material are dependent on many factors, including physical form, duration and frequency of process or task, and
effectiveness of engineering controls. Site-specific risk assessments should be conducted to determine the feasibility and the appropriateness of all
exposure control measures. Exposure controls for normal operating or routine procedures follow a tiered strategy. Engineering controls are the
preferred means of long-term or permanent exposure control. If engineering controls are not feasible, appropriate use of personal protective equipment
(PPE) may be considered as alternative control measures. However, PPE should not be used as a method of permanent or long-term exposure control.
Exposure controls for non-routine operations must be evaluated and addressed as part of the site-specific risk assessment.

RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):

Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) may be required for certain laboratory and large-scale manufacturing tasks if potential airborne breathing zone concentrations of substances exceed the relevant exposure limit(s). Workplace risk assessment should be completed before specifying and implementing RPE usage. Potential exposure points and pathways, task duration and frequency, potential employee contact with the substance, and the ability of the substance to be rendered airborne during specific tasks should be evaluated. Initial and ongoing strategies of quantitative exposure measurement should be obtained as required by the workplace risk assessment. All RPE must conform to local and regional specifications for efficacy and performance. Consult your site or corporate health and safety professional for additional guidance.
Gloves that provide an appropriate barrier to the skin are recommended if there is potential for contact with this material. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.
Safety glasses with side shields. Use of goggles or full face protection may be required based on hazard, potential for contact, or level of exposure. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.
In small-scale or laboratory operations, lab coats or equivalent protection is required. Disposable Tyvek or other dust impermeable suit should be considered based on procedure or level of exposure.

REPEAT DOSE TOXICITY DATA

SUBCHRONIC / CHRONIC TOXICITY:
In sub-chronic studies ranging from 14 days to 26 weeks, rats and mice were treated with oral dosages of permethrin up to 10,000 mg/kg. Dose-
dependent effects such as an increase in liver/body weight ratio, hypertrophy of the liver, and clinical signs of poisoning such as tremor were observed.
The no-observed effects-level (NOEL) in rats ranged from 20 mg/kg diet (in studies lasting 90 days or 6 months) to 1500 mg/kg diet (in a 6-month study).
Chronic studies ranging from 1 to 2 years were conducted in rats, mice and dogs. Dosages varied with species ranging from 1 mg/kg/day to 375
mg/kg/day of permethrin. Target organs of toxicity were the liver (increased liver weight and hepatocellular swelling), lung (increased weight), and testes
(decreased weight). Depression and increased mortality were observed in mice at 75 mg/kg/day and above. Additional signs and symptoms of toxicity
in the rat include hyperexcitation, sparring behavior, aggressiveness, enhanced startle response, whole body tremor and prostration.
Rats exposed to propylene glycol methyl ether at concentrations as high as 3000 ppm, 6hr/day, for 9 days exhibited reversible central nervous system
depression. No other effects were observed. No evidence of adverse effects were observed in rats and monkeys exposed to 800 ppm for 132 daily
exposures over a period of 186 days.

REPRODUCTIVE / DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY:
In a three-generation reproductive study with permethrin, rats were administered doses ranging from 25 to 125 mg/kg/day. Systemic effects observed in
the offspring were seen in the liver (hepatocyte hypertrophy and eosinophilia) and eye (infantile glaucoma). Body tremors were observed in the parents
and offspring at 125 mg/kg/day. No teratogenic effects, maternal toxicity or fetotoxicity were observed in rats and rabbits administered 200 and 400
mg/kg/day, respectively, of permethrin.
Pregnant rats and rabbits exposed by inhalation to propylene glycol methyl etherl at concentrations up to 3000 ppm did not exhibit teratogenic or
embryotoxic effects. Slight fetotoxicity in the form of delayed sternebral ossification was observed in the offspring of rats exposed at 3000 ppm; a dose
that was also maternally toxic. In a continuous breeding study, no change in reproductive parameters was observed in mice treated orally with 3333
mg/kg.

MUTAGENICITY / GENOTOXICITY:
Permethrin was negative in a bacterial mutagenicity study (Ames) and in a mammalian mutagenicity study (mouse lymphoma).
Propylene glycol methyl ether was negative in a variety of assays.

CARCINOGENICITY:
This material has not been evaluated for carcinogenicity.
Six carcinogenicity assays, three each in mice and rats, were conducted with permethrin. No tumorigenicity was seen in rat studies. However, species specific increases in pulmonary adenomas, a common benign tumor of mice with a high spontaneous background incidence, were seen in the three mouse studies. In one of these studies, there was an increased incidence of pulmonary alveolar cell carcinomas and benign liver adenomas when permethrin was administered in the diet at 5,000 ppm.
