SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE TOXICITY:
DERMAL LD
50
: >2000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ORAL LD
50
: >5000 mg/kg (rat)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral and dermal toxicity. It is non-irritating to the eyes
and skin. Excessive exposure to dust may irritate the respiratory system, skin and eyes. This product caused diarrhea in
laboratory animals. Bifenthrin does not cause acute delayed neurotoxicity. Experience to date indicates that contact with
bifenthrin may occasionally produce skin sensations such as rashes, numbing, burning or tingling. These sensations are
reversible and usually subside within 12 hours.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the formulation. In studies with laboratory animals,
bifenthrin did not cause reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity. Tremors were associated with repeated exposure of
laboratory animals to bifenthrin. In lifetime feeding studies conducted with rodents, a slight increase in the incidence of
urinary bladder tumors at the highest dose in male mice was considered to be an equivocal response, not evidence of a
clear compound-related effect. The overall
absence of genotoxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicity tests with
bifenthrin.
CARCINOGENICITY:
IARC: Not listed
NTP: Not listed
OSHA: Not listed
OTHER: Not Listed (ACGIH).
SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: In soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and degrades at a slow rate which 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).
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Bifenthrin is highly toxic to fish and aquatic arthropods and LC50 values range
from 0.0038 to 17.8 µg/L. In general, the aquatic arthropods are the most sensitive species. Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the aquatic environment. Bifenthrin had no effect on mollusks at its limit of water solubility. Bifenthrin is
only slightly toxic to both waterfowl and upland game birds (LD50 values range from 1,800 mg/kg to >2,150 mg/kg).
SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
WASTE: Dispose of in accordance with applicable Federal, state and local laws and regulations.
CONTAINER: Completely empty bag into application equipment. Do not reuse container. Dispose of empty bag in a
sanitary landfill.
