content has boiled off. Heating will generate toxic vapors.
Firefighters should wear full-face self-contained breathing apparatus and
impervious protective clothing. If not leaking, keep fire-exposed
containers cool with a water spray to prevent rupture due to excessive
heat. High pressure water hose may spread product from broken containers
increasing contamination or fire hazard. Contaminated building areas and
equipment must not be used until they are properly decontaminated. Where
possible, keep run off from the fire from entering surface waters or
drains. The active ingredient is expected to be highly toxic to fish by
analogy to other pyrethroid compounds.

SECTION 6 HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT
General:
This description of toxicological properties is based on experimental
results and experience with the material.
Ingestion:
The acute oral LD50 in rats is above 5,000 mg/kg to males and females.
This material is classified as "very low toxicity" by ingestion. In
humans, severe gastrointestinal disturbance is associated with ingestion
of the hydrocarbon solvent. Ingestion of excessive quantities can also
induce signs of central nervous system depression (e.g., drowsiness,
dizziness, loss of coordination, and fatigue). Small amounts of the
hydrocarbon solvent, if aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or
subsequent vomiting, may induce severe lung congestion resulting in
labored breathing, coma, and death.
Eye contact:
This material is mildly irritating in rabbit eye irritation studies. A
similar degree of irritation will probably occur after human eye contact.
Page 2
Skin contact:
This material is moderately irritating in rabbit dermal irritation
studies, and was classified as a mild skin sensitizer.
Skin exposures may cause a skin sensation called paresthesia, which is
usually described as tingling, itching, burning, prickling, glowing,
flushing, numbness or a chapped feeling. Symptoms usually occur around
the face (mouth and eyes) but may involve the arms or hands. Symptoms
may develop shortly after exposure or can be delayed up to four hours and
can persist between 2 and 30 hours following contact. There is no
evidence of any long-term or cumulative effects on the skin. The effect
may result from transferring the material to the face from contaminated
gloves and hands.
Skin absorption:
The dermal LD50 was above 2,000 mg/kg in the male and female rats.
Systemically toxic concentrations of this product will probably not be
absorbed through human skin.
Inhalation:
The 4-hour LC50 for this material in the rat is greater than 4.62 mg/l.
This material is considered moderately toxic by inhalation. At high
concentrations, vapors or aerosols of the solvent can produce respiratory
and central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness, and nausea.
other effects of overexposure:
Ingestion may produce nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea. Large
doses ingested may cause disturbance of the nervous system. Facial skin
tingling has been described after contact with the active ingredient.
First aid procedures:
Skin: Wash material off of the skin with plenty of soap and water. If
redness, itching, or a burning sensation develops, get medical attention.
Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If
redness, itching, or a burning sensation develops, have eyes examined and
treated by medical personnel.
Ingestion: If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth out and
give 200-300 ml (I cup) of water to dilute material. Immediately contact
Zenecals Emergency Information Network at 1-800-F-A-S-T-M-E-D (327-8633).
Vomiting should only be induced under the direction of a physician or a
poison control center. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean
forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and
administer more water. Immediately transport victim to an emergency
facility.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is
labored, give oxygen. Consult medical personnel.
Note to physician: Emesis may be indicated in the alert patient who has
ingested a large (intentional) quantity. Lavage is indicated for the
obtunded patient who has ingested such a large dose. Hydrocarbon
pneumonitis is a risk if this product is aspirated.
SECTION 7 SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Step to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
Make sure all personnel involved in the spill cleanup follow good
industrial hygiene practices. A small spill can be handled routinely.
Use adequate ventilation or wear an air-supplied respirator to prevent
inhalation. Wear suitable protective clothing and eye protection to
prevent skin and eye contact. Use the following procedures:
1. Do not allow material to enter streams, sewers or other waterways.
2. Spread a suitable absorbent such as clay on the spill, and shovel
into an open drum.
3. Generously cover the contaminated areas with common, household
detergent (e.g. TIDE, registered trademark Proctor & Gamble Company).
Using a stiff brush and small amounts of water, work the detergent into
the remaining spilled material forming a slurry. Brush the slurry into
cracks and crevices and allow to stand fox 2-3 minutes. Be careful to
completely avoid skin or eye contact. Do not splatter on oneself or
bystanders.
4. Spread absorbent on the slurry liquid and shovel mixture into the open
drum.
5. Repeat #3 and 4 if necessary.
6. Rinse with a small amount of water and use absorbent to collect the wash
solution. Shovel into the open drum.
7. Seal drum and dispose of contaminated material in a facility permitted
for hazardous waste. Large spills should be handled according to a spill
plan.
Disposal method:
This material is extremely toxic to fish. Do not contaminate waterways
by cleaning of equipment or by disposal of wastes. Untreated effluent
should not be discharged where it will drain into lakes, streams or
ponds.
Discarded product is not a hazardous waste under RCRA, 40 CFR 261.
Container disposal:
Remove all product residue and puncture or otherwise destroy empty
container before disposal.
SECTION 8 SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
TLV(G or suggested control value:
No ACGIH TLV or OSHA PEL is assigned to this mixture. Control of exposure
to below the PEL for the ingredients (see Section 2) may not be
sufficient. Minimize exposure in accordance with good hygiene practice.
The manufacturers of the aromatic solvent recommend an exposure limit of
50 ppm as a 8-hr TWA. Operate facilities such that employee exposure to
lambdacyhalothrin is kept below 0.04 mg/m3 as an 8-hour TWA (skin).
Ventilation:
If needed, use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations
below the TLV.
Respiratory protection:
When needed, use MSHA/NIOSH approved respirator for pesticides.
Protective clothing:
This product is FIFRA regulated. Refer to product labeling for required
end-user personal protection equipment.
Skin contact should be prevented through the use of impervious gloves,
footwear, long-sleeved clothing, and wide brimmed hat. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before rewearing. Wash separately from
other laundry.
Eye protection:
Eye contact with the material should be avoided through the use of
chemical safety glasses, goggles or a faceshield, selected in regard to
exposure potential.
Other protective equipment:
An adequate supply of clean potable water should be available to allow
thorough flushing of skin and eyes in event of contact with this
compound.
SECTION 9 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OR OTHER COMMENTS
Special precautions or other comments:
Prevent skin and eye contact. observe OSHA PEL limitations. Avoid
breathing vapors or aerosols. Workers should shower and change to fresh
clothing after each shift. A sensitized individual should not be exposed
to the product which caused the sensitization. Do not store near feed,
food, or within the reach of children. Containers should be stored in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials and sources
of heat or flame. Exercise due caution to prevent damage to or leakage
