<br />ORAL LDsa: 63 2 mgAg (rat)
<br />IN LCso: 11.58 mglU1 hr (rat)
<br />ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This
<br />Product has moderate inhalation, and low oral and der.
<br />Mal toxicity. It is practically tort- irritating to the eyes
<br />and nor-instating to the skin. Large doses of bifen-
<br />thrin ingested by laboratory -mats produced signs
<br />of toxicity Including convulsions, "Mrs and bloody
<br />nasal discharge. Biteriftin does not cause acute de-
<br />layed neurotoxicky. Experience to date indicates that
<br />contact with bifentitrrn may Occasionally Produce skin
<br />sensations such as rashes, numbing, burning or tin-
<br />Ong. These sensations are reversible and usually
<br />subside within 12 hours. in humans, ingestion of large
<br />amounts of PxOPYlene glycol has resutted in symptoms
<br />Of reversible central nervous system depression in-
<br />cluding Stup -, rapid breathing and heartbeat, profuse
<br />sweating and seizures.
<br />CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE; No
<br />data available for the formuiation. in Studies with lab-
<br />oratory animals, bifenttuin did not cause reproductive
<br />toxicity Or teratogenidty. Tremors were associated with
<br />repeated exposure of laboratory animals to bifenewin.
<br />In lifetime feeding studies Conducted with rodents, a
<br />Sight increase in the incidence of urinary bladder tu-
<br />mors at the highest dose in male mice was considered
<br />I
<br />o be an equivocal response, not evidence of a clear
<br />COMPOUnd- related effect The overall absence of geno-
<br />toxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicky tests
<br />with bifenttuin. Repeated overexposure to propylene
<br />*CO1 can produce central nervous system depression,
<br />henlolysis and Mi imal kidney damage.

<br />IARC: Not fated

<br />12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
<br />Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below
<br />are for the active ingredient
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: In soil, bifenthrin is stable
<br />over a wide PH range and degrades at a slow rate
<br />which is governed by soit characteristics. Bifenthrin will
<br />also persist in aquatic sediments. Bifenthrin has a high
<br />Log Pow ( >6.0), a high affinity for organic matter, and
<br />is not mobile in soil. Therefore, there is tittle potential
<br />for movement into ground water. There is the potential
<br />for bifenthrin to bioeoncentrate (BCF = 11,750).
<br />ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Bifenthrin is
<br />highly toxic to fish and aquatic arthropods and LC50
<br />values range from 0.0038 to 17.8 Pcg&. In general,
<br />the aquatic arthropods are the most sensitive species.
<br />Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the
<br />aquatic environment. Bifenthrin had no effect on mol-
<br />lusks at its Emit Of water solubility. Bitenthrin is Dray
<br />slightly toxic to both water fowl and upland game
<br />birds (1-050 values range from 1,800 mg/kg to >2,150
