4.First-aid measures

4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures

General advice

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled

Fresh air, rest.

In case of skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

In case of eye contact

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

If swallowed

Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .

4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Skin decontamination. Wash skin promptly with soap and water ... . If irritant or paresthetic effects occur, obtain treatment by a physician. Because volatilization of pyrethroids apparently accounts for paresthesia affecting the face, strenuous measures should be taken (ventilation, protective face mask and hood) to avoid vapor contact with the face and eyes. Vitamin E oil preparations (dL-alpha tocopheryl acetate) are uniquely effective in preventing and stopping the paresthetic reaction. They are safe for application to the skin under field conditions. Corn oil is somewhat effective, but possible side effects with continuing use make it less suitable. Vaseline is less effective than corn oil. Zinc oxide actually worsens the reaction. /Pyrethroids/

5.Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)

5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot. For UN3508, be aware of possible short circuiting as this product is transported in a charged state. (ERG, 2016)

5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

6.Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Carcinogenicity

The /Environmental Protection/ Agency classified permethrin as "Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans" by the oral route. This classification was based on two reproducible benign tumor types (lung and liver) in the mouse, equivocal evidence of carcinogenicity in Long-Evans rats, and supporting structural activity relationships (SAR) information. For the purpose of risk characterization, a low dose extrapolation model (Q1*) was used. The Q1* is 9.6 x 10-3 (mg/kg/day)-1 and was derived from the female mouse lung (adenoma and/or carcinoma) tumors

12.Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow); Conditions: flow through bioassay with measured concentrations, 25.4°C, dissolved oxygen 7.5 mg/L, hardness 45.7 mg/L calcium carbonate, alkalinity 41.6 mg/L calcium carbonate, and pH 7.1; Concentration: 16.0 mg/L for 96 hr (confidence limit 8.71- 29.6 mg/L)
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: LC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea); Conditions: freshwater, static, 22°C, pH 8.2-8.3, hardness 162-178 mg/L CaCO3, alkalinity 107-114 mg/L CaCO3, dissolved oxygen 7.8-8.1 mg/L; Concentration: 12.4 ug/L for 24 hr /formulation
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: The half-life of permethrin in aerobically incubated soil is less than 4 weeks, and the degradation of the trans isomer is more rapid than the cis isomer(1). Permethrin was stable in sterile Hagerstown silty clay loam indicating that any degradation probably was microbial(2); as expected ester hydrolysis predominated in non-sterile soil(2). In two Japanese soils, both the 1R, trans- and 1R, cis-isomers were rapidly degraded under dry conditions with half-lives of less than 2 days(2). The half-life in a sediment-seawater solution was less than 2.5 days; under sterile conditions there was no significant change in permethrin concentration(3). Aerobic incubation of 14C-labeled cis- and trans-isomers and stereo-isomers of permethrin in turfgrass soil and coverground soil from California resulted in losses of 68.6-78.9% and 86.3-90.4% after 14 days for the cis- and trans-isomers respectively, and 93.0-99.2% and 95.4-98.5% after 56 days for the cis- and trans-isomers respectively(4); degradation products included cyclopropanoic acid, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol(4); degradation losses in sediment were greater under aerobic conditions compared to anaerobic conditions after 14 days (trans-isomers had 76.2-81.2% loss under aerobic conditions and 65.7-74.1% loss under anaerobic conditions)(4). Stereo-isomers of cis-permethrin had half-lives of 139-141 days when incubated in sterilized soil or sediments and half-lives of 99-126 days in non-sterile aerobic or anaerobic soil or sediments(5).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

The BCF values for permethrin in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon vagiegatus) were approximately 560 and 480, respectively(1,2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). A BCF of 1,900 was also reported for oysters(2). Insect BCF values after 6 hr of exposure to sublethal permethrin concentrations were 18, 30, 7, 4, and 24 for black fly, caddisfly, damsefly, water scavenger, and mayfly, respectively(4).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Koc values for permethrin range from 10,471 to 86,000 that were measured in a variety of different soils including silt loam, sandy loam, sediments and sand(1); the selected Koc value (for use in modeling) is 39,300(1). Koc values for silt loam (Ohio), sandy loam (Wisconsin), sediment (Georgia), and sand (Florida) were 19,300 (Kd = 236; organic matter, 0.71%), 20,900 (Kd = 217; organic matter, 0.60%), 44,700 (Kd = 401; organic matter, 0.91%), and 60,900 (Kd = 140; organic matter, 0.13%), respectively(1). The Kd for permethrin was measured to be 400 on a red earth soil from Australia with an organic matter content of 1.09%(2) which corresponds to a Koc of about 63,100(SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggest that permethrin is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). The distribution coefficients (Kd) for permethrin on clean (i.e., without organic matter) montomorillonite, aluminum oxide and kaolinite clay mineral surfaces were 61, 41, and 5 ml/g, respectively(4).
