POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: This substance may cause moderate eye irritation.
SKIN: This substance is not expected to cause skin irritation and is only slightly toxic if absorbed through the skin. See Toxicological Information, section 11.
INGESTION: This substance is slightly toxic to internal organs if swallowed. The degree of injury will depend on the amount absorbed from the gut.
INHALATION: Overexposure to the spray mist may be irritating to the respiratory tract. If inhaled, this substance is considered practically non-toxic to internal organs.

NEUROTOXICITY: Bifenthrin has not been associated with delayed peripheral neuropathy. Overexposure to pyrethroids results in a transient disruption in the depolarization of nerve membranes by interfering with the closing of the sodium channels. Signs of overexposure may be displayed by tremors, muscle fasciculations, ataxia, spasms, hyperexcitability, hyperactivity and convulsions. Localized skin contact with bifenthrin may result in temporary burning, tingling or numbness sensations.
TERATOGENICITY: Bifenthrin is not considered to be a teratogen (a substance that causes birth defects). The rat and rabbit developmental NOELs were 1 and 8 mg/kg/dy, respectively.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXIN: Bifenthrin is not considered to cause adverse reproductive effects. Results of a rat multigeneration reproduction study indicated no developmental toxicity or reproductive effects at the highest dose level of approximately 15 mg/kg/dy. The maternal toxicity NOEL was approximately 5 mg/kg/dy.
MUTAGENICITY: The results of a series of mutation testing indicate that bifenthrin has a low order of mutagenic potential.

CARCINOGENICITY : Mouse lifetime feeding study - high dose males - demonstrated an increase in urinary bladder hemangiopericytomas. There was no evidence of increased tumors in the other male or female mice dose levels. The carcinogen no observed effect level (NOEL) for male and female mice was 75 and 90 mg/kg/dy, respectively. Rat lifetime feeding study - no findings of tumors. The rat NOEL was 10 mg/kg/dy. EPA classified bifenthrin - Group C carcinogen.

Handling/Disposal
|
From MSDS
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Store in cool dry place, preferably in a locked storage area and avoid excess heat. Keep pesticide in original container.
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 0.0038ug/L to 17.8 ug/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 1800 mg/kg to >2150 mg/kg).
