POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
SECTION 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
This product is a permethrin insecticide and contains petroleum distallates. This product has been shown to be slightly irritating to the skin and eyes ofanimals. This product did not cause skin sensitization in animals.
This product contains permethrin, a synthetic Type I pyrethroid ester. Occupational exposure to permethrin has induced temporary skin and facialsensations (feelings of numbness and tingling). Workers exposed to permethrin have also reported irritative symptoms, such as itching and burning ofthe skin, itching and irritation of the eyes, and irritation of the upper respiratory tract as well as increased nasal secretions. Anaphylactic reactionsincluding bronchospasm and shock may occur in very sensitive individuals. Ingestion of large amounts may cause central nervous system effectsresulting in seizures, coma, and respiratory arrest.
Ingestion of pyrethroid esters has caused stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, numbness and tingling, anorexia, fatigue, tremors,and intermittent convulsions.
Petroleum distillates may be skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritants. Repeated skin contact may cause oil acne or dermatitis. Exposure to largeamounts of petroleum distillates by inhalation or ingestion may cause CNS depression or excitement, headaches, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting,diarrhea, laxative effects, lung damage, or an irregular heartbeat. Aspiration of liquid into the lungs may produce chemical pneumonitis.
LISTED CARCINOGENS
Permethrin technical is classified by IARC as a Group 3 carcinogen (unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans).

See Sections 9 and 10 for additional physical, chemical, and hazard information.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Keep containers adequately sealed during material transfer, transport, or when not in use. Wash face, hands, and any exposed skin after handling. Do
not eat, drink, or smoke when using this substance or mixture.
Appropriate handling of this material is dependent on many factors, including physical form, duration and frequency of process or task, and effectivenessof engineering controls. Site-specific risk assessments should be conducted to determine the feasibility and the appropriateness of all exposure controlmeasures. See Section 8 (Exposure Controls) for additional guidance.
STORAGE:
Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
See Section 8 for exposure controls and additional safe handling information.
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
S-P HEALTH HAZARD CATEGORY (HHC):
The Schering-Plough Health Hazard Category (HHC) for this material is HHC3. Materials in this category are considered high health hazards. Health
Hazard Categories are intended to be a component of workplace risk assessment. Consult your site safety and industrial hygiene staff for guidance on
handling and control strategies.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
The health hazard risks of handling this material are dependent on many factors, including physical form, duration and frequency of process or task, and
effectiveness of engineering controls. Site-specific risk assessments should be conducted to determine the feasibility and the appropriateness of all
exposure control measures. Exposure controls for normal operating or routine procedures follow a tiered strategy. Engineering controls are the
preferred means of long-term or permanent exposure control. If engineering controls are not feasible, appropriate use of personal protective equipment
(PPE) may be considered as alternative control measures. Exposure controls for non-routine operations must be evaluated and addressed as part of
the site-specific risk assessment.
MSDS NAME: Ectiban Pour-On Insecticide
MSDS NUMBER: SP000936
RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):
Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) may be required for certain laboratory and large-scalemanufacturing tasks if potential airborne breathing zone concentrations of substances exceed the relevantexposure limit(s). Workplace risk assessment should be completed before specifying and implementingRPE usage. Potential exposure points and pathways, task duration and frequency, potential employeecontact with the substance, and the ability of the substance to be rendered airborne during specific tasksshould be evaluated. Initial and ongoing strategies of quantitative exposure measurement should beobtained as required by the workplace risk assessment. All RPE must conform to local and regionalspecifications for efficacy and performance. Consult your site or corporate health and safety professionalfor additional guidance.
Gloves that provide an appropriate barrier to the skin are recommended if there is potential for contact withthis material. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.
Safety glasses with side shields. Use of goggles or full face protection may be required based on hazard,potential for contact, or level of exposure. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.
In small-scale or laboratory operations, lab coats or equivalent protection is required. Disposable Tyvek orother dust impermeable suit should be considered based on procedure or level of exposure. Use ofadditional PPE such as shoe coverings, gauntlets, hood, or head covering may be necessary. Consultyour site safety staff for guidance.
In large-scale or manufacturing operations, disposable Tyvek or other dust impermeable suit isrecommended and based on level of exposure. Use of additional PPE such as shoe coverings, gauntlets,hood, or head covering may be necessary. Consult your site safety staff for guidance.

EXPOSURE ROUTE
STUDY DESCRIPTION
INHALATION:
Permethrin: LC50 (4hr): 2.3 mg/L (rat)
REPEAT DOSE TOXICITY DATA
SUBCHRONIC / CHRONIC TOXICITY:
In sub-chronic studies ranging from 14 days to 26 weeks, rats and mice were treated with oral dosages of permethrin up to 10,000 mg/kg. Dose-
dependent effects such as an increase in liver/body weight ratio, hypertrophy of the liver, and clinical signs of poisoning such as tremor were observed.
The no-observed effects-level (NOEL) in rats ranged from 20 mg/kg diet (in studies lasting 90 days or 6 months) to 1500 mg/kg diet (in a 6-month study).
Chronic studies ranging from 1 to 2 years were conducted in rats, mice and dogs. Dosages varied with species ranging from 1 mg/kg/day to 375
mg/kg/day of permethrin. Target organs of toxicity were the liver (increased liver weight and hepatocellular swelling), lung (increased weight), and testes
(decreased weight). Depression and increased mortality were observed in mice at 75 mg/kg/day and above. Additional signs and symptoms of toxicity
in the rat include hyperexcitation, sparring behavior, aggressiveness, enhanced startle response, whole body tremor and prostration.
REPRODUCTIVE / DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY:
In a three-generation reproductive study with permethrin, rats were administered doses ranging from 25 to 125 mg/kg/day. Systemic effects observed in
the offspring were seen in the liver (hepatocyte hypertrophy and eosinophilia) and eye (infantile glaucoma). Body tremors were observed in the parents
and offspring at 125 mg/kg/day. No teratogenic effects, maternal toxicity or fetotoxicity were observed in rats and rabbits administered 200 and 400
mg/kg/day, respectively, of permethrin.
MUTAGENICITY / GENOTOXICITY:
Permethrin was negative in a bacterial mutagenicity study (Ames) and in a mammalian mutagenicity study (mouse lymphoma).
CARCINOGENICITY:
This material or product has not been evaluated for carcinogenicity.
Six carcinogenicity assays, three each in mice and rats, were conducted with permethrin. No tumorigenicity was seen in rat studies. However, speciesspecific increases in pulmonary adenomas, a common benign tumor of mice with a high spontaneous background incidence, were seen in the threemouse studies. In one of these studies, there was an increased incidence of pulmonary alveolar cell carcinomas and benign liver adenomas whenpermethrin was administered in the diet at 5,000 ppm.
