SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

General When possible, have the product container or label with you when calling a
poison control center or doctor or going for treatment.

Eye Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes.
Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing
eye. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Skin Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off immediately
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician or poison control
center immediately.

Ingestion Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse out mouth and give
water in small sips to drink. DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
a physician or poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Do not leave victim unattended.

Inhalation Move to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give
artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a physician or
poison control center immediately.

Notes to Physician
Treatment Treat symptomatically. There is no specific antidote.

SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point > 93.3 °C / 199.9 °F

Suitable Extinguishing Water spray, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical
Media

Fire Fighting Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces. Evacuate personnel
Instructions to safe areas. Keep out of smoke. Fight fire from upwind position. Cool closed
containers/ tanks exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow run-off from fire
fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Firefighters should wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus

and full protective clothing.

Skin Irritation rabbit: Slight irritation.

Eye Irritation rabbit: Mild eye irritation.

Sensitization guinea pig: Non-sensitizing.

Chronic Toxicity Imidacloprid caused thyroid and/or liver effects in chronic dietary studies in rats
and dogs.

Assessment Carcinogenicity
Imidacloprid was not carcinogenic in studies in rats and mice.

ACGIH
None.
NTP
None.
IARC
None.
OSHA
None.

Reproductive toxicity REPRODUCTION: Imidacloprid was not a reproductive toxicant in a multi-

generation study in rats.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Imidacloprid is not considered a primary

developmental toxicant in rats and rabbits. Developmental effects were
observed at doses that caused maternal toxicity.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Beta-cyfluthrin was not a primary developmental

toxicant in rats. Developmental effects were observed but were considered
secondary to maternal toxicity.

Neurotoxicity Imidacloprid showed slight behavioral and activity changes only at the highest
dose tested in neurotoxicity studies in rats. There were no correlating
morphological changes observed in the neural tissues.

Beta-cyfluthrin produced slight transient neurobehavioral effects in acute,

subchronic and developmental neurotoxicity screening studies in rats. These
effects occurred at the highest dose tested and without correlating morphological

changes in the neural tissues.

Mutagenicity Imidacloprid was not mutagenic or genotoxic based on the overall weight of
evidence in a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests.

Beta-cyfluthrin was not mutagenic or genotoxic in a battery of in vitro and in vivo

tests.

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
