Section 4: First Aid Measures

First Aid for Eye: Use fingers to ensure that eyelids are separated and that the eye is
being irrigated. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.

 Call a physician.

First Aid for Ingestion: Contact a physician or Poison Control Center. If syrup of ipecac is
available, administer 1 tablespoonful (15 mL) of syrup of ipecac
followed by 1 to 2 glasses of water. If vomiting does not occur
within 20 mintues, repeat the dose once. If ingested, do not induce
vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.

Note to Physician: Published data indicate vitamin E acetate can prevent and/or mitigate
symptoms of parasthesia caused by synthetic pyrethroids. In case of
human or animal poisoning, please contact the poison control center
at (800) 414-0244. Please also notify Bayer at (877) 258-2280.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: > 200 °F (> 93 °C)

Flammable Limits:
Upper Explosion Limit Not Established
(UEL %):
Lower Explosion Limit Not Established
(LEL %):
Extinguishing Media:
Suitable: Water, Foam, Dry Chemical

Special Fire Fighting Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing

Procedures: apparatus to protect against potentially toxic and irritating fumes.
Use cold water spray to cool fire-exposed containers to minimize
risk of rupture. Do not allow fire fighting water to enter sewer,
surface waters, or ground water systems. Equipment and materials
used in fighting pesticide fires may become contaminated.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Spill or Leak Procedures: Evacuate and keep unnecessary people out of spill area. Use
appropriate personal protective equipment during clean up. Recover
uncontaminated product, if possible. Cover spill with inert material
(e. g., dry sand or earth) and collect for proper disposal. Wash spill
area with soap and water. Soil, absorbents, and other materials that
are contaminated by the spilled product should be collected for
proper disposal. Do not allow spilled material or wash water to enter
sewers, surface waters, or groundwater systems.

Shelf Life: Contact Bayer for specific information.

Special Sensitivity: Not Established

Handling/Storage Precautions: Store in a dry place in orginal or waterproof containers. Store in an

area designated specifically for pesticides. Store separate from food
products. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid excessive contact with
skin or clothing.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection Equipment

Eye Protection Requirements: Chemical safety goggles or glasses.

Skin Protection Requirements: Gloves, long sleeved shirts and pants.

Ventilation Requirements: Use local and general exhaust ventilation to control levels of
exposure.

Respirator Requirements: A NIOSH approved air purifying respirator with organic vapor
cartridges and particulate prefilter can be used to minimize exposure.

Additional Protective Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be available.
Measures: Waterless hand cleaner use is often more effective than soap and
water. Educate and train employees in the safe use and handling of
this product. Follow all label instructions. Launder clothing
separately after use. Employees should wash their hands and face
before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

Toxicity Data for Tempo SC Ultra Pest Control Concentrate

Acute oral toxicity: LD50 = 960 mg/kg bw (Male Rat)

LD50 = 1,150 mg/kg bw (Female Rat)

Acute inhalation toxicity: > 1.72 mg/L, 4 hrs, aerosol (Rat)

Eye Irritation: Slightly irritating (Rabbit)

Skin Irritation: Non-irritating (Rabbit)

Sensitization: Non-sensitizer (Guinea pig)

Toxicity Data for beta-Cyfluthrin

Acute oral toxicity: LD50 = 84 - 380 mg/kg bw (Male Rat)

LD50 = 77 - 651 mg/kg bw (Female Rat)

Acute dermal toxicity: LD50 = > 5,000 mg/kg bw (Rat)

Repeated Dose Toxicity: In a 13 week dog study, beta-Cyfluthrin was administered at dietary
concentrations of 10, 60 or 360 ppm. Effects included vomiting and
diarrhea after feeding, decreased body weight gain, and motor
disturbances in the hind limbs. The no-observed effect-level
(NOEL) was 60 ppm. In a 13 week study using rats, beta-Cyfluthrin
was administered at dietary concentrations of 30, 125 or 500 ppm.
Effects included reduced body weight gains and feed consumption,
uncoordinated gait, and skin injuries of the neck and head from
excessive preening due to the local irritant effect of the test material.
The NOEL was 125 ppm. In a 4 week inhalation study, rats were
exposed to beta-Cyfluthrin at liquid aerosol concentrations of 0.2,
2.7 or 23.5 mg/m3. Effects observed included ungroomed fur,
piloerection, hyper- and hypoactivity, reduced body weight gains,
reduced organ weights (thymus and spleen), and hematological
changes. The NOEL was 0.2 mg/m3 based on decreased body

 weight gains.

Mutagenicity: No mutagenic effects were determined in various in vivo and in vitro

tests.

Developmental In a developmental toxicity study, beta-Cyfluthrin was administered

Toxicity/Teratogenicity: orally to rats during gestation at doses of 3, 10 or 40 mg/kg. At the
lethal and maternally toxic dose of 40 mg/kg, there was a decrease in
fetal body weights and an increased incidence of skeletal findings.
The NOELs for maternal and developmental toxicity were 3 and 10
mg/kg, respectively.

Neurotoxicity: In a 13 week neurotoxicity screening study, beta-Cyfluthrin was

administered to rats at dietary concentrations of 30, 125, or 400 ppm.
Effects observed included reduced body weight and food
consumption, ataxia, repetitive chewing and pawing, increased
activity and reactivity, and red nasal stain. There were no
micropathologic findings within the neural tissues or skeletal
muscle. The NOEL for subchronic neurotoxicity was 400 ppm, the
highest dose tested. The overall NOEL was 30 ppm.
