Section 4: first aid measures

Skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated skin with soapy water. If skin
irritation develops, get medical attention. Wash clothing thoroughly before-use.
Eye contact: Rinse eye(s) with clean running water for 15 mins. Get medical attention.
Ingestion : Rinse mouth. Give water to drink if patient is conscious. DO NOT induce vomiting. If
vomiting occur sure patient can breathe, then give water to drink. Get medical attention.
Advice to doctor: No specific antidote is known .Treat symptomatically. Vitamin E Cream has proved
useful for cases of skin contact.

Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media : Carbon di oxide, dry chemical, foam, water fog.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water stream.
Special hazards in fire: Product is flammable. Combustion may release carbon dioxide, nitrogen
oxides, and/or chlorine compounds.
Required special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus if
in enclosed space
Hazard chem. code: 2X

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Emergency Procedures: Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eyes being affected .Evacuate
unprotected and unnecessary personnel from area of spill. If material is leaking from a container, stop
the leak only if this can be done safely. Prevent spillage entering drains or water course.
Methods for containment &Cleanup: Vermiculite, Sand, Soil is a suitable absorbent, especially soil
shighinclay. Soilcan be used to form bunds to contain spillage. Contaminated soil should be collected for
disposal at a suitable and fill. Contaminated area and tools should be washed down with hypo chlorite
bleach. Personal protective equipment and clothing should be washed with soapy water.

Section 7: Handling and storage

Handling Procedures: Keep out of reach of children and animals. Keep away from food, drink, and
animal feeds tuff .Wear suitable Personal protective Equipment when handling and spraying.
Storing Procedures: Store in the original container in a dry, cool, ventilated, LOCKED area. DONOT
store in prolonged sunlight.DONOTstore with food, seed, or animal feeds tuff.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/ Personal protection

National exposure standards: Not established for alpha-Cypermethrin. The solvent has recommended an
occupational exposure limit of 100mg/m3; 17ppm TWA, as total hydrocarbon.
Biological limit values: ADI foralpha-Cypermethrinis0.05mg/kg/day.NOELis4.7 mg/kg/day.
Engineering measures: Use assisted ventilation in enclosed spaces if needed, especially storage areas.
PERSONALPROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Eye/face protection: Goggles or glasses to AS1366, AS/NZS1337
Hand/skin protection: Over all, PVC gloves and apron, face shield
Respiratory protection: Should not be necessary under normal conditions. If spray mist may be
encountered, a particulate filter to AS/NZS1715shouldbeworn.

Containers: Whenever possible, follow directions given on container. If not available, triple or
pressure in seplasticor metal containers before disposal. Recycle containers if possible (replace cap and
return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point). Treat rinsing as for product above. If
not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty container sine local authority and fill. If no land
fill is available, bury the containers below 500mm in adisposalpit specifically marked and setup forth is
purpose clear of water ways, desirable vegetation and tree roots .Empty container sand product should
not be burnt.
