¤ HEALTH HAZARDS ¤
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Acute Inhalation: Avoid breathing mist and vapors.
Eye Contact:
Slight irritation.

Moderately Irritating, Harmful if Absorbed.
Ingestion:
Harmful if ingested.
Primary Routes
of Entry: Inhalation and skin contact.
Systemic &
Other Effects: Unknown.
Chemicals Listed
as Carcinogens or Potential Carcinogens: None Known. Permethrin produced
an increase incidence of

Liver Tumors in female mice at elevated dietary concentrations.
COMMENTS:
EPA Tox Category: III (caution) Emergency overview: Health:
Harmful if absorbed through skin. Avoid
contact
with face, eyes, or skin. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling and before
