3. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Chemical Name
R20/22-43-50/53; S2-13-24-36/37/39-60-61 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical
attention.
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation occurs and persists.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting and do not give liquids of any kind to the person. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists,
contact a medical doctor.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product has low oral and dermal toxicity. It is
expected to have low inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes and slightly irritating to the
skin. This product contains a granular material (sand) that may cause mechanical irritation to the eyes.
Reversible skin sensations (paresthesia) may occur and ordinary skin salves have been found useful in
reducing discomfort. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure followed by symptomatic and
supportive care.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if
necessary. Contain all runoff.
POUNCE® 1.5 G INSECTICIDE (52645-53-1-21) FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Slightly combustible. This material may support
combustion at elevated temperatures.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full
protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors
generated.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective
equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons
and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Large spills should be covered to prevent dispersal. For dry material, use a wet sweeping compound or water to prevent the formation of dust. If water is used, prevent runoff or dispersion of excess liquid by diking and absorbing with a non-combustible absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump all waste material, including absorbent, into a drum and label contents for disposal. To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with a suitable solution (i.e., bleach or caustic/soda ash and either ethylene glycol or an appropriate alcohol, i.e., methanol, ethanol or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water solution. Absorb as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste already collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13, "Disposal Considerations". 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not use or
store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces. Store in original containers only. Keep out of reach of children
and animals. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where dust may be
emitted. Ventilate all transport vehicles prior to unloading.
POUNCE® 1.5 G INSECTICIDE (52645-53-1-21) PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For dust exposures wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or
full-face air-purifying respirator which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN
or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne
concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear
coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills,
wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and
watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work
clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as rubber or nitrile.
Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for
leaks.

WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of
eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking or using tobacco. Shower at the end of the
workday.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE EFFECTS: Minimally irritating
POUNCE® 1.5 G INSECTICIDE (52645-53-1-21) SKIN EFFECTS: Slightly irritating
DERMAL LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ORAL LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg (rat)
INHALATION LC50: Permethrin: 2.3 mg/l (4 h) (rat)
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: This product has low oral and dermal
toxicity. It is expected to have low inhalation toxicity. It is minimally irritating to the eyes and slightly
irritating to the skin. Excessive exposure to dust may irritate the respiratory system, skin and eyes.
Experience to date indicates that contact with this product has rarely produced skin sensations such as
numbing, burning or tingling. These sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours. Large,
toxic doses administered to laboratory animals have produced symptoms such as diarrhea, salivation,
tremors and intermittent convulsions. Overexposure to animals, via inhalation, has also produced
hyperactivity and hypersensitivity.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No data available for the
formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, permethrin did not cause reproductive toxicity or
teratogenicity. Analysis of chronic feeding studies in both mice and rats with permethrin resulted in the
conclusion that permethrin's potential for induction of oncogenicity in experimental animals is low and that
the likelihood of oncogenic effects in humans is nonexistent or extremely low. Long-term feeding studies in
animals resulted in increased liver and kidney weights, induction of the liver microsomal drug metabolizing
enzyme system and histopathological changes in the lungs and liver. An overall absence of genotoxicity has
been demonstrated in mutagenicity testing with permethrin.
CARCINOGENICITY:
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the active ingredient.
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Permethrin is stable at a wide range of pH values. Permethrin
has a moderate rate of degradation in soil and the half-life is related to the soil type, microbial population, concentration in the soil and the aerobic condition of the soil. Because of its high affinity for organic matter (Koc = 86,000), there is little potential for movement in soil or entry into ground water. Permethrin has a Log Pow of 6.1, but because of the ease with which biological systems degrade the molecule, the potential for bioconcentration and accumulation in the environment is low (BCF = 500).
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Permethrin is highly toxic to fish (LC50 =
0.5 µg/L to 315 µg/L) and aquatic arthropods (LC50 = 0.02 µg/L to 7.6 µg/L). Marine species are often more sensitive than the freshwater species. Bacteria, algae, mollusks and amphibians are much more POUNCE® 1.5 G INSECTICIDE (52645-53-1-21) tolerant of permethrin than the fish and arthropods. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic environment. Permethrin is slightly toxic to birds and oral LD50 values are greater than 3600 mg/kg. Longer dietary studies showed that concentrations of up to 500 ppm in the diet had no effect on bird reproduction. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited.
If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of
disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards
and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory
requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal.
EMPTY CONTAINER: Completely empty package into application equipment then dispose of
empty package in accordance with all Federal, State and local regulations.
