Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Inhalation of material may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Inhalation of Asbestos dust may have a damaging effect on the lungs. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Some liquids produce vapors that may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Emergency and supportive measures: Treat bronchospasm and anaphylaxis if they occur. Observe patients with a history of large ingestions for at least 4-6 hours for any signs of CNS depression or seizures. Pyrethrins and pyrethroids
Extinguishing media
Use carbon dioxide, foam, or dry chemical /on fires involving pyrethroids/. Pyrethrum
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot. For UN3508, be aware of possible short circuiting as this product is transported in a charged state. (ERG, 2016)
Advice for firefighters
Use powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Do NOT wash away into sewer. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Environmental precautions
Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a POTW is acceptable only after review by the governing authority. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must meet Hazardous Material Criteria for disposal.
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.... /Store/ under dry conditions.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Although environmental biodegradation data specific to resmethrin are not available, the pyrethroid class of insecticides is readily degraded by environmental microorganisms(1,2). Pyrethroids are metabolized by both hydrolytic and oxidative processes(2). Both (+) cis and (+) trans undergo isomerization during the formation of metabolites by ester cleavage and oxidation(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 98 was calculated for resmethrin(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.43(1) and a regression derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of resmethrin is estimated at 3.1X10+5(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 5.43(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that resmethrin is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
Disposal methods
ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
