NOTES
Liquid formulation can be aspired into the lungs resulting in chemical pneumonitis, showing tremors and convultions. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. The recommendations on this Card also apply to cyhalothrin.
