11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Likely Routes of Exposure: Eye and Skin contact.
Symptoms of Exposure:
Eye Contact: Moderately irritating based on toxicity studies. May cause pain, redness and tearing.
Skin Contact: Slightly toxic and slightly irritating based on toxicity studies. Prolonged or repeated skin exposure
of this product may cause allergic reaction in some individuals.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased blood pressure,
muscle weakness, muscle spasms.
Inhalation: Low inhalation toxicity.
Toxicological Data:
Data from laboratory studies conducted on this formulation:
Oral, Rat LD
50
: 2,559 mg/kg
Dermal, Rat or Rabbit LD
50
: >5,000 mg/kg
Inhalation, Rat 4-hr LC
50
: >2.04 mg/L (no mortality at highest dose tested)
Eye Irritation, Rabbit: Moderately irritating (MMTS=25.7)
Skin Irritation, Rabbit: Slightly irritating (PDII=1.4)
Skin Sensitization, Guinea Pig: Sensitizer
Subchronic (Target Organ) Effects: Repeated overexposure to phenoxy herbicides may cause effects to liver,
kidneys, blood chemistry, and gross motor function. Rare cases of peripheral nerve
damage have
been reported,
but extensive animal studies have failed to substantiate these observations, even at high doses for prolonged
periods. Repeated overexposure to dicamba may cause liver changes or a decrease in body weight.
Carcinogenicity / Chronic Health Effects: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists
exposure to chlorophenoxy herbicides as a class 2B carcinogen, the category for limited evidence for
carcinogenicity in humans. However, more current 2,4-D lifetime feeding studies in rats and mice, as well as an
MCPP lifetime feeding study in rats, did not show carcinogenic potential. Dicamba did not cause cancer in long-
term animals studies. The U.S. EPA has given 2,4-D and dicamba a Class D classification (not classifiable as to
human carcinogenicity).
Reproductive Toxicity: No impairment of reproductive function attributable to 2,4-D has been noted in
laboratory animal studies. Animal tests with dicamba have not demonstrated reproductive effects.
Developmental Toxicity: Studies in laboratory animals with 2,4-D and MCPP have shown decreased fetal body
weights and delayed development in the offspring at doses toxic to mother animals. Animal tests with dicamba
have not demonstrated developmental effects.
Genotoxicity: There have been some positive and some negative studies, but the weight of evidence is that
neither 2,4-D nor MCPP is mutagenic. Animal tests with dicamba have not demonstrated mutagenic effects.
