Reproductive/Developmental Effects
Chlorothalonil: No evidence of adverse developmental effects in rabbit and rat studies.
Chronic/Subchronic Toxicity Studies
Chlorothalonil: In Dogs, 1 years administration caused a significant decrease in body weight gain and increases in
absolute liver and kidney weights.
Neurotoxicity: No evidence in regulatory studies.

Carcinogenicity
Chlorothalonil: No evidence of carcinogenicity in dogs after administration for up to one year. Treatment related
increases in the incidence of renal tubular and carcinoma were observed in rats and male mice.
Squamous cell adenomas and carcinomas were also observed in the forestomach of both species. The
forestomach tumors seen in rodent studies are not relevant to human health, as humans do not possess
an anatomical equivalent of the rodent forestomach. The relevance of renal tumors to human health is
unclear, although metabolism data suggest that the dog, a species that is resistant to chlorothalonil-
induced renal injury, may be more representative of humans than the rat. IARC identifies
chlorothalonil as a 2B carcinogen (possibly carcinogenic to humans).
Other Toxicity Information
Studies on rats and mice have suggested that technical chlorothalonil (97%), when fed at high levels in the diet, may have
oncogenic potential to these laboratory animals. However, neither chlorothalonil nor its metabolites interact with DNA and thus
are not mutagenic. Tumor formation has been related to a non-genotoxic mechanism of action for which threshold levels have
been established in rats and mice. Comprehensive dietary and worker exposure studies have shown exposure levels for humans to
be well below these threshold levels. In addition, surveillance of chlorothalonil plant workers for over twenty years has not
demonstrated any increase in oncogenic potential to humans.
May cause sensitization by skin contact. Exposure of the skin to chlorothalonil may result in weak contact dermatitis.
Toxicity of Other Components
Propylene Glycol
Reported to cause central nervous system depression (anesthesia, dizziness, confusion), headache and nausea. Also eye
irritation may occur with lacrimation but no residual discomfort or injury. Prolonged contact to skin may cause mild to
moderate irritation and possible allergic reactions. Chronic dietary exposure caused kidney and liver injury in
experimental animals.
Surfactant
Prolonged exposure may result in temporary irritation of the eyes. Repeated skin contact may result in slight, temporary
irritation. Ingestion of large amounts will result in diarrhea and weakness. Inhalation overexposure will not occur during
normal use.
