Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Will not occur.
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat. Do not store near heat or flame.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents: bases and acids.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions may produce gases such as hydrogen chloride and oxides
of carbon and nitrogen.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMAITON
Likely Routes of Exposure: Eye contact.
Symptoms of Exposure: Eye irritation.
Delayed, immediate and chronic effects of exposure: Eye irritation.
Toxicological Data:
Except as noted, data from laboratory studies conducted on this product are summarized below.
Oral: Rat LD
50
: 1,030 mg/kg (female) (estimated based on mortalities for doses tested)
Dermal: Rabbit LD
50
: >5,000 mg/kg (data on similar product)
Inhalation: Rat 4-hr LC
50
: >2.06 mg/L (no animals died at this dose)
Eye Irritation: Rabbit: Corrosive/severely irritating (data on similar product)
Skin Irritation: Rabbit: Slightly irritating (data on similar product)
Skin Sensitization: Guinea Pig: Not a contact 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.
Carcinogenicity / Chronic Health Effects: Various animal cancer tests have shown no reliably positive association
between 2,4-D exposure and cancer. Epidemiology studies on herbicide use have been both positive and negative with
the majority being negative.
Reproductive Toxicity: No impairment of reproductive function attributable to 2,4-D has been noted in laboratory animals
studies.
Developmental Toxicity: Studies in laboratory animals with 2,4-D have shown decreased fetal body weights and delayed
development in the offspring at doses toxic to mother animals.
Genotoxicity: There have been some positive and some negative studies, but the weight of evidence is that 2,4-D is not
mutagenic.
