guaranteed analysis or as a specification.
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity: Not reactive
Chemical Stability: This material is stable under normal handling and storage conditions.
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Will not occur.
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat. For imidacloprid, strong exothermal reaction above 200º C.
Incompatible Materials: Not known.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Under fire conditions, may produce gases such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen
cyanide and oxides of carbon and nitrogen.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMAITON
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, eye and skin contact.
Symptoms of Exposure: Mildly irritating to the eyes based on toxicity studies. Minimally toxic and slightly irritating to the
skin based on toxicity studies. Slightly toxic if ingested based on toxicity studies. Low inhalation toxicity.
Delayed, immediate and chronic effects of exposure: None known.
Toxicological Data:
Data from laboratory studies conducted are summarized below.
Oral: Rat LD
50
: >5,000 mg/kg (female)
Dermal: Rabbit LD
50
: >5,000 mg/kg
Inhalation: Rat 4-hr LC
50
: >2.02 mg/L
Eye Irritation: Rabbit: Mildly irritating (cleared within 72 hours)
Skin Irritation: Rabbit: Slightly irritating
Skin Sensitization: Not a contact sensitizer in guinea pigs following repeated skin exposure.
Subchronic (Target Organ) Effects: Repeated overexposure to imidacloprid, may effect heart, thyroid, blood chemistry,
and liver. Ingestion of large amounts of propylene glycol has resulted in symptoms of reversible central nervous system
depression including stupor, rapid breathing and heartbeat, profuse sweating and seizures.
Carcinogenicity / Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged overexposure to imidacloprid can cause effect to the thyroid.
Repeated overexposure to propylene glycol can produce central nervous system depression, hemolysis and minimal
kidney damage. Imidacloprid did not cause cancer in laboratory animal studies. The U.S. EPA has given imidacloprid a
Group E classification (evidence of non-carcinogenicity in humans).
Reproductive Toxicity: In a two-generation reproduction study in rats, imidacloprid produced reduced mean body
weights and body weight gains. No other reproductive effects were observed.
Developmental Toxicity: Rat and rabbit studies on inidacloprid resulted in skeletal abnormalities, increased resorptions
(rabbits) and reduced body weight gains at doses that were also toxic to mother animals.
Genotoxicity: The imidacloprid mutagenicity studies, taken collectively, demonstrate that imidacloprid is not genotoxic or
mutagenic.
Assessment Carcinogenicity: None listed with ACGIH, IARC, NTP or OSHA.
