SDS
Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause eects on the following organs in animals:
Blood.
Spleen.
Kindey.
Liver.
Carcinogenicity
For the solvent(s): In a lifetime animal dermal carcinogenicity study, an increased incidence of skin tumors was observed
when kerosene was applied at doses that also produced skin irritation. This response was similar to that produced in skin
by other types of chronic chemical/physical irritation. No increase in tumors was observed when non-irritating dilutions
of kerosene were applied at equivalent doses, indicating that kerosene is unlikely to cause skin cancer in the absence of
long-term continued skin irritation. For the minor component(s): In laboratory animals, evidence of carcinogenic activity
was observed. The observed tumors do not appear to be relevant for men.
For similar active ingredient(s). Triclopyr. Did not cause cancer in laboratory animals.
For similar active ingredient(s). 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 be-
ing negative.
Teratogenicity
For the active ingredient(s): Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. Did not cause
birth defects in laboratory animals.
For the minor component(s): Has caused birth defects in laboratory animals only at doses toxic to the mother. Has been
toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. These concentrations exceed relevant human dose
levels.
Reproductive toxicity
For similar active ingredient(s). 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. In laboratory animals, excessive doses toxic to the par-
ent animals caused decreased weight and survival of ospring.
For similar active ingredient(s). Triclopyr. In laboratory animal studies, eects on reproduction have been seen only at
doses that produced signicant toxicity to the parent animals.
Mutagenicity
For the active ingredient(s): In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative. Animal genetic toxicity studies were negative.
Aspiration Hazard
Aspiration into the lungs may occur during ingestion or vomiting, causing lung damage or even death due to chemical
pneumonia.
