POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

Acute Toxicity (Primary Routes of Exposure)

Signs and Symptoms of Systemic Effects: Signs of toxicity in test animals at lethal or near-lethal acute doses included salivation, lacrimation, decreased activity, lethargy, and irregular gait.

Eye: This product has been shown to be corrosive to eyes. The degree of injury will depend on the amount and duration of contact and the speed and thoroughness of the first aid treatment. The expected adverse health effects resulting from an exposure may include irreversible eye damage and possibly blindness.

Skin: This product has been shown to cause moderate skin irritation. The degree of injury will depend on the amount and duration of the contact and the speed and thoroughness of the first aid treatment. The expected adverse health effects resulting from an exposure may include redness and swelling. This product has been shown to cause allergic skin reactions in test animals. In sensitized individuals even very small exposures can trigger allergic reactions. The expected adverse health effects may include itching, redness, swelling, and blistering of the skin. This product has been shown to be slightly toxic when absorbed through the skin. The degree of injury will depend on the amount of material absorbed and the speed and thoroughness of the first aid treatment. The expected adverse systemic health effects resulting from an exposure are described above.

Ingestion: Ingestion of this product may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Because of the low viscosity of this product, it can directly enter the lungs if it is swallowed (this is called aspiration). This can occur during the act of swallowing or when vomiting. Once in the lungs, the substance is very difficult to remove and can cause severe injury to the lungs and death. This product has been shown to be slightly toxic when ingested. The degree of injury will depend on the amount of material ingested and the speed and thoroughness of the first aid treatment. The expected adverse systemic health effects resulting from an exposure are described above.

Inhalation: Exposure to very high concentrations may result in respiratory irritation. Signs and symptoms may include nasal discharge, sore throat, coughing, and difficulty in breathing. This product has been shown to be minimally toxic when inhaled. The degree of injury will depend on the amount of material inhaled and the speed and thoroughness of the first aid treatment. The expected adverse systemic health effects are described above.

Chronic Toxicity (Including Cancer): Studies with Lactofen Technical indicate that repeated high exposures produced changes primarily in the liver and blood cells. Other organs were affected but only at very high dose levels. No toxic effects were observed in a study with chimpanzees. Lactofen Technical did produce liver tumors in both rats and mice and EPA has classified Lactofen Technical as a Group B2 carcinogen (probable human carcinogen) on the basis of these findings. Studies with Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical indicate that repeated high exposures produced changes in the liver, kidney, and red blood cells but did not produce cancer in test animals.

Teratology (Birth Defects) Information: In studies with Lactofen Technical birth defects were produced in animals only at doses that were also toxic to the pregnant female. No developmental toxicity was produced in animals exposed to Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical, even at doses that were toxic to the pregnant animal.

Reproduction Information: Studies with Lactofen Technical showed reproductive effects in animals only at doses that produced other types of general toxicity. Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical did not produce reproductive toxicity in animal studies.

Potentially Aggravated Condition: Individuals with preexisting diseases of the liver, kidney, or red blood cells may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures. For complete discussion of the toxicology data from which this evaluation was made, refer to Section 11.

ACUTE (Product Specific Information):

Eye Irritation: This product produced moderate to severe eye irritation and irreversible corneal damage in rabbits. (Toxicity Category I, Corrosive)

Skin Irritation: This product produced moderate skin irritation (72 hour PPI = 2.1) in rabbits. (Toxicity Category III)

Dermal Toxicity: The dermal LD50 in rabbits is greater than 2 g/kg. (Toxicity Category III)

Oral Toxicity: The oral LD50 in rats is 1.289 g/kg. (Toxicity Category III)

Inhalation Toxicity: The 4-hour inhalation LC50 is greater than 3.6 mg/l. (Toxicity Category IV)

Skin Sensitization: This product produced a positive response in a modified Buehler Guinea Pig Sensitization Test.

SUBCHRONIC: This product contains Lactofen Technical and Flumiclorac Pentyl Lactofen.

In a 4-week oral toxicity study of Lactofen Technical in rats, a slight increase in spleen weight was the basis for a LOEL of 200 ppm. At doses of 1000 ppm or higher the following findings were reported: clinical signs of toxicity; decreased RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and increased WBC; increased relative liver and spleen weights; and necrosis and pigmentation of hepatocytes. At 10,000 ppm severe toxic signs were observed by day 7 and all animals were dead or killed in extremis by day 11. Hypocellularity of the spleen, thymus, and bone marrow was also observed in animals exposed to 10,000 ppm.

Histopathological changes in the liver and significant changes in clinical chemistry associated with the liver were observed in rats exposed to 1000 ppm of Lactofen Technical for 90 days. Decreased RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit values were also observed at 1000 ppm. The NOEL in this study was 200 ppm.

In a 90-day study in mice, the LOEL for Lactofen Technical was 200 ppm based on: increased WBC, decreased hematocrit, hemoglobin, and RBC; increased alkaline phosphatase, SGOT, SGPT, cholesterol, and total serum protein levels; increased weights or enlargement of the spleen, liver, adrenals, heart, and kidney; histopathological changes of the liver, kidney, thymus, spleen, ovaries, and testes.

A subchronic toxicity study of Lactofen Technical in male chimpanzees was conducted. The chimpanzees were exposed to 5 or 75 mg/kg/day of Lactofen Technical for 92 or 93 days and examined through day 239 of the study. No effect on hematologic parameters or liver function was observed. Compound-related effects noted at very high dose levels of Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical in rodents and/or dogs included: increased liver and kidney weights; histological changes in the kidney and liver; slight changes in blood biochemistry parameters; decreased red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit; and slight decreases in body weight. The LOEL in rats and mice was 1000 ppm.

CHRONIC/CARCINOGENICITY: This product contains Lactofen Technical and Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical.

In an 18-month oncogenicity study in mice at doses of 10, 50, and 250 ppm Lactofen Technical, a statistically significant increase in liver adenomas and carcinomas was observed at 250 ppm in both sexes. The lowest dose, 10 ppm, was the LOEL with increased liver weight and hepatocytomegally. In a 2-year chronic feeding/oncogenicity study of Lactofen Technical in rats at doses of 500, 1000, and 2000 ppm in the diet, a statistically significant increase of liver neoplastic nodules and foci of cellular alteration was observed in both sexes at 2000 ppm. The LOEL for systemic toxicity is 500 ppm based on kidney and liver pigmentation. Based on the rat and mouse oncogenicity studies, EPA has classified Lactofen Technical as a Group B2 carcinogen (probably carcinogenic to humans).

Research studies indicate that Lactofen Technical and pure Lactofen are peroxisome proliferating agents and appear to induce liver tumors through this epigenetic mechanism.

In a 1-year feeding study of Lactofen Technical with dogs, the LOEL is 200 ppm and the LOEL is 1000/3000 ppm based on renal dysfunction and decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC, and cholesterol.

Effects of long-term exposures to high dose levels of Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical in rodents and/or dogs consisted primarily of increases in kidney and liver weight, slight changes in blood biochemistry, and histological changes in the liver. The lowest LOEL was 300 ppm in the mouse study. Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical was not carcinogenic in either rats or mice.

TERATOLOGY/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: This product contains Lactofen Technical and Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical.

Pregnant rats were administered oral doses of 15, 50, and 150 mg/kg/day Lactofen Technical on days 6-19 of gestation. Maternal toxicity (death, abortion, and reduced body weight gain) was observed at 150 mg/kg/day. Developmental toxicity (reduced fetal weight, bent ribs and bent limb bones) was also observed at 150 mg/kg/day. The LOEL for this study was 50 mg/kg/day. Two developmental toxicity studies on Lactofen Technical were conducted in rabbits. In the first study, pregnant rabbits were administered oral doses of 5, 15, or 50 mg/kg/day of Lactofen Technical on days 6-18 of gestation. Maternal toxicity and developmental effects were observed at 15 and 50 mg/kg/day. In the second study, pregnant rabbits were exposed to 1, 4, or 20 mg/kg/day oral doses on days 6-18 of gestation. Maternal toxicity was observed at 20 mg/kg/day, while no developmental effects were observed at this dose.

No developmental toxicity was observed in rats or rabbits even at maternally toxic levels of Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical. In rabbits the maternal LOEL was 400 mg/kg/day and the developmental LOEL was 800 mg/kg/day. In rats the maternal and developmental LOELs were 1500 mg/kg/day.

REPRODUCTION: This product contains Lactofen Technical and Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical.

Groups of male and female rats were administered 50, 500, or 2000 ppm of Lactofen Technical continuously for two generations. Adult systemic toxicity (mortality, reduced body weight, increased liver and spleen weight, decreased kidney weight, histopathological changes in the liver and testes) was observed at levels of 500 ppm and greater.

Reproductive toxicity (lower pup survival rates, reduced pup weight, pup organ weight effects) was also observed at levels of 500 ppm and greater. The LOEL for both systemic and reproductive toxicity was 50 ppm. Reproductive toxicity (higher rate of F1 pup deaths on Day 0 of lactation) as well as systemic toxicity were observed in rats at doses of 10,000 and 20,000 ppm in a two-generation rat reproduction study. A repeat study for one generation did not confirm the reproductive toxicity finding. Thus, Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical is not considered a reproductive toxicant.

MUTAGENICITY: This product contains Lactofen Technical and Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical.

The following mutagenicity studies with Lactofen Technical were negative: unscheduled DNA synthesis, chromosomal aberration, DNA repair assay, and one Ames assay. A second Ames assay was positive. Lactofen Technical is not considered a genetic hazard.

Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical was not mutagenic in most assays: gene mutation (with and without S-9 activation), unscheduled DNA synthesis, in vitro chromosomal aberration (with S-9), and in vivo mouse micronucleus. Only a weak positive response was observed in the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in the absence of S-9 metabolic activation. Overall, Flumiclorac Pentyl Technical is not a genetic hazard.

OTHER: This product contains an inert ingredient or technical grade impurity which can cause reversible, moderate to severe eye, upper respiratory tract (e.g. mouth, nose, and throat), and skin irritation following contact with either the liquid material or high concentrations of its vapors. Long-term or repeated application of the liquid material to the skin can result in severe dermatitis with drying, redness, blistering, and edema. Long-term inhalation of its vapors by experimental animals did not produce any significant, toxic effects. This material did not produce birth defects in experimental animals following exposure via ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation. No data regarding the potential of this material to cause reproductive or developmental toxicity in humans are available. This material did not produce cancer in experimental animals following inhalation exposure. No data regarding the potential of this material to cause cancer in humans are available. This material was not mutagenic in the vast majority of in vitro studies in which it was tested. This product contains a small amount of a chemical that has been reported to cause developmental toxicity in rats and mice exposed by inhalation during pregnancy. The effects noted consisted of delayed development and minor skeletal variations; additionally, when pregnant mice were exposed by ingestion to a level that killed nearly one-third of the test group, lethality (resorptions) and malformations (primarily cleft palate) occurred. Malformations have not been reported following inhalation exposure. Because of the very high levels of exposure used in these studies, we do not believe that their results imply an increased risk of reproductive toxicity to workers exposed to this chemical at levels at or below the exposure standard. This chemical has given negative results in several mutagen testing assays including the Ames assay. In a cancer study sponsored by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), technical grade of this chemical gave no evidence of carcinogenicity in rats or mice dosed daily for two years.

This product contains an inert ingredient that when inhaled can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, central nervous system effects including dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache, and possible unconsciousness, and even death. Ingestion of this chemical can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.
