Potential health effects
Eye Contact: May cause mild eye discomfort. May cause eye irritation. May cause slight temporary corneal injury. Mist may cause eye irritation. Vapor may cause eye irritation experienced as mild discomfort and redness. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause slight skin irritation with local redness. Skin Absorption: Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. Inhalation: Mist may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. Excessive exposure (400 ppm) to isopropanol may cause eye, nose and throat irritation. Incoordination, confusion, hypotension, hypothermia, circulatory collapse, respiratory arrest and death may follow a longer duration or higher levels. Observations in animals include middle ear lining damage upon exposure to vapors of isopropanol. However, the relevance of this to humans is unknown Ingestion: Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. Observations in animals include: Lethargy.
Aspiration hazard
Based on available information, aspiration hazard could not be determined Effects of Repeated Exposure For the active ingredient(s) Based on available data, repeated exposures are not expected to cause significant adverse effects except at very high aerosol concentrations. Repeated excessive aerosol exposures may cause respiratory tract irritation and even death. Based on information for component(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Liver. Kidney. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: For similar active ingredient(s). Clopyralid caused birth defects in test animals, but only at greatly exaggerated doses that were severely toxic to the mothers. No birth defects were observed in animals given clopyralid at doses several times greater than those expected during normal exposure. Based on information for component(s): Isopropanol has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother.
