Potential health effects

Acute Toxicity (Primary Routes of Exposure): None known Acute Eye Contact: This product is expected to cause minimal or no eye irritation. The expected adverse health effects resulting from an exposure may include redness and possibly some minor swelling. Acute Skin Contact: This product may cause minor skin irritation and / or short term. If exposed, the expected adverse health effects may include irritation and possibly a slight inflammation. This product may be slightly toxic when absorbed through the skin. This product is not expected to cause allergic skin reactions. Acute Ingestion: This product is expected to be minimally toxic when ingested. Acute Inhalation: This product is expected to be minimally toxic when inhaled. Exposure to high concentrations in the air may result in respiratory irritation. Signs and symptoms may include, but not be limited to, nasal discharge, sore throat, coughing and difficulty in breathing. Chronic Toxicity (including cancer): Repeated exposures to Flumioxazin Technical in animals have produced anemia and other blood formation changes, organ weight changes and changes in blood chemistry. Flumioxazin Technical did not produce cancer in life-time feeding studies in laboratory animals. Developmental Toxicity (birth defects): Birth defects were produced in the offspring of female rats exposed to Flumioxazin Technical. No effects were observed in rabbits. Reproductive toxicity: Reproductive effects were observed in rats exposed to Flumioxazin Technical. Signs and Symptoms of Systemic Effects: The toxicity of this product has not been fully assessed. The information provided is based on the technical material or a similar product. No signs or symptoms occured in animals exposed to high oral or dermal doses of Flumioxazin Technical. Exposure to very high concentrations of Flumioxazin Technical in the air resulted in breathing difficulties, decreased activity and some changes in the tissues of the respiratory system. Potentially Aggravated Medical Conditions: Individuals with anemia or preexisting diseases of the blood may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
