Potential health effects

Acute Toxicity (Primary Routes of Exposure) Signs and Symptoms of Systemic Effects: The acute toxicity of this product is relatively low; transient, minimal signs of toxicity were observed in animals at high oral doses. 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 can cause brief and/or minor irritation. The expected adverse health effects resulting from an exposure may include redness and possibly some minor swelling. This product is not expected to cause allergic skin reactions. This product is minimally toxic when absorbed through the skin. Acute Ingestion: This product is minimally toxic when ingested. Acute Inhalation: Based on an evaluation of the ingredients and/or similar products, this product may 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 high exposures to Pyriproxyfen Technical produced changes in the liver, kidney and red blood cells but did not produce cancer in test animals. Overall, this product is not expected to be a chronic hazard when used according to label directions. Developmental Toxicity (birth defects): No developmental toxicity was produced in animals exposed to Pyriproxyfen Technical, even at doses that were toxic to the pregnant animal. Reproductive Toxicity: Pyriproxyfen Technical did not produce reproductive toxicity in animal studies. Potentially Aggravated Medical Conditions: Individuals with preexisting diseases of the liver, kidney, red blood cell or central nervous system may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures.
