Laboratory data: The toxicological information given here is not necessarily exhaustive but is representative of relevant, reliable data. All tests were conducted following OECD guidelines for Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Formulation: Acute oral toxicity LD50 (rat) : > 5 000 mg/kg. Practically non harmful by ingestion. Acute dermal toxicity LD50 (rabbit) : >2 000 mg/kg. Practically non harmful by skin absorption. Practically non irritating to eyes Slightly irritating to skin Not a skin sensitiser Active Ingredient: Test on glyphosate showed that it did not cause any mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic or adverse reproductive effects. It is not neurotoxic and does not inhibit cholinesterase. Human Experience: If swallowed, may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation (discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea). Other Ingredients: Mineral oils may cause defatting of the skin and subsequently dermatitis in the event of repeated skin contact. Top of Page
Aquatic toxicity: 96 hour LC50: Rainbow Trout = > 150 mg/l. 48 hour LC50: Daphnia magna = 0.52 mg/l (nominal) 72 hour EC50: Algae (selenastrum capricornutum) = > 150 mg/l. No Observable Effect: Concentration (NOEL): Algae (selenastrum capriocornutum) = 68 mg/l. Other Wildlife toxicity: Tests in a variety of mammalian, avian and aquatic species have shown that Glyphosate does not bio-accumulate. Mineral oils are harmful to aquatic life. Top of Page
