11. toxicological info
Laboratory:
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 Practice (GLP).

Active Ingredients:
MCPA:
Acute oral LD50(rat) = 700 mg/kg
Acute dermal LD50(rat) = >1 000 mg/kg
Mecoprop-p:
Acute oral LD50(rat) = 1050 mg/kg.
Acute dermal LD50(rat) = > 4 000 mg/kg
Inhalation LC50(4hr)(rat) = > 5.6 mg/l
Dicamba:
Acute oral LD50(rat) = 1 700 mg/kg
Acute dermal LD50(rat) - > 2 000 mg/kg
Inhalation LC50(4hr) (rat) = 200 mg/l

Human data:
If swallowed, may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation (discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea).

MCPA :
Shows moderate oral toxicity and is classified as an eye irritant. Cases of dermatitis have been reported and there is some evidence that some workers may be allergic to the chemical through pains, nausea, itching and burning of the skin.
Dicamba:
Slightly irritating to rabbit skin. Does not exhibit any carcinogenic, teratogenic or other reproductive effects with the exception of slightly reduced foetal body weights in animal tests. Data suggests that Dicamba is not a mutagen.
