<br />Single exposures of animals to Metsufuon Methyl by

<br />cific effects. -
<br />Repeated appFlcations of Metsulfuron Methyl to the

<br />changes were observed.
<br />Repeated oral tlases of Metsulfuron Methyl produced
<br />tlecreasetl body weight gain end decreased liver

<br />term administration caused body weight kxss.
<br />Animal testing indicates that Metsufuron Methyl does
<br />not have wrciragenk, devebpmental, or reprotluc5ve
<br />effects.
<br />There s a capon intlkating that Metsuluon Methyl
