<br />TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
<br />Animal Data
<br />ESCORT xp
<br />Oral LD50: > 5000 mg/kg in rats (Very low toxicity)
<br />Skin LD50: > 2000 mg/kg b rabbtts (Slight to moder-
<br />ate toxiUty)
<br />ESCORT xp a a slight eye instant but a not a skin
<br />iMtant or skin sensit¢er in animal tests.
<br />Metsulfuron Methyl
<br />Inhalation LC50, 4 hr. > 5.3 mg/L In rats (Very krvr
<br />toxiciy)
<br />Single exposures of animals to Metsulfuron Methyl by
<br />Inhalation caused body weigh loss and other nonspe-
<br />cific efleds. -
<br />Repeatetl applk:ations of Metsulfuron Methyl W the
<br />skin of rabbits caused skin kntation but no other
<br />changes were observed.
<br />Repeated oral doses of Metsulfuron Methyl produced
<br />decreased body weghl gain and decreased INer
<br />weights when compared to the wntrol group. Long
<br />tens admbistratbn caused body weigh[ bss.
<br />Animal testing indicates that Mefsutturon Methyl does
<br />not have carcinogenic, devebpmental, or reproductive
<br />effects.
<br />There a a repel intlicating that Metsulfuron Memyl
<br />protluced genetic damage in a mammalian cell cu4
<br />Nre test: however, other tests with Meisulfuron Memyl
<br />in bacterial antl mammalian cell cultures antl in anF
<br />maa did not produce genetic damage. The weight U
<br />evidence suggests mat Meautturon Methyl does riot
<br />cause genetic damage.
