It has been found nontoxic to bees and marginally toxic to fish (rainbow trout LC 50 (96 hr) = 117 ppm). [4] Garlon's fact sheet for their triclopyr ester product indicates that triclopyr is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants, and aquatic invertebrates, and should never be used in waterways, wetlands, or other sensitive habitats.

Health effects of pesticides may be acute or delayed in those who are exposed. [1] Acute effects can include pesticide poisoning, which may be a medical emergency. [2] Strong evidence exists for other, long-term negative health outcomes from pesticide exposure including birth defects, fetal death, [3] neurodevelopmental disorder, [4] cancer, and neurologic illness including Parkinson's disease ...
Picloram is of moderate toxicity to the eyes and only mildly toxic on the skin. [3] No history of human intoxication by picloram has been documented, so symptoms of acute exposure are difficult to characterize. Picloram is the most persistent of its family of herbicides. [7]
The surfactant POEA is not considered an acute toxicity hazard, and has an oral toxicity similar to vitamin A and less toxic than aspirin. [24] Deliberate ingestion of Roundup ranging from 85 to 200 ml (of 41% solution) has resulted in death within hours of ingestion, although it has also been ingested in quantities as large as 500 ml with only ...
As of 1992, studies on phenoxy herbicides were too few to accurately assess the risk of many types of cancer from these herbicides, even although evidence was stronger that exposure to these herbicides is associated with increased risk of soft tissue sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [44] Toxicity. Herbicides have widely variable toxicity.
[42] [43] [44] And another long-term effect is different types of cancers such as lung cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, and kidney cancer. Farmers and everyone in surrounding areas of pesticide poisoning are exposed and at risk of all the long term effects. [ 45 ]
Val Kilmer is stepping back into the spotlight. The "Top Gun" actor made a very rare public appearance on Monday at a charity basketball game, where he wore a button-down shirt painted with the ...
Need info. on health effects on humans, especially. Triclopyr is not regulated as a (human) toxic substance in California, which probably means that it has negligible human toxicity. However, the so-called "inert ingredients" of the various formulations may be toxic.67.170.238.175 17:21, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
