Acute toxicity Acute oral toxicity Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. As product: LD50, Rat, male and female, > 5,000 mg/kg Acute dermal toxicity Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts. As product: LD50, Rat, male and female, > 5,000 mg/kg Acute inhalation toxicity No adverse effects are anticipated from inhalation. As product: LC50, Rat, male and female, 4 Hour, Aerosol, > 2.21 mg/l No deaths occurred at this concentration. Maximum attainable concentration. Skin corrosion/irritation Prolonged contact is essentially non-irritating to skin. Serious eye damage/eye irritation May cause slight eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Sensitization Did not demonstrate the potential for contact allergy in mice. For respiratory sensitization: No relevant data found. Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Single Exposure) Evaluation of available data suggests that this material is not an STOT-SE toxicant. Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Repeated Exposure) For the active ingredient(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Liver. Product name: TRANSFORM® Insecticide Issue Date: 14.09.2021 ® TM Trademark of Corteva Agriscience and its affiliated companies Page 7 of 12 For the minor component(s): In rare cases, repeated excessive exposure to propylene glycol may cause central nervous system effects. Carcinogenicity For the active ingredient(s): Has caused cancer in laboratory animals. However, the effects are species specific and are not relevant to humans. Teratogenicity For the active ingredient(s): Has caused birth defects in laboratory animals at high doses. In laboratory animals, excessive doses toxic to the parent animals caused decreased weight and survival of offspring. However, the effects are species specific and are not relevant to humans. These concentrations exceed relevant human dose levels. Reproductive toxicity For the active ingredient(s): In animal studies, has been shown to interfere with reproduction. However, the effects are species specific and are not relevant to humans. These concentrations exceed relevant human dose levels. Mutagenicity Animal genetic toxicity studies were negative. Aspiration Hazard Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.
