POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Eye contact may cause discomfort, tearing, swelling, redness, and blurred vision.

From MSDS
CHRONIC: Data from glyphosate laboratory toxicology studies were conducted with a formulation comprised of 62% isopropylamine salt of glyphosate (MON 0139).
Rabbits - 3 week dermal: Repeated daily primarily resulted in slight skin irritation.
Dogs - 6 month feeding: Only slight body weight changes noted.
Rats - 90 day feeding: No treatment related effects.
Mice - 90 day feeding: Decreased weight gains at the high dose level group animals.
NEUROTOXICITY: GLYPHOSATE: There was no evidence of nervous system toxicity, including delayed induced peripheral neuropathy in chickens (repeated oral dosing) or cholinesterase inhibition in rats (single oral dosing).
TERATOGENICITY: GLYPHOSATE: No evidence of teratogenic effects. Results of rat and rabbit teratology studies indicate that no birth defects were noted. This included dose levels of glyphosate that were maternally toxic.
REPRODUCTIVE TOXIN: GLYPHOSATE: No evidence of adverse reproductive effects. Glyphosate was fed continuously to rats at very high dose levels for 2 successive generations. Toxicity was reported in offspring from the high dose, a level which also produced adverse effects on the mothers. In a 3-generation study conducted at lower dose levels, no effects were seen on the ability of male or female rats to reproduce.
MUTAGENICITY: GLYPHOSATE: Glyphosate has not produced any genetic changes in various mutagenicity tests involving animals and animal or bacterial cells.
|
From MSDS
CARCINOGENICITY COMMENTS: GLYPHOSATE: Glyphosate is not considered to be a carcinogen. Glyphosate did not produce tumors in any of the long-term toxicology studies. EPA has classified glyphosate in category "E" (Evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans).
