This means the the substance is notclassifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans. IARC (International Agency forResearch on Cancer) has determined that the mechanism in rats and mice isunlikely to occur in humans; hence amitrole has been classified by IARC as Cat3, not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans.LD50 (rat) 129 - 157 mg/kg for paraquat dichlorideLD50 (guinea pig) 30 - 58 mg/kgLD50 (rat) 1100 - 24600 mg/kg for amitroleLD50 (rat) 911 mg/kg for paraquat dichlorideLD50 (rabbit) 240 mg/kg for paraquat ionMay cause temporary damage to nails and a delay in the healing of cuts andwounds.LC50 (rat) (4hr) 0.5 - 1.5 µg/l for paraquat dichlorideThe product is an eye irritant.The product is a skin irritant.Product is not a skin sensitiser.The Australian Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for paraquat (as cation) for ahuman is 0.004 mg/kg/day, set for the public for daily, lifetime exposure.This is based on the NOEL of 0.45 mg/kg/day, the level determined to show noeffects during long term exposure for the most sensitive indicators and themost sensitive species. (Ref: Comm. Dept. of Health and Ageing Office ofChemical Safety, 'ADI List', December 2008).ADI for amitrole is 0.0003 mg/kg/day, NOEL 0.025 mg/kg/day.12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATIONPersistence / Paraquat is rapidly absorbed and inactivated by contact with soil.Degradability There is evidence of photodegradation in air.Other Precautions Do not contaminate dams, waterways or sewers with this product or thecontainers which have held this product.Environ. Protection Spray drift can cause damage, read the label for more information.Acute Toxicity - Fish LC50 (96hr) for brown trout is 2.5 - 13 mg/l for paraquat dichlorideLC50 (96hr) for mirror carp is 135 mg/lAmitrole is not toxic to fish.Acute Toxicity - EC50 (48hr) for daphnia is 6.1 mg/l for paraquat dichloride.DaphniaAcute Toxicity - The following data is for the active ingredient, paraquat dichloride .Other Organisms LD50 for mallard duck is 199 mg/kgLD50 for bobwhite quail is 175 mg/kgBees: Not toxic to bees. LD50 36 µg/bee.Amitrole is not toxic to birds or bees.13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONSProduct Disposal On site disposal of the concentrated product is not acceptable.Ideally, the product should be used for its intended purpose.
