SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
May cause skin irritation. May cause eye irritation.
Data and interpretation:
Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure.
Cyromazine possibly may affect the blood and haematopoietic
system. The solvent (1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone) may affect
development and/or reproduction.
Summaries data: Cyromazine: An acute toxin - `slightly toxic' [LD50 (oral) 1467-
4050mg/kg; LC50 (inhalation) >2.720mg/l air/4 hr; LD50 (dermal)
>3100mg/kg]. In repeated oral dose animal studies, the most
consistent effect was a reduction in body weight gain at high dose
levels during the treatment period (largely reversible). Red blood
cell counts and haemoglobin levels were reduced in some animals
at high doses. Lowest NOAEL 0.75mg/kg/day.
1-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidinone: Low acute toxicity [LD50 (oral, rabbit)
3500mg/kg; LD50 (dermal) >8000 mg/kg]. Irritant to skin and eyes.
In reproductive studies in laboratory animals, repeated dose
exposure from mating to weaning was associated with lower pup
body weights, reduced fertility and fecundity, reduced litter sizes,
reduced pup survival, resorptions and malformations (NOEL
50mg/kg/d).
SECTION 12: ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Harmful to aquatic organisms.
Potential environmental
interactions:
Data organisation : Cyromazine: Insect growth regulator with contact action, which
interferes with moulting and pupation of flies (interferes with the
first dipteran larval moult and to a certain extent with
metamorphosis). May be toxic to bees [adult honey bees (no action
up to 5 礸/bee)] and soil organisms. Low toxicity for birds and
mammals. A potential terrestrial vertebrate toxin based on toxicity
data from laboratory animals [LD50 (oral, rabbit) 1467mg/kg].
Cyromazine is not expected to accumulate in soils, plants or tissues.
