11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
CHRONIC TOXICITY [Based on (RS) - Methoprene]
Methoprene is not considered as an oncogenic compound. The NOEL for non-carcinogenic effects in an 18 month
mouse study was 250 ppm.
DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY [Based on (RS) - Methoprene]
Methoprene is not a teratogenic compound. The NOEL for maternal and embryo toxicity in rabbits was 200 mg/kg/day.
The NOEL for reproductive effects in rats was 500 ppm.
MUTAGENICITY [Specific to Ingredient(s)]
Methoprene is not a mutagenic compound. (Based on (RS) - Methoprene)
CARCINOGENICITY [Silica Crystalline Quartz (Sand)] The process by which silica dust in the sand is agglomerated and
coagulated by the cross-linked protein to form an essentially dust-free granule. The granule is glazed with a
protein/charcoal coating that effectively seals the sand, and any concomitant silica, within the granule. Any dust that
results from abrasion during handling will consist of protein and charcoal. Exposure to silica dust from the finished
product will not be expected to occur. Finished product not considered carcinogenic.
