Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Local Effects:
Target Organs: Clodinafop-Propargyl: Liver, skin, bone marrow.
Clodinafop-propargyl is Classed by ASCC as a potential sensitiser by skin contact.
Clodinafop-propargyl technical: No evidence of mutagenic, teratogenic or reproductive effects was obtained. It
induced liver toxicity and benign and malignant liver tumours in mice fed high daily doses over their whole lifetime.
Rats fed high doses showed mild liver toxicity but did not develop tumours while no liver effects were observed for
dogs fed high doses. The liver tumour finding occurring at high doses is believed due to clodinafop-propargyl
inducing proliferative effects genetically pre-existing in mice and has no relevance to humans because the cellular
changes which underlie it are rodent-specific and have been shown experimentally not to occur in primates.
