HEALTH EFFE CTS SUMMARY The following information presents both human experience and the results of scientific experiments used by qualified experts to assess the effects of Accord herbicide on the health of exposed individuals and to support the Precautionary Statements and Occupational Control Procedures recommended in this document. To avoid misunderstanding, the data provided in this section should be interpreted by individuals trained in evaluation of this type of information. Human Experience Inhalation and dermal contact are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to Accord herbicide. Occupational exposure to this material has not been reported to cause significant adverse human health effects. On the basis of available information, exposure to Accord herbicide is not expected to produce significant adverse human health effects when recommended safety precautions are followed. Toxicological Data Data from Monsanto studies with Accord herbicide and with Glyphosate, the active herbicidal ingredient of Accord, indicate the following: Oral LD (Rat): >5,000 mg /kg, Practically Nontoxic Dermal LD (Rabbit): >5,000 mg /kg, Practically Nontoxic Eye Irritation (Rabbit, 24 -hr.): Score = 0.0 on a scale of 11 0.o, Practically Nonirritating Skin Irritation (Rabbit, 24 -hr.): Score = 0.1 on a scale of 8.0, Practically Nonirritating Patch testing of guinea pigs with Accord herbicide produced no irritation following initial application; es- sentially no dermal responses were observed in the guinea pigs during subsequent repeated exposures in the induction phase. On challenge, animals did not exhibit a positive dermal response. Accord herbi- cide is not considered a dermal sensitizing agent in the guinea pig. z T, r ..J v D D C� C� O M C� O m (Health Effects Summary Continued On The Next Page) fi o n S on nto MATEriIAL SAFETY DATA Ace-a� Page 4 of 5 HEALTH EFFECTS SUMMARY (Continued) Toxicological Data (Continued): Solutions of Accord (0.8% v/v and 4.0% v/v) were applied to the intact and abraded skin of rabbits at a dosage of 2 ml/kg for 6 hours /day, 5 days /week for 3 weeks. Irritation of the skin at the site of applica- tion was apparent at all dose levels tested. Repeated dermal application did not produce systemic ef- fects as determined by hematology, clinical chemistry and histopathologic evaluations. In a 6 -month oral toxicity study, beagle dogs were administered Accord herbicide, at dosages of 10, 60 and 300 mg /kg /day. Slightly reduced body weight gains and increased alkaline phosphatase activities were observed in high -dose males. No other changes in histopathological, opthalmological, biochemical or clinical evaluations were noted. Glyphosate Glyphosate, the active herbicidal ingredient of Accord herbicide, has been tested in mutagenicity, teratogenicity, reproductive, acute, subchronic and chronic toxicity studies. For toxicity information on glyphosate. refer to the Glyphosate Technical Material Safety Data Sheet. 4 U _, �! cc O v Q H G 0 H LJ LL U Q LU E-- Additional Information A Threshold Limit Value (TLV) has been established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists for isopropylamine, a component of Accord herbicide.

HerDicide Bulletin Number 1 January 1983 Rodeo° Herbicide: Toxicological and Environmental Properties Summary Water is a vital necessity for all living things and protection of this essential resource is a major national concern. Ever increasing demands placed upon America's water supply make sound manage- ment of this critical resource essential if commercial and recreational needs are to be met. One of the most serious problems facing America's water resource managers is control of undesirable aquatic vegetation. The aquatic weed infestations in the U.S. are widespread and adversely effect water movement and availability. Aquatic weeds reduce property values, block shipping lanes and provide a breeding place for mosquitoes, rodents and other pests which carry diseases. They can impart an undesirable odor and color - to drinking water in reservoirs and markedly reduce water flow in crop irrigation canals and drainage ditches. In addition, aquatic weeds encourage flooding, decrease the holding capacity of lakes and ponds by causing more rapid silting, destroy fish habitats and interfere with recreational activities such as swimming, boating and fishing. Rodeo© herbicide, a broad spectrum aquatic herbi- cide by Monsanto, effectively controls emerged grasses and broadleaf weeds growing in or in close proximity to aquatic sites. Water resource managers can utilize Rodeo herbicide to markedly improve the quality and utility of our water resource without adversely effecting human health, wildlife or the environment. Introduction Aquatic plants growing out -of- control in or near water can be extremely detrimental to the commer- cial and recreational use of aquatic areas. Effective control of these plants dramatically improves the aquatic environment and thereby contributes to optimum commercial and recreational utilization of the water resource. There are various methods of aquatic vegetation management available and which method(s) is (are) selected is determined by the use of the water body, by available resources and by government regula- tions. Aquatic herbicides are among the most effec- tive and economical aquatic vegetation management tools. Mechanical harvesting, environmental changes (water level fluctuation, i.e. drawdown) and biological control methods provide alternative, although fre- quently less effective and more costly, approaches for managing undesirable aquatic vegetation. Rodeo herbicide by Monsanto provides effective broad spectrum control of emerged weeds growing in or adjacent to aquatic sites. Extensive scientific data firmly support an extremely favorable health and environmental assessment of this herbicide. Study results show that Rodeo is practically nontoxic to mammals, birds and aquatic species. It is rapidly and completely biodegraded into natural products and does not bioaccumulate in the food chain. He,^ce, when Rodeo herbicide is used according to lal?I directions, there is little likelihood of adverse health or environmental effects. Because of its efficacy and favorable toxicological and environmental properties, Rodeo may be used for weed control in all bodies of fresh water and in all types of aquatic sites. The purpose of this Bulletin is to provide a com- prehensive review of the extensive toxicological and environmental study data which demonstrate Chat Rodeo herbicide can be used to control aquatic weeds without adversely effecting human and animal health or the environment. Safety /Hazard Assessment Before any new herbicide can be marketed in the United States for control of undesirable vegetation. years of extensive testing and evaluation are required to define its potential impact on human health, wild- ti life and the environment. Factors evaluated in the safety/hazard assessment of Rodeo herbicide include: use rates; nature and degree of exposure to man, animals and the environment and acute (short term) toxicity. Factors evaluated in the safety/hazard assessment of glyphosate, include: environmental fate; degradation mechanism; potential for bioaccumulation in the food chain; and tests to assess acute effects and long term (chronic) adverse effects such as development of tumors, heritable mutations, birth defects, nerve damage and reproductive changes. Toxicological Evaluations Both Rodeo herbicide and glyphosate were evalu- ated in numerous toxicological tests with laboratory animals using concentrations at and far in excess of the normally anticipated exposure levels. Results of these tests define the toxicity of the herbicide. Using these data, an evaluation can be made of the likeli- L TABLE 2. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY DATA Rodeo" Herbicide: 96 hr.

LD = >100 pg/bee, practically Honeybee nontoxic Rodeo Herbicide Does Not Bioaccumulate Extensive studies were performed to evaluate the potential of the glyphosate to bioaccumulate in the food chain. The high water solubility and low lipid solubility of glyphosate indicate that it should not bio- accumulate and, in fact, experimental findings confirm that glyphosate does not bioaccumulate. There is minimal tissue retention and rapid elimina- tion of glyphosate residue from several animal species including mammals, birds and fish. The lack of retention in tissues and the rapid elimination of glyphosate from animals indicates that even in the event of repetitive exposures, glyphosate will not bioaccumulate in the body. Because glyphosate binds to soil particles very tightly and also because natural lakes, streams and other bodies of water are in constant movement, it is virtually impossible to achieve a glyphosate concen- tration in natural water systems sufficient to produce toxic levels or residues in fish. This conclusion is firmly supported by results of laboratory studies in which a variety of fresh water fish (catfish, trout, bass) were exposed for 10 -14 days to water contain- ing glyphosate at concentrations that were as much as 4 -times greater than the maximum instantaneous concentration at the water surface under normal use conditions. Analysis of the exposed fish showed that the bioconcentration values for glyphosate in tissues were insignificantly low (in the range of 0.1 -0.3) and that most of the small amount of glyphosate which could be detected was localized in the nonedible portions of the fish. These results confirm that glyphosate does not bioaccumulate in fish even after a prolonged, high level of glyphosate exposure. The potential for glyphosate to bioaccumulate was also evaluated using other animal species in addition to fish. When milk and eggs from cows and chickens fed diets containing glyphosate were analyzed, glyphosate residue was not detectable (i.e., less than 0.025 ppm). Feeding studies with chickens, cows and swine showed that ingestion of up to 75 ppm glyphosate resulted in nondetectable glyphosate residue levels (.e., less than 0.05 ppm) in muscle tissue and fat Results obtained in the various studies performed with mammals, birds and fish confirm that glyphosate will not bioaccumulate in the food chain. Rodeo Does Not Persist in the Environment Results of the environmental fate and laboratory studies show that glyphosate binds to soil particles very tightly and does not leach from soil. Under laboratory conditions, no detectable glyphosate was leached from soil contained in columns that were eluted with water continuously for 45 days. Microorganisms normally present in soil biode- grade glyphosate rapidly (average soil half -life = 60 days) and completely into natural products - carbon dioxide, nitrogen, phosphate and water. Microbial biodegradation of glyphosate proceeds under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Glyphosate does not photodegrade under laboratory conditions and photodegradation of glyphosate in the field is considered to be negligible. Loss of glyphosate due to chemical decomposition and volatilization is also considered to be negligible. The breakdown of glyphosate takes place primarily by microbial degradation. Soil and water micro- organisms are not harmed, however, because of participation in or as a result of glyphosate decom- position. Microorganisms in soil exposed to 5 ppm and 25 ppm of glyphosate, for example, showed no adverse effects in terms of nitrogen fixation, nitrifica- bon or degradation of protein, starch and leaf litter. The stability of glyphosate in water has been studied under both sterile and nonsterile conditions. As expected, glyphosate was found to be completely stable in sterile water since no microorganisms were present to degrade it and chemical degradation does not occur. Based on results of laboratory experi- ments, once bound to suspended soil particles or deposited in bottom soil, glyphosate dissipates rapidly from water (half-life= approximately 2 weeks). Water temperature, degree of water movement, water pH and the type of soil present in the water are among the key determining factors in the water half - life value obtained for glyphosate. For example, somewhat longer water half -life values have been reported for various nonflowing natural water systems, including: sphagnum bog (pH 4.23), 7 weeks; cattail swamp (pH 6.25), 9 weeks; and pond water (pH 7.33). 10 weeks. Ordinarily, however, natural water systems are constantly moving and glyphosate is rapidly dissipated from them by bc:h microbial degradation and dilution. Exposure/ Environmental Fate Review The potential for glyphosate exposure to humans and animals together with the environmental fate characteristics of glyphosate have been systematically evaluated. Results obtained in these investigations coupled with the relatively low inherent toxicity of glyphosate support the conclusion that Rodeo herbi- cide will not adversely effect humans, wildlife or the environment when used in accordance with label instructions. Glyphosate has a very low vapor pressure and does not volatilize. This desirable physical property eliminates the possibility of human and animal exposure due to glyphosate vaporizing from a site treated with Rodeo herbicide and then moving into nontarget areas. Exposure of humans, livestock and wildlife to glyphosate as a consequence of consump- tion of food is also very low because glyphosate does not bioaccumulate in the food chain. Using toxicological data, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established the human acceptable daily intake (ADI) value for glyphosate at 0.10 mg /kg body weight/day. This ADI value translates into a maximum pennissable intake (MPI) value of 6 mg glyphosate /day for the entire human life span. Based on this MPI value, it is essentially impossible for a person to consume the amount of glyphosate that would be necessary to cause adverse effects by drinking water or eating food (meat. Fish, fruits, vegetables, grain, milk, eggs, etc.) obtained from areas treated with Rodeo herbicide according to label instructions. Health and Environmental Conclusions Rodeo° herbicide is a postemergence herbicide developed by Monsanto for use in controlling unde- sirable vegetation growing in and adjacent to aquatic sites. Rodeo is an efficacious herbicide having excellent toxicological and environmental properties. When used according to label instructions, Rodeo will effectively control aquatic vegetation without adversely effecting human and animal health or the environment. Based on the massive body of scientific data developed by Monsanto and submitted to Bove ,-n - ment regulatory agencies, it can be concluded that when used in accordance with label instructions: • Rodeo is a highly effective aquatic herbicide. • Rodeo can be used to control weeds growing in and adjacent to all bodies of fresh water and all types of aquatic sites which contain flowing or nonflowing water. • Rodeo is practically nontoxic to mammals. birds and Fish following single exposures. Followina prolonged animal exposures, glyphosate does not cause tumors, heritable mutations, nerve damage or reproductive changes. • Rodeo is rapidly and completely biodegraded into natural products by microorganisms present in soil and water. • Rodeo does not persist in the environment. I • Rodeo does not bioaccumulate in the food chain. • Rodeo will control aquatic weeds without adversely effecting human health, wildlife or the environment. Written by E. J.

This evaluation also includes a determination of the environmental fate of the herbicide and an extrapolation of the data to estimate the safety/hazard to man. Short tern (acute) toxicological studies were per- formed at high dosage levels using Rodeo herbicide and glyphosate. These studies are designed to assess the response to a one -time chemical exposure. Results of oral and dermal toxicological tests are expressed as LD (50% lethal dose) values. The LD value is the calculated dose of test material (usually expressed as milligrams (mg) /kilogram (kg) of body weight) which will theoretically induce mor- tality in 50% of the test animals. Similarly, the LC (50% lethal concentration) is the concentration of test material (usually expressed as milligrams (mg)/ liter 0) of water) that will theoretically induce mortality in 50% of the test subjects. Eye and skin irritation studies are performed using rabbits. The test results are expressed as a numerical value (Federal Hazard- ous Substances Act (FHSA) Score) which is based on a scale that reflects an increasing degree of irritation and ranges from 0 (no effect level) to 110.0 (maximum irritation) for eye and 0 to 8.0 for skin. Results obtained in acute toxicological studies with Rodeo herbicide and glyphosate are shown in Table 1. The data (fable 1) clearly show that Rodeo herbicide is practically nontoxic following both oral (rat) and dermal (rabbit) exposure. Moreover, Rodeo is practically nonirritating to rabbit eves and skin. Similar studies (fable 1) carried out using glyphosate showed that glyphosate is practically nontoxic following oral (rat) and dermal (rabbit) exposure and is practically nonirritating to rabbit skin. Glyphosate is slightly irritating to rabbit eyes but the irritation observed is fully reversible and all treated eyes returned to normal appearance in less than one week after glyphosate exposure. The acute toxicological effects of exposure to Rodeo herbicide and glyphosate were also assessed using honeybees and various animal species normally found living in the environment. The results (fable 2) show that Rodeo herbicide is practically nontoxic to all aquatic species tested. Similarly, glyphosate is practically nontoxic to honeybees and to all aquatic species evaluated except for trout and atlantic oys- ter in which it was found to be slightly toxic. In actual application and use of Rodeo herbicide, it is highly improbable that the levels of glyphosate would ever approach the high concentrations used in laboratory testing conditions. Hence, with labeled use of Rodeo, it is very unlikely that the concentrations of glyphosate would ever reach levels that could be harmful to aquatic animal species. In addition to the acute toxicological studies, long term studies were carried out in order to determine the effects of prolonged glyphosate exposure. These TABLE 1.

Doses of glyphosate as high as 100 parts per million (ppm) incorporated into feed provided on a daily basis for the average lifetime of rodents (rat, 2 years; mouse, 1.5 years) and for two years to beagle dogs drd not cause tumor formation or other adverse effects in any of the treated animals. In a more recent lifetime chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study which was performed in compliance with 1978 Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (F1FRA) Guidelines, glyphosate was fed to rats at dosages up to 31 mg /kg body weight /day (equiva- lent to a dietary concentration of about 600 ppm in adult animals) and no adverse chronic or carcino- genic effects were observed- Results from these and other toxicological studies using various animal species demonstrate that glyphosate does not cause tumors, heritable mutations, nerve damage, birth defects or adverse reproductive changes. The combined results of the short term and long term toxicological studies firmly support the conclusion that Rodeo herbicide is practically nontoxic and will not adversely effect human or animal health when used in accordance with label directions. . . . . . . . . . . a 77 T - ----------- 41' A A _ II MINE 11 _M-� a mom on an 1 0 Molm --s
