健康ハザード
Nitrofen is moderately toxic by ingestionand inhalation of dusts. The lethal doses in cats from oral administration and inhalationof dusts are 300 mg/kg and 620 mg/m3/4h,respectively (NIOSH 1986). Bovine calvestreatedorally by 1.5 mL 25% nitrofen/kg produced toxic effects after 36–48 hours. Thesymptoms were increase in body temperature, depression, and progressive decrease inrespiration rate and pulse rate,similar to tribulin (Gupta and Singh 1985). An increase inthe activities of serum glutamic-oxaloacetictransaminase and glutamipyruvictransaminase was noted(Gupta and Singh 1984). Nitrofen has beenfound to cause cancer in animals. There issufficient evidence of its carcinogenicity inanimals (IARC). Oral administration in micecaused liver and lung cancers.

安全性プロファイル
Confirmed carcinogen
with experimental carcinogenic data. Poison
by ingestion. Moderately toxic by inhalation
and possibly other routes. Experimental
teratogenic and reproductive effects. A skin
and severe eye irritant. Mutation data
reported. A broad-spectrum herbicide. See
also NITRO COMPOUNDS of
AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS and
ETHERS. When heated to decomposition it
emits very toxic fumes of Cl and NOx.

職業ばく露
Nitrofen is a contact herbicide used
for pre-and post-emergency control of annual grasses and
broadleaf weeds on a variety of food and ornamental crops.
Occupational exposure to nitrofen, primarily through
inhalation and dermal contact may occur among workers
at production facilities. Field handlers of the herbicide
are subject to inhalation exposure during application
procedures.
-
発がん性
Nitrofen is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
