SENSITIZATION TO THE PRODUCT: The components of this product are not known to be human respiratory or skin sensitizers. REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INFORMATION: Listed below is information concerning the effects of this product and its components on the human reproductive system. Mutagenicity : In studies of involving the Urea component, an increased incidence of chromosomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges were observed in peripheral lymphocytes of 25 male agricultural workers occupationally exposed to urea, as well as several pesticides including DDT and organophosphates. It is not possible to draw any conclusions from this study due to the concurrent exposures. Urea was mutagenic in cultured human leukocytes, without metabolic activation. However, the authors concluded the effect may be a non-specific effect of high molarity on cell division, rather than a direct effect of urea. In another study, urea was not mutagenic in cultured human lymphocytes. In a poorly reported study, urea was mutagenic in mouse bone marrow cells in vivo. It has also produced mutations in cultured mammalian cells. Embryotoxicity : The components of this product are not reported to produce embryotoxic effects in humans. Teratogenicity : The components of this product are not reported to cause teratogenic effects in humans. Reproductive Toxicity : The components of this product are not reported to cause reproductive effects in humans. The Urea component has been shown to cross the placenta following subcutaneous injection and to be absorbed into the rat fetus. A mutagen is a chemical, which causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will propagate through generational lines. An embryotoxin is a chemical, which causes damage to a developing embryo (i.e. within the first eight weeks of pregnancy in humans), but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen is a chemical, which causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A reproductive toxin is any substance, which interferes in any way with the reproductive process. ACGIH BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES: Currently, there are no ACGIH Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) determined for the components of this product.
MOBILITY: This product has not been tested for mobility in soil. It is expected to be highly mobile as a fertilizer. The following information is available for some components. SODIUM BORATE: This material is adsorbed by mineral portion of soil and slowly leaches. Some boron is adsorbed by iron and aluminum hydroxy compounds and clay minerals. Finer textured soils retain added boron longer than do coarse, sandy soils. Boron sorption by clay minerals and iron and aluminum oxides is pH dependent, with maximum sorption in the range 7-9. The amount of boron adsorbed depends on the surface area of the clay or oxide and this sorption is only partially reversible. UREA: The adsorption of Urea was measured in six different British soils with organic carbon contents ranging from 1.76 to 36.5%. No adsorption was measurable in five of the soils. In a sixth soil (36.5% organic carbon), a Koc of 8 can be determined from the Freundlich isotherm. According to a classification scheme, this Koc value suggests that Urea is expected to have high mobility in soil. However, it has been reported that Urea can adsorb to humic acids by free-radical complexation. Complexed Urea may adsorb to soil more strongly than uncomplexed Urea. PERSISTENCE AND BIODEGRADABILITY: This product has not been tested for persistence or biodegradability. It is expected that some biodegradation will occur to this product; however, no specific information is known. The following information is available for some components. SODIUM BORATE: This material can persist 1 or more years, depending on soil type and rainfall. Less persistent in acid soils and in high rainfall areas. It leaches rapidly under high rainfall conditions. UREA: If released to air, a vapor pressure of 1.20X10-5 mm Hg at 25°C indicates Urea will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase Urea will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 9.6 hrs. Particulate-phase Urea will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. If released to soil, Urea is expected to have very high mobility based upon a Koc of 8. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.74X10-12 atm-cu m/mole. If released into water, Urea is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon its Koc. Biodegradation is expected to be the major fate process in the aquatic ecosystem. Various screening studies have demonstrated that Urea can biodegrade readily with the release of carbon dioxide and ammonia. In a river die-away test-conducted at 5°C, 1.05-2.20% of added Urea hydrolyzed after 10-days while only 0.35% hydrolyzed in sterile controls. Urea was completely biodegraded in aerobic biodegradation studies using activated sludge and a 14-day incubation period. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. Chemical hydrolysis is catalyzed by increasing temperatures, alkalinity, and especially the presence of the biological enzyme, Urease. BIO-ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL: This product has not been tested for bio-accumulation potential. The following information is available for some components. SODIUM BORATE: This material bio-accumulates in plants. In a greenhouse experiment with sandy loam soil treated with 0-8.0 ppm boron as borax, boron toxicity symptoms appeared earliest in lentil plants and barley seedlings exposed to 8.0 ppm boron. In barley the severity of boron toxicity decreased with the decrease in boron levels, whereas in lentil the severity of the symptoms eventually reached the same level in 2 and 4 ppm boron treatments as with the highest concentration. Dry matter yield decreased 38.6% in lentil and 23.4% in barley exposed to 8.0 ppm boron in comparison with controls. Boron contents of lentil and barley plants on soil treated with 8 ppm boron were approximately 7- and approximately 8-fold those of control plants, respectively. UREA: In a 6 to 72 hr bioaccumulation study using carp ( Cyprinus carpio ), the concentration of Urea was found to be equally distributed between tissue and water during all time periods; thus, the BCF would be 1 for this species. In 3-day static-system tests using golden ide fish (Leuciscus idus melanotus), the BCF of Urea was < 10. According to a classification scheme, these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. ECOTOXICITY: This product has not been tested for terrestrial aquatic or animal toxicity. This product is a fertilizer; release of large quantity to the environment may substantially alter the nutrient composition and adversely affect plant and animal life in terrestrial and aquatic environments. All accidental release to terrestrial, atmospheric and aquatic environments should be avoided. The following aquatic toxicity data is available for some components.
