| Toxicity: |
The oral LD50 is greater than 10,000 mg/kg in rats and 6000 mg/kg in mice. The acute dermal LD50 in both albino rabbits and albino rats is 10,000 mg/kg. In albino rabbits, 3 mg of chlorothalonil applied to the eyes caused mild irritation that subsided within 7 days of exposure.Chlorothalonil is slightly toxic to mammals, but it can cause severe eye and skin irritation in certain formulations.
