| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), "a widely used member of the phenoxy family." Discusses "2,4-D's effects on reproduction, its carcinogenicity, its effects on the endocrine and immune systems, and the toxicology of contaminants and 'inert' ingredients in 2,4-D products." States that "evidence that exposure to 2,4-D can adversely affect reproductive function comes from studies of male farmers." Discusses gender differences in susceptibility to 2,4-D, stating that "in rats, females are not able to rid the body of 2,4-D as quickly as are males, leading to higher concentrations of 2,4-D in females. In hamsters, the reverse is true." Also discusses carcinogenicity and several "studies which have found an association between 2,4-D exposure and NHL [non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]." Describes endocrine disruption, potential effects on the immune system, and contaminants. Discusses the toxicology of inerts in 2,4-D products, including diethanolamine, dimethylamine, and ethanolamine. |
