| Abstract/Contents: | "Sulfometuron methyl is a non-selective herbicide marketed as Oust. Extremely small amounts of this pesticide can damage plants and yet be undetectable by laboratory analysis of the plant tissues. It has both acute and chronic toxicity to animals. In laboratory animals it has caused eye and skin irritation, anemia, and has also reduced fertility in both males and females." Discusses the following about sulfometuron methyl: mode of action, acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, effects on reproduction, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, secret "inert" ingredients, effects on nontarget organisms, contamination of soil and water, drift, and resistance. |
