Toxicity
Toxicity varies and is dependent on the active ingredient and the formula-
tion (e.g., emulsifieable concentrates, wettable powders). Iprobenfos have a
low oral LD
50
and is classified in Toxicity Category II (Warning), whereas
aluminum fosetyl (fosetyl-Al) is only slightly toxic and is classified in Toxic-
ity Category III.
