Does MAGNACIDE H Herbicide have any long term effects on people or the environment?
When properly applied, MAGNACIDE H Herbicide does not have any adverse long term effects on people or the environment. Baker Hughes has supported and maintained the EPA registration for over 30 years. We have conducted many studies on this chemical, including lifetime studies of its carcinogenic and oncogenic potential. These studies revealed that the daily exposure to acrolein over the life of the animal models did not result in carcinogenicity. As mentioned above, acrolein is a very reactive chemical. Whether in contact with air, water or soil, it degrades very quickly. The degradation process in both water and soil proceeds ultimately to carbon dioxide and water.
