How to deal with Glufosinate Ammonium poisoning

The Glufosinate ammonium is increasingly being chosen as herbicide due to its low toxicity, high safety performance and environmental friendliness. If this herbicide is accidentally ingested, what should we do?

According to various test results, the acute oral LD50 of ammonium salt in male rats is 2000mg/kg, and in female rats it is 1620mg/kg; the acute oral LD50 in male mice is 431mg/kg, and in female mice it is 16mg/kg; the acute oral LD50 in dogs is 200~400mg/kg. The acute dermal LD50 in male rats is 2000mg/kg, and in female rats it is 4000mg/kg. According to acute toxicity standards, it is classified as low or moderate toxicity. According to relevant literature, chronic toxicity also shows that glufosinate ammonium has no effect on reproduction, genetics, immunity, and teratogenesis.

When the human body ingests glufosinate ammonium , what kind of reactions will there be? After it enters the animal body orally, only 10%-20% can be absorbed by the human body, and most of it concentrates in the kidneys and liver. When the dose is low, it will not show strong symptoms. When the human body ingests a lot of it, it will inhibit the synthesis of brain glutamate enzyme, resulting in drowsiness, irritability, trembling, convulsions, salivation, body imbalance, and other nervous system symptoms. It will also show symptoms of nausea and vomiting. At this time, vomiting should be guided in time and then go to the doctor with the label.

If it splashes into the eyes or contaminates the skin during the medication process, it should be washed with flowing water for more than 5 minutes. If you need to see a doctor, you need to bring the label. If you accidentally inhale it, you should quickly leave the scene and go to a fresh air place and keep breathing smoothly.
