Poison by ingestion. Moderately toxic by skin contact. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic, tumorigenic, and teratogenic data. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. A highly toxic chlorinated phenoxy acid herbicide that is rapidly excreted after ingestion. Readily absorbed by inhalation and ingestion routes, slowly by skin contact. Signs of intoxication include weakness, lethargy, anorexia, diarrhea, ventricular fibrillation and/or cardiac arrest, and death. The teratogenicity is due in part to 2,3,7,8-TCDD, which is present as a contaminant (ARENAA 17,123,72). When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl⁻.

 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) , a synthetic auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s and was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out, starting in the late 1970s due to toxicity concerns. Agent Orange, a defoliant used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War, was equal parts 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid is a weak acid. Reacts with organic and inorganic bases to form water-soluble salts and with alcohols to form esters. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. Can corrode metals, especially if moist. May harm painted surfaces .
