Hazardous Substances Data:427-51-0(Hazardous Substances Data)
Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic and teratogenic data. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Human reproductive effects by ingestion and possibly other routes: abnormal spermatogenesis, changes in the testes, epididymis, and sperm duct, impotence, and other paternal effects. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Used as a drug to arrest precocious puberty in children and hirsutism in women. A steroid. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl−.
