Epidemiology: Subcutaneous, rat:TDLo = 3950 mg/kg/58W-I (Tumorigenic - equivocal tumorigenic agent by RTECS criteria - Tumorigenic - tumors at site of application).
Teratogenicity: Oral, rat: TDLo = 3 gm/kg (female 6-15 day(s) after conception) Effects on Embryo or Fetus - fetotoxicity (except death, e.g., stunted fetus)
Reproductive Effects: Oral, rat: TDLo = 3 gm/kg (female 6-15 day(s) after conception) Fertility - post-implantation mortality (e.g. dead and/or resorbed implants per total number of implants).; Subcutaneous, rat: TDLo = 5 mg/kg (female 1 day(s) pre-mating) Maternal Effects - ovaries, fallopian tubes.
Mutagenicity: Micronucleus Test: Intraperitoneal, mouse = 252 mg/kg.; Micronucleus Test: Oral, mouse = 504 mg/kg.; Cytogenetic Analysis: Intraperitoneal, mouse = 100 umol/kg.; Sister Chromatid Exchange: Hamster, Lung = 25 umol/L.; Cytogenetic Analysis: Hamster, Ovary = 100 mg/L.

Other Studies:

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Fish: Goldfish: LC50 = 18 mg/L; 48 Hr; UnspecifiedWater flea Daphnia: EC50 = 54 mg/L; 24 Hr; Unspecified Estimated Koc value = 3.2. This value indicates that pyrogallol will show very high soil mobility and will not adsorb to sediment or particulate matter in water. Volatilzation from moist or dry soils and water sources is not expected. Estimated BCF value = 0.37. This value suggests that bioconcentration of pyrogallol in aquatic organisms should be low.
Environmental: Pyrogallol exists primarily in that vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere and will be degraded by the reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals with a half-life of 1.9 hours.
Physical: No information available.
Other: Harmful to aquatic life in very low concentrations.
