- Toxicity Summary: Studies showed a low order of acute toxicity for MTMS. MTMS was slightly irritating to both eyes and skin in rabbits, and a weight of evidence assessment supports that MTMS is not a dermal sensitizer. In vitro and in vivo assays indicated MTMS has a low potential for genotoxicity. MTMS did not produce any changes in reproductive or developmental parameters in a rat study. In a 90-day inhalation study in rats, MTMS was associated with urinary bladder epithelial hyperplasia, calculi formation, and moderate kidney dilation with hyperplasia of the pelvic epithelium and granulomatous inflammation; however, an expert panel review concluded that changes in the bladder and kidney were adaptive responses to a physical or chemical irritant present within the urine and were not considered to represent a preneoplastic change.
