Abstract
A single exposure to phenoxy herbicides is expected to produce nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness, dizziness, and unsteady gait. Rep eated exposure may affect the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and skeletal muscles. Several herbicides and pesticides that contain c hlorophenoxy acids are hematotoxic and may cause aplastic anemia, agra nulocytosis, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia.
