Question

Which of the following has the potential of thyroid disruption properties in rodents?

• A. Atrazine
• B. Carbamate
• C. Triazole
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

• The disruption of the thyroid in rodents (mammals) is possible because of ingestion of any harmful chemical such as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. These chemicals disrupt the mechanism of the hormone action.
• Atrazine is a herbicide that is used to inhibit the growth of unwanted plant species.
• Carbamate is an insecticide that is used to kill insect pests.
• Triazole is a fungicide that is used to control fungal infections.

Hence, the correct answer is option D, i.e., all of the above.
