Based on guinea pig LC50 (1 hour): 300ppm (4 hour equivalent: 0.932mg/L) and guinea pig LC50 (4 hours): 95ppm (equivalent: 0.59mg/L) (ACGIH 7th, 2001 and Industrial Hygiene Society advice, 1993), the lower value was adopted. 95ppm (0.59mg/L) could be judged as the steam with almost no mist from vapor pressure, and classified as Category 1according to the ppm concentration standard.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 Warning H315: Causes skin irritation P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
It was classified as Category 2 from description that the skin is stimulated seriously (ICSC (J) (1997), HSFS (1999), and SITTIG (4th, 2002)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
It was set as Category 1 from description that severe eye damage was acknowledged in human occupation evidence of exposure of ACGIH (7th, 2001).

4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available

8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (respiratory system, kidney) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system, kidney) P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.

Due to the description that pulmonary edemas may be caused by inhalation in ICSC (J) (1997), HSFS (1999), and SITTIG (4th, 2002), it was classified into Category 2 (respiratory tracts). Moreover, due to the description that the renal effect was observed within the guidance value of Category 2 by oral administration in the rat in RTECS (2005). So it was classified into Category 2 (kidney).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (respiratory system, eye) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (respiratory system, eye) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Due to the description in ACGIH (7th, 2001) and Japan Society for Occupational Health Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (1993) that the effects on the respiratory and on the eyes tract was seen with the concentration of the guidance value range of Category 1 in the four-week inhalation exposure test using the rat, respiratory systems and eyes were considered as target organ and it was classified in Category 1. However, as for the the change of kidney, liver, a spleen, and a thymus indicated in Japan Society for Occupational Health Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (1993), since there was no statement in ACGIH (7th, 2001) though it was the same examination, they were not taken as target organ.
