HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity （Oral）	Category 4		Warning	H302: Harmful if swallowed	P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) of 525mg/kg (RTECS (2004)).
1	Acute toxicity （Dermal）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases）	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected.
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Based on the description in HSDB (2003) suggests "skin irritation," but "classification not possible" is considered appropriate, given that the data are those of Priority 2.
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Based on the description in HSDB (2003) suggests "eye irritation," but "classification not possible" is considered appropriate, given that the data are those of Priority 2.
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Category 2		Warning	H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects	P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Based on the absence of data on germ cell multi-generation mutagenicity tests in vivo, germ cell mutagenicity tests in vivo, somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo, and germ cell genotoxicity tests in vivo, and the positive data on somatic cell genotoxicity tests in vivo, described in HSDB (2003), and the positive data on mutagenicity tests in vitro, described in RTECS (2005).
6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 2		Warning	H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child	P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Based on the description in HSDB (2003): Changes, though not organic, are observed in offspring at dosing levels toxic to dams.
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 2 (respiratory system)		Warning	H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system)	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. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Based on the human evidence including "the upper respiratory tract inflammation, rhinitis, pulmonary edema" (HSDB (2003)), "the upper respiratory tract inflammation" (ACGIH (7th, 2001)).
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available, refer to the GHS classification of diantimonytrioxide (CAS 1309-64-4).
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute）	Category 1		Warning	H400: Very toxic to aquatic life	P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	It was classified into Category 1 from 96 hours EC50=0.61mg/L of the algae (Selenastrum) (CERI Hazard Data, 2002).
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term）	Category 1		Warning	H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects	P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Since acute toxicity was Category 1 and it was a metallic compound, and since an underwater action and bio-accumulation were unknown, it was classified into Category 1.
