Based on the evidence from animal studies: "like other organophosphorous agents, the substance induces tremor and lacrimation, leading eventually to tonic convulsion before death" (JMPR (1972)), "the liver injury was not only structural but also functional. Clinical symptoms include general depression, discoordination of movements, salivation, muscle disorder, tremor, bronchospasm, paresis, paralysis, and coma" (HSDB (2003)). The effects on experimental animals were observed at dosing levels within guidance value ranges for Categories 1 and 2.

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 LC50=100microg/L of the fish (Bluegill) (HSDB, 2004).
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 there was no rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), and since there wasbio-accumulation (log Kow=4.38 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), it was classified into Category 1.
