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) value of 1,077mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1987)).
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 (dermal roue) value of >5,000mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1985)).
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a liquid according to the GHS criteria 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） Category 3 Danger H331: Toxic if inhaled P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P311: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Based on the rat LC50 (inhalation route) value of 0.8mg/L (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1991)).
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Based on the evidence of irritation reactions (Draize score of 1.7), with some improvement occurring during 72 hours of observation, observed in rabbit skin irritation tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1987)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on negative data in in vivo studies (mouse micronucleus tests and rat chromosome aberration tests) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1985, 1987)). The in vitro mutagenicity studies (chromosome aberration tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1985)) and reverse mutation tests in bacteria (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1987)) yielded weak positive results.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible in the absence of existing classification, though the substance was suspected of causing an increase in rat-specific tumor incidence in the available carcinogenicity studies in rats and mice (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1986, 1989)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - Based on no evidence of adverse effects on reproduction or offspring development observed in rat 3-generation reproduction studies and rat/mouse teratogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1987)).
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (nervous system) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (nervous 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 evidence from animal studies including tremors, piloerection, sedation, debility and convulsions (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1985)). These effects were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (liver) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Based on the evidence from animal studies including increased liver weights and hepatic tissue lesions (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1987)). These effects were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 72 hours EC50=0.39mg/L of the algae (Green Algae) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 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 ... 		Although acute toxicity is Category 1 and bio-accumulation is low (log Kow=3.37(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), since there was no rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), it was classified into Category 1.
