HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 a 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 - - - - Classification not possible due to the insufficiency of data.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 on multi-generation mutagenicity tests (dominant lethal tests) and mutagenicity tests in vivo (micronucleus tests), described in IRIS (2002).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category C by EPA (1993).
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (liver, blood system) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver, blood system) 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 "centrilobular hypertrophy and vacuolation of hepatocytes, focal cystic degeneration of hepatocytes, and diffuse distribution of fat deposits in liver" (IRIS (1987)), "a significant methemoglobin reduction" (JMPR (1986)). The effects on experimental animals were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2.
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) Not classified - - - - Since a potential that relevant toxicity was discovered in the water solubility (1mg/L(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)) of this substance cannot be denied from 96-hour LC50>10000ppb of the fish (Rainbow Trout) (AQUIRE, 2003), it was classified into Not classified.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Although it is water-insolubility and acute toxicity was not reported within the aqueous solubility concentrations and there was no rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), since the bio-accumulation (log Kow=3.1 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)) was low, it was classified into Not classified.
