P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the rat LD50 (dermal route) value of 1,500mg/kg (RTECS (2006)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a solid according to the GHS criteria and inhalation of its gas is not expected.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/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 Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Group 3 by IARC Suppl 7 (1987).
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Narcotic effects) Warning H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects) 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.
P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the evidence from animal studies including "somnolency (general suppression of activity)" (RTECS (2006)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to the insufficiency of data.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

It was classified into Category 1 from 48 hours EC50=1.9ppb of the crustacea (Daphnia magna) (AQUIRE, 2003).
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 was Category 1 and bio-accumulation was low (BCF=62 of (Z)-2-chloro-1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)vinyl dimethyl phosphate; tetrachlorvinphos (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), and there was no rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD of (Z)-2-chloro-1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)vinyl dimethyl phosphate; tetrachlorvinphos: 0% (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), it was classified into Category 1.
