Danger | H330: Fatal 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.

It was considered as Category 1 based on the lower rat inhalation LC50 value (4hrs) = 40ppm (from the two-point data of 40ppm (ACGIH (2001)) and 50ppm (PATTY (5th, 2001)). |

| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 1A-1C |
|
Danger | H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage |
P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Based on the descriptions that it has skin stimulativeness on humans (HSDB (2006)) and skin corrosiveness especially (ICSC (1990)), it was classified as Category 1A-1C. Moreover, there is also a description of critical frostbite (ICSC (1990)). |

P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
In the effect to human, due to the descriptions that the irritation to respiratory organs, lung oedema, pneumonia, and the effec to bronchus are observed (ICSC and (1990), HSDB (2006) and PATTY (5th, 2001)), and that the inflammation of lung and lung oedema are desribed in the range of equivalent guidance dose of Category 1in the study using mouse (DFGOT Vol.4 (2000)). So it was classified into Category 1 (respiratory system). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory system, nervous system) |
|
Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (respiratory system, nervous system) |
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. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified to as Category 1 (the respiratory system, nervous system) based on the indication of the pulmonary edema by respiratory irritations with the given dose of guidance value within the limits of Category 1 in the test using a guinea pigs (ACGIH (2001)), and the indication of poisoning of a nervous system in human impact (ACGIH (2001)) . In addition, the headache, giddiness, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and irritation in lungs are indicated as the human impact (HSDB (2006)). |
