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 ... 		Category 4 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: VALUE:389mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS(2005)
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Category 5 - Warning H313: May be harmful in contact with skin P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. It was set as Category 5 based on rabbit LD50 value = 3160mg/kg (RTECS (2005)).
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 Warning H315: Causes skin irritation P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. 		There are descriptions which suggest severe skin irritations on humans (HSFS (2001), ICSC (J), and (2004)) and moderate irritation with 24 hour exposure in rabbit skin irritation test (RTECS (2005)). Therefore, it was classified as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1 Danger H318: Causes serious eye damage P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 		From description that strong stimulativeness, eye damage, a severe burn, and corrosiveness are indicated in humans (HSDB (2005), HSFS (2001), ICSC (J) (2004)), and from description that the moderate irritation is indicated by eye irritation test with a rabbit (comparing with the OECD Guidelines dosage is 1/5) (RTECS (2005)), it was judged that there was strong stimulative and critical lesional to an eye. So it was set as Category 1.
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 - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (respiratory system, systemic toxicity) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system, systemic toxicity) 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 description that it has respiratory irritation of the inhalation exposure (Priority 1, ACGIH (2001)), and since the possibilities of respiratory and systemic toxicity such as pulmonary edemas, salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, tachypnea, palpitation, abnormal heart rhythm, perspiration, and exhaustion are indicated by the exposure to the gas/steam of hydrogen sulfide and phosphoric acid generated from phosphorous pentasulphide by hydrolysis besides airway irritationin (Priority 2, HSDB (2005)). So it was set as Category 2.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
