HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not applicable - - - - Since there is no suitable liquid solvent, oral administration is impossible.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - There is no examination data. But based on the information that there is no skin irritation (DFGOTvol9. (1998)), it was classified as out of Category.
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 Classification not possible - - - - It gave a negative result in the in vitro examination (ACGIH (2001)). However, we found no valid in vivo data, therefore we could not classify it.
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Since it was A4 in ACGIH which is an evaluation organization, it carried out the outside of Category.
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 1A Danger H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.

P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It is classified into the Category 1A because natural abortion by insufflations increased in the case of the female workers working in the dental clinics (ACGIH (2001)). An animal experiments in rat shows embryotoxicity, the ferotoxity and the skeltal malformation.
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 ...
There is anesthetic action with the case of animals and humans (DFGOT vol.9 (1998)), it is classified into Category 3.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (blood, nervous system, liver, kidney) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (blood, nervous system, liver, kidney) 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 ...
Based on the information that there is a disease of a hematopoietic system and the information that the obstacle to liver, the kidney, and a nervous system appears by occupational exposure when used with dentist as an anesthetic drug in human cases, it was classified to as Category 1 (blood, a nervous system, liver, kidney) (ACGIH (2001))
