HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified - - - - It was set as the outside of Category based on that rat oral LD50 value (14063mg/kg (ATSDR (1995))) was 5000mg/kg or more.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - It became the Category 4 to outside of Category from rabbit percutaneous LD50 values (> 2000mg/kg, > 3750mg/kg (IUCLID (2000)). but it cannot be classified since it cannot be decided.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (room temperature)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - It is Category 3 - out of Category based on rat inhalation LC50 value (>5.2 mg/L (IUCLID (2000))), it was cannot be decided and so cannot be classified.
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.
The result obtained in 4 hour contact test of the agents on rabbit skin irritation with Draize's method (Draize score 4.8 (IUCLID (200)), it was classified as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes eye irritation P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
By a statement that an eye is stimulated by gasoline vapor exposures in humans(ACGIH (2001)) and based on not irritating in rabbit eye irritation test (ATSDR (1995)), it was set as Category 2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - Since a result that the guinea pig test proved no sensitization has been obtained[ ATSDR (1995) ].)., it was put ouyside of the Category.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - It gave negative in dominant lethality test using the mouse (IUCLID (2000)), and it also gave negative in the rat marrow cell in vivo chromosomal aberration test (IARC 45 (1989)). Therefore we classified it as Out Of Category based on the technical guideline.
6 Carcinogenicity Category 2 Warning H351: Suspected of causing cancer P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was set as 2 based on the carcinogenic segment A3 by ACGIH (1996).
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - Any significant reproductive toxicity has not been observed in the two generation reproduction studies with exposing for two weeks before mating to male/female rat and during pregnancy (IUCLID (2000)). Moreover, teratogenicity has not been observed in the teratogenicity test that followed OECD TG414 (IUCLID (2000)). Therefore, it was placed out of classification. [Special notes] In addition, increase in cleft palates and the number of survived litters has been observed in reproductive toxicity studies of mice, but this was the result at the highest dose with mother animals lethality reached 44%, while no statement of reproductive toxicity at any lower rate is found. Therefore, since the increase in cleft palates and fetal mortality is considered to have been caused of the toxicity against maternal animals, it is not used as referrence for this classification.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (lung, kidney), Category 3 (narcotic effects) Danger
Warning

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.
There is the description that the amount of the oral ingestion and the inhalation exposure in the high concentration in human causes pneumonitis (PATTY (5th, 2001)), disorders of kidney (ATSDR (1995)), and it is classified into Category 1 (respiratory tract, kidney). Moreover, it is classified into Category 3 (anaesthetic) by the description that there are a coma and anaesthetic by inhalation exposure to humans (PATTY (5th, 2001), ATSDR (1995)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (nervous system), Category 2 (blood vessels) Danger
Warning
H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (nervous system)
H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (blood vessels)
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.

It was classified to as Category 1 (nerve) based on the statement that C4-C7 hydrocarbon in gasoline may cause the sensitization of a cardiac muscle, acute central inhibition, and a respiratory insufficientry in humans (PATTY (5th, 2001)). It was classified to as Category 2 (vascular) because that vascular atrophy and a necrosis are observed in the rat long-term inhalation study (PATTY (5h, 2001)). In addition, the nephrotoxicity to the male rat observed in the repetitive atmospheric exposure test of the gasoline using a rat is a symptoms peculiar to a male rat, and it is not applied to humans. (IUCLID(2000))
10 Aspiration hazard Category 1 Danger H304: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P331: Do NOT induce vomiting.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Category 1 because of "human beings cause aspiration pneumonia by an oral ingestion of gasoline." (HSDB, 2004)

P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 3, since acute toxicity was Category 3 and rapid degradability and bioaccumulation potential are unknown.
