Based on the description that on contacting vapor or liquid, it hurts and causes burn and deep seated pain, and if prolonged, heat injury (ACGIH (2001)), and since it is designated to U.N. classification subsidiary risks class 8, it was classified as Category 1A-1C. Sub-categories cannot be classified. |

At inhalation exposure, the serious lung damage (fibroid lung, emphysema, atelectasis, bronchitis), dyspnea (ACGIH (2001)), pulmonary oedema (ICSC (2000)), bronchial spasms, pulmonary hemorrhage, burn injury of upper respiratory tract (laryngeal, an respiratory tract, bronchus) (HSDB (2005)) is occured and it was set as Category 1 (respiratory-organs system). And there is a publication that ionic balance disturbance in blood, the abnormalities in a cardiac rhythmic movement by inhalation, oral, and percutaneous exposure (HSDB (2005)), and it is classified into Category 2 (whole body toxicity) from it being priority 2. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 2 (tooth, bone, blood) |
|
Warning | H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (tooth, bone, blood) |
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
There are a statement of anemia, leukopenia, dental decolorization, and osteosclerosis (HSDB (2005)) by chronic exposure, and it being priority2, so it was classified into Category 2 (teeth,bones,blood). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Category 2 |
|
Warning | H305: May be harmful 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 2 because of "possible to cause chemical pneumonia"(HSDB, 2005) |
