Based on the descriptions that it has severe irritation on dogs (HSDB (2005)) and that it causes severe burn (ICSC (1997)) or ulcer and burn difficult to recover (PATTY (5th, 2001)) was brought about on human skin, it was classified as Category 1A-1C. | |

With a dog, there is eyes severe irritation and severe ulcers is given rise to a cornea (HSDB (2005)). Furthermore, it is also a very strong stimulus in humans, ulcer of a cornea, and eternal eyesight loss were brought (HSDB (2005), ACGIH (2001), ICSC (1997)). So it was set as Category 1. | |

Based on the statement that serious respiratory irritation, breathing difficulty, a spasm in humans (PATTY (5th, 2001), HSDB (2005) , ICSC (1997)), and the views that the emphysema and pulmonary oedemas, etc. in rats (PATTY (5th, 2001)), it is classified into Category 1 (respiratory tracts). | |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (lung) | Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (lung) |
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 ... |
In the inhalation exposure test using dogs and rats, in addition to the symptom of respiratory disorder, congestion of lung, pulmonary edema and pneumonia etc. are observed as a pathologic findings (PATTY (5th, 2001), ACGIH (2001), RTECS (2004)). According to that and the amount of exposure was compared with the guidance value, it was classified into Category 1 (lungs). | |
