It was set as Category 3 from rabbit dermal LD50 = 430mg/kg (RTECS (2004)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Category 4 Warning H332: Harmful if inhaled P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.

Based on LC50 (4hr) = 19mg/L which is a converted value for 4 hours of rat inhalation LC50 (1hr) = 39mg/L, it was classified as Category 4. In addition, the saturated concentration of this product is 5.7*10~5ppm (equivalent value: 1550mg/L), and it is presumed that this experiment was conducted with steam.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available

Since there is the description that this product stimulates the eyes (PATTY(5th, 2001); ICSC(J) (1996); SITTIG(4th, 2002); HSDB(2005); HSFS (1999)), it was set as Category 2A-2B. [Indications] in the case that subdividing are necessary, it is more desirable to make it Category 2A from the viewpoint of safety.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Since there is no specific data for the description about this substance that skin allergy and contact dermatitis are caused (PATTY(5th, 2001);SITTIG(4th, 2002);HSFS (1999)) , it cannot be classified due to insufficiency of data.

Since this substance had description that mucosa and an respiratory irritation (PATTY (5th, 2001); ICSC(J) (1996); SITTIG (4th, 2002)), it is classified into Category 3 (respiratory irritation).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (liver, kidney) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver, kidney) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.

The effect on liver (slight cloudy swelling near lobule) and the kidney (opacity vacuolar degeneration of a kidney nephric tubule epithelium) was observed as a result of the inhalation experiment to the rat in the document of Priority 1(ACGIH(7th, 2001)-ATTY (5th, 2001)). If the conditions of this experiment(for 500 ppm / 7 h/day, and 53 35 times / days) is coverted to compare with a guidance value (mg/L/6 h/day, 90 days), average concentration dose serves as 0.45 mg/L/6 h/day, and it is in the range of Category 2 in a guidance value. (In addition, the concentration of saturated solution of the this product was about 574000 ppm, and since it was presumed that the inhalation experiments by 500 ppm was conducted with steam.), it was classidfied into Category 2 (liver, kidney).
