P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 1800 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: PATTY (4th, 1994), ACGIH (7th, 2001) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | All six cases had died within 48 hours by dermal administration of 2g/kg to rabbits(HSDB, 2005). And it was judged less than Category 4. But LD50 cannot be presumed, it cannot be classified due to insufficient data. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 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. |
Since it was indicated that the effect which suggested the stimulativeness of degrees from very mild to moderate was admitted as a result of the skin irritation study in a rabbit on PATTY (4th, 1994), it was judged with Category 2. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H318: Causes serious eye damage |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
Since it was indicated that there are irritation and lasting damage in the corneal (PATTY (4th, 1994)), it was set as Category 1. |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (liver, kidney, respiratory system), Category 2 (nervous system), Category 3 (narcotic effects) |
|
Danger Warning |
H370: Causes damage to organs (liver, kidney, respiratory system) H371: May cause damage to organs (nervous system) H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects) |
P307+P311: IF exposed: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.

P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 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. |
As the influence on people, from description with the obstacle to hepatic and the kidney (ACGIH, 7 th (2001), HSDB (2005), SITTIG (2002)), lung obstacles such as pulmonaly edemas (ACGIH, 7th (2001), SITTIG (2002)), and respiratory irritant (ACGIH, 7th (2001), SITTIG (2002), HSFS (1998)), and it was set as Category 1(hepatic, kidney, respiratory organs). Moreover, it was set as Category 2 (nervous systems) from statement which has the effects on the nervous systems (HSDB (2005), SITTIG (2002)). In addition, it was set as Category 3 (anesthetic actions) from description which causes unconsciousness by high concentration (HSDB (2005), SITTIG (2002)). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (liver), Category 2 (respiratory system) |
|
Danger Warning |
H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver) H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (respiratory system) |
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 descriptions that a liver damages is occured in chronic exposure to humans (ACGIH and (7th, 2001), HSFS (1998), SITTIG (4th, 2002), and HSDB (2005)), and that in six-month repeated inhalation exposure to rats, fatty degenerations was observed in liver by the exposure concentration of the guidance value range of Category 1 (PATTY (4th, 1994), ACGIH (7th, 2001)), target organ was judged to be liver, and it was classified into Category 1. Besides eyes and upper respiratory mucosal irritation having beenobserved by four-month repeated exposure of fume (0.07 to 7.4 ppm) to rats (ACGIH / (7th, 2001) and other), symptom in accordance with the stimulativeness to lungs and bronchitis was observed in repeated exposure to humans (HSFS, 1998), judging respiratory tracts also to be target organ, and were classified into Category 2. |
