Rat LD50 value: 1072mg/kg, 2000mg/kg and 2200mg/kg (IARC 65, 1996). Since the calculated value was 1187mg/kg, it was classified to category 4. | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Rabbit LD50 value : >20000mg/kg (HSDB, 2005), rat LD50 value: >1157mg/kg (IUCLID, 2000, BUA 41, 1989). So category could not be specified, it cannot be classified due to insufficient data. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | There is only a data with rat LC50 (4 hours) value: >157ppm (equivalent 0.879mg/L) in HSDB (2005), Category cannot be specified due to data insufficiency. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | The category cannot be specified by only data that rat LC50 (1 hour) value: >2.417mg/L (4-hour equivalent 0.6043mg/L) ( IUCLID (2000), BUA 41 (1989)). And data is insufficient, it cannot be classified. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | It was set as Category 3 from description that the skin was stimulated slightly (ICSC (J) (2000), HSDB (2005). |
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. |
Based on the description that the skin is stimulated slightly (ICSC (J), (2000), and HSDB (2005)), it was set as Category 2B. |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since there was a negative result with micronucleus test on rat and mouse red corpuscles which is an in vivo mutagenicity test using somatic cells (NTP DB, 2005), it was classified as out of Category. |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since it was classified into the group 3 (IARC 65, 1996) in IARC, it was considered as the outside of Category. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 | Warning | H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child |
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 classified into Category 2 based on the description that testicular dysfunction, such as low sperm count etc., and the female abnormalities of estrous cycle were observed at the dose causing general toxicity, such as a low value of weight etc., in the feeding oral administration tests using the rat and mouse (ACGIH (7th, 2001) and IARC 65 (1996)) . | |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 2 (blood) | Warning | H371: May cause damage to organs (blood) |
P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. 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. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was set as Category 2 (blood) from description in ICSC (J) (2000) that blood may be affected and methemoglobin may be produced. | |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 2 (immune system) | Warning | H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (immune system) |
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 ... |
Based on the description that in the oral study using the mouse, the effects on the immune systems were observed with the dosage in the Category 2 guidance value range (NTP DB (2005) and PATTY (4th, 1994)), it was classified into Category 2 (immune systems). | |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 2 | - | - | H401: Toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 2 from 48-hour EC50=7400microg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna), and others (AQUIRE, 2003). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 2 | - | H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Classified into Category 2, since acute toxicity was Category 2 and not rapidly degrading (BOD: 2% (existing chemical safety inspections data)), though less bio-accumulative (BCF=12 (existing chemical safety inspections data)). |
