HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Since data was insufficient, we could not classify it.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - There was a negative result (EHC 202, 1998; IARC 32, 1983) by the chromosome aberration test using the hamster marrow cells, which are the in vivo mutagenicity tests using a somatic. So it carried out the outside of Category.
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1B Danger H350: May cause cancer 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 group 2B (IARC Suppl.7, 1987) in IARC, and B-2 (IRIS, 2005) in EPA in 1994. But it was classified into R (NTP RoC 11th, 2005) in NTP, category 2 (EU-Annex I, 2005) in EU, and A2 (ACGIH 7th, 2001) in ACGIH. So it was coansidered as Category 1B according to ACGIH which is recent report.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 4 - - H413: May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 4, supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), and bioaccumulative (log Kow=5.78 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), though no acute toxicity is reported within the saturated aqueous solution.
