HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - Although there is the data of rat which LD>1g/kg (RTECS (2004)), it is an estimate in LD. Since there is no other data, and data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
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 - - - - No data available
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Category 2 Warning H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects 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 ...
There is no this product data. But it is supposed that a lead (inorganic lead compound) induces human chromosome aberration in ATSDR (draft, 2005), and it is classified with 3A as inorganic lead compounds in MAK/BAT (2004). So it is set as Category 2.
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 ...
IARC87 (2004) is equivalent to Category 1B (Group 2A) as a lead compounds, NTP RoC (11th, 2005) is equivalent to Category 1B-2 (Reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens), IRIS (1993), ACGIH-TLV (2004), and industrial hygene academic recommendation (2004) were equivalent to Category 2 (respectively B-2, A3, 2B). In view of safety, it was considered as Category 1B according to Group 2A of IARC87 (2004).
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 1A Danger H360: May damage 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 ...
Although there is no data of this product, in ACGIH-TLV (2004) of Priority 1 document, ATSDR (draft, 2005), etc., it is supposed that reproductive toxicity is indicated to humans in the lead (inorganic lead compound). This product is water solubles, and blood levels might become high by exposure. And it was considered as Category 1A according to expert opinion.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although there are reports of effects on the central nervous system in HSFS (1999), there are no supporting data, so the substance cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (central nervous system, blood, kidney) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (central nervous system, blood, kidney) 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 ACGIH-TLV (2004; Priority 1 document), it is supposed that it has effect on the central nervous system, blood, and the kidney in repeated exposure of lead and inorganic lead compounds. Since there was the similar description in HSFS (1999; Priority 2 document), we classified it into Category 1 (the central nervous system, blood, kidney).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
