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 Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. There is no data of this product. But the water-soluble barium compounds are supposed to indicate skin irritation (ACGIH-TLV (2006)). Since there is description that each of barium (107 EHC (J), 1990) and cyanide (61 CICAD (J), 2004) indicate mild skin irritations, it was set to Category 3.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A-2B Warning H319: Causes serious 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.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
There is no this product data. But in ACGIH-TLV (2006), the water-soluble barium compounds irritates to the eye. There are the descriptions that barium (107 EHC (J), 1990) shows severe eye irritation, cyanide (61 CICAD (J), 2004) shows slight eye irritation, and platinum compound (125 EHC (J), 1991) shows eye irritation. From the above information, it is difficult to be subdivide, and it was classified into Category 2A-2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Category 1 Danger H334: May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled P304+P341: IF INHALED: If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P342+P311: If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P285: In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Although there was no data for this substance, water-soluble platinum salt was classified as Category 1 according to Japan Society for Occupational Health advice (2005). Since platinum was indicated as the respiratory allergic substance by the Japanese Society of Occupational Allergy meeting, we classified it to be Category 1.
4 Skin sensitization Category 1 Warning H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Although there is no data of this substance, water-soluble platinum salt is classified into 1 according to Association of Industrial Health (2005). Since platinum was used as the skin sensitization by the Japanese Society of Occupational Allergy, it was set to Category 1.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Without data. In addition, in CICAD (J)61 (2004) and PIM G003 (WHO/ICPS, 1997), it is supposed that there is no mutagenic in a cyanide.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - There is no data about this product. A water-soluble barium compounds (ACGIH-TLV, 2006) are equivalent to out of Category (A4), but the carcinogenicity evaluation of platinum salts is not sufficient (EHC (J), 125, 1991). So it cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - There is no this product data, and although the description that "cyanide induces adverse effect against development only by the given dose or concentration which has toxicity in dam clearly" exists in CICAD (J) 61(2004). Since data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (cardiovascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, skeletal muscle) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (cardiovascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, skeletal muscle) 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.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
There are no data for this substance. But the cardio-vascular system, respiratory system and central nervous system are listed as the target organs of the acute toxicity of the cyanide (CICAD (J), 61, 2004), and the cardio-vascular system and skeletal muscle as the target organs of the aqueous barium compound (possibly the effect of hypokalemia). The substance was classified as Category 1 (cardio-vascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, skeletal muscle) because each source reference is a Priority 1 document.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (central nervous system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (central nervous 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 ...
Although there was no data about this product, we classified it into Category 1(central nervous system) based on the description that repeated exposure of cyanide affects the central nervous systems (CICAD(J)61 (2004; Priority 1 document)).
