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 - - - - 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 - - - - Although there is no data of this substance itself, skin sensitization may be indicated to humans as an inorganic arsenic, but it is not a deterministic conclusion (ATSDR, 2005;HSG, 1992), in addition, it was presupposed that it cannot classify from the description in the humans of EHC 224 (2001) "development of the skin sensitization of inorganic arsenic is rare" since data is insufficient.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Without data. In addition, arsenic and inorganic arsenic compound are classified into the germ-cell mutagenicity category 3A (equivalent for GHS Category 1B-2) according to DFG (MAK/BAT, 2005).
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1A 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 ...
Since arsenic and arsenic compound are categorized into the human carcinogens in IARC Suppl.7 (1987), ACGIH-TLV (2004), and MAK/BAT (2004), it was classified into Category 1A.
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 ...
There is no data of this product, but in ACGIH (7th, 2001), ATSDR (draft, 2005), EHC 224 (2001), and DFGOT vol.21 (2005) there was an opposite report. Since the reproductive and developmental toxicity knowledge by inorganic arsenic was indicated in laboratory animals, it was considered as category 2.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, kidney, liver, respiratory system) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, kidney, liver, respiratory system) 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 ...
Although there are no data for this substance itself, it was classified as Category 1 (gastrointestinal system, cardio-vascular system, nervous system, kidneys, liver, respiratory system). Because of the reports in EHC 224 (2001) that in the forms of the arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds it causes "symptoms in the gastrointestinal organs, disorders in the functions of the cardio-vascular and nervous systems, myelosuppression, alteration in the blood system and nephropathy" in humans, and that it affects the liver, upper airways and lungs (ACGIH (7th, 2001)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, kidney, liver, blood system, skin, respiratory system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, kidney, liver, blood system, skin, 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 ...
Although there was no data of this product itself, the description in human of EHC 224 (2001) about arsenic and inorganic arsenics compounds "gastrointestinal tract disorder, neuropathy, effect on blood system, disorder of cardiovascular system, kidney and liver were observed. Target organ are gastrointestinal,heart,brains and kidney. Skin,marrow and peripheral nerves were also affected " and in addition, based on the description of effect on the upper respiratory tract and lungs (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), it was classified into Category 1 (digestive tract, cardiovascular systems, nervous systems, kidney, liver, blood systems, skin, respiratory system).
