Category 4 based on SPECIES: Rat;female ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: 1400mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: HSDB (2003) | |
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 2 | Warning | H315: Causes skin irritation |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. |
From description that shows "the skin reddening/hurts and the skin is stimulated" (ICSC, 1994;HSFS, 2003), and description that "the zinc salts of strong acids indicates skin corrosivity" (PIM G020 (Poisons Information Monographs, WHO/IPCS), 1994), it was set as category 2. | |
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. |
Due to the description that "it irritates to the eye, causes redness, pain and bleary eyes" (ICSC, 1994;HSFS, 2003), it has slight irritation. Therefore, it was classified into Category 2B. |

4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although it is categorized as zinc compounds into I in IRIS (2005) (corresponding to outer Category) , due to insufficient data, it cannot be classified. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation) | Warning | H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
The substance was classified as Category 3 (airway irritant) because of the reports of airway irritant properties in Priority 2 documents (ICSC, 1994; HSFS, 2003). | |
