HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Not classified - - - - SPECIES: Rat (female and male); ENDPOINT: LD50; > 5000 mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: Agricultural Chemicals Registration Data (1973)
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Not classified - - - - Since both male and female are rat LD50 >5000mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1973).
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） Not classified - - - - Since a both sex rat LC50 was >5mg/L (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1990).
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 Classification not possible - - - - There is no in vivo test data and it cannot be classified. In addition, in an Ames test and chromosome aberration test of the in vitro test, it was negative (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1979, 1990).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - In the teratogenicity study using rat and rabbit, although effect was not seen (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1990, 1991), the effect on reproductive potential was not considered, and it cannot classify.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - In oral single administration tests in rats (4.94 - 10.25g/kg), black-ization of the internal organs which is inferred to be based on methemoglobin formation is observed in fatal cases (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1973), and in the inhalation exposure test (5.10mg/L) in rats for 4 hours, an irritant effect was observed in nasal anastomotic part and eyes (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data 1990), but it was presupposed that it cannot be classified due to the either unknown knowledge in the guidance value in Category 2 (respectively 300 - 2000mg/kg, 4 1.0-5.0mg/L /hours).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - In the 13-week, feeding oral administrations of toxicity studies with rats, although the toxicity, such as decrease of erythrocyte numbers and low hemoglobin levels was observed at doses of 10000 ppm or more, there was no sign of toxicity at doses of 2000 ppm (118mg/kg/day for male, 119mg/kg/day for female) or less, which is more than the guidance value (10-100mg/kg/day) of Category 2 (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 1974). The influence of other exposure paths is unknown and cannot be classified for lack of data.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） Not classified - - - - It carried out the outside of Category from 48-hour EC50>100mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 2004).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Not classified - - - - Since not water-insoluble (water solubility=1.00*105mg/L(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)) and acute toxicity is low.
