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 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.
Although there was no data about this product, fluoride irritaties to the eye in ACGIH-TLV(2005). So it was classified into Category 2A-2B. In addition, it is difficult to subdivide the Category.
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 - - - - No data. In addition, in ATSDR (draft, 2005), there is the description that lead induces chromosome aberration to humans, and the inorganic lead compound is classified into the germ cell mutagenicities 3A (equivalent to GHS Category 1B-2) according to MAK/BAT (2005).
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 ...
There is no data of this product. But as lead compounds, it corresponds to Category 1B (inorganic lead compounds, Group 2A) in IARC87 (2004), it corresponds to Category 1B-2(Reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens) in NTPRoC (11th, 2005), it corresponds to Category 2 (B-2, A3, 2B, respectively) in IRIS (1993), ACGIH-TLV (2005), and industrial hygene academic society advice (2005). According these results, It was classified into 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 was no this product data, in ACGIH-TLV (2005) and ATSDR (draft, 2005) which is Priority 1 documents, say that lead (inorganic lead compound) causes reproductive toxicity in humans. So it was set as Category 1A.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (central nervous system, blood, kidney), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) Danger
Warning
H370: Causes damage to organs (central nervous system, blood, kidney)
H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation)
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 ...
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.
Although there is no data about this product, since there is description that "almost the same symptom in acute effects and chronic effects are is observed" as human impact of inorganic lead compound in CERI Hazard Data 2001-9 (2001) of Priority 1 document, and in ACGIH-TLV (2005), inorganic lead compound has effect on the central nervous systems, blood, and renal, it was cosidered as Category 1 (a central nervous system, blood, kidney). Moreover, in ACGIH-TLV (2005), it is supposed that fluoride has respiratory irritant. It was considered as Category 3 (respiratory irritant).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (bone, central nervous system, blood, kidney) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (bone, 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 ...
Although there is no data of this product, since there is a description of the influence on a bone (fluorosis) of fluoride (ACGIH-TLV (2005) of Priority 1 document), and of the influence on a central nervous system, blood, and the kidney of an inorganic lead compound, it was classified into Category 1 (bone, central nervous system, blood, and kidney).
