1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 1 | Danger | H300: Fatal if swallowed |
P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P330: Rinse mouth. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the rat oral LD50 values : 2mg/kg (RTECS(2004), HSDB (2002)) and 3.7mg/kg (SITTIG (4th, 2002)), we adopted the value indicating the higher toxicity (LD50 = 2mg/kg), and classify the substance as Category 1. | |
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. |
Since there is a stimulate of "Moderate (moderately)" in Standard Draize Test in a rabbit (RTECS (2004)), and there was description that the human skin is stimulated (ICSC (J), (1997), HSDB (2002), SITTIG (4th, 2002), HSFS (1999)), it was set as category 2. | |
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. |
Since there was description that the human eye is stimulated (ICSC (J), (1997), SITTIG (4th, 2002), and HSFS (1999)), it was set as Category 2A-2B. In addition, the detailed categorization from this data is difficult. | |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Category 2 | Warning | H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects |
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 ... |
It was positive (RTECS (2004)) by the mouse bone marrow small core test, and it is classified into Category 2. In addition, negative result is reported by the Ames test of the in vitro genotoxicity study and the positivity is reported by the mouse lymphoma test (RTECS (2004)). | |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 1B | 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 ... |
Since embryo absorptions, fetus lethal, and skeletal abnormalities such as polymelia, were seen in pregnant rats/mouse (Catalogue of Teratogenic agent (2004) and RTECS (2004)), and EU risk phrases are "R61 and a category 2", and developmental was indicated in California EPA Prop 65 (2006), it was set as Category1B. | |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Althouh there is a report that symptoms, such as saliva oversecretion and excitement of the temporary central nerves accompanied by diarrhea and a tremor, were observed in oral administration experiment against rats, monkey and dogs (HSDB (2002)), it cannot be classified due to insufficient data such as unknown dose . |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 2 | - | - | H401: Toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 2 from 96-hour LC50=1400microg/L of fishes (Rainbow trout) (AQUIRE, 2003). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 2 | - | H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Classified into Category 2, since acute toxicity was Category 2 and not rapidly degrading (BOD: 1% (existing chemical safety inspections data)), though less bio-accumulative (BCF<2.8 (existing chemical safety inspections data)). |
