Industrial sanitation problems was set to Category 1 from description with it being the dermatitis by sensitizing (HSDB, 2003).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Since there was no in vivo mutagenicity test result, and data was insufficient, it cannot be classified. In addition, the in vitro mutagenicity test (Salmonella test) was negative (HSDB, 2003).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although there was description which may damage to the kidney, liver, and red corpuscles by high exposure (SITTIG, 2002; HSFS, 1987), it cannot be classified due to insufficient data.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although there was description that it might be a cause of damage to the kidney, liver, and red erythrocyte in repeated exposure (SITTIG, 2002), it could not be classified due to insufficient data.

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 3 - - H402: Harmful to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 3 from 96-hour LC50=66mg/L of fishes (Sumatran silverside) (HSDB, 2004).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 3 - - H412: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 3, since acute toxicity was Category 3 and supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), though supposed less bio-accumulative (log Kow=-1.4(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
