HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) - - - - - -
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - As suggested in public comments, the lung injury observed in a dermal study of rabbits was caused by swallowing of forage particles and entry into the airway by rabbits, and it is thought that it was not a direct dermal impact. Therefore, it is classified from a dermal study of rats without adopting the above dermal study of rabbits as the GHS classification. Since there is no mortality even in LD50: >2,000 (mg/kg) and 8,000 mg/kg of rats, it was classified into "Not classified".
