HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not classified - - - - Since 4-hour exposure tests using rats (systemic) resulted in no mortality at the concentration of 1.0*10^6 mg/m3 (127969 ppm) (NICNAS (1996)), the substance was classified into "Not classified".
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)
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 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 ...
Based on positive results obtained from micronucleus tests using bone marrow cells of mice that underwent intraperitoneal or inhalation exposure (in vivo mutagenicity tests using somatic cells) (NICNAS (1996)), the substance was classified into Category 2. In addition, positive results were also obtained from in vitro mutagenicity tests (Ames tests).
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 - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - In 13-week inhalation tests using rats (administered for 2 hours / day and 5 days / week; doses: 2.0%, 4.0% or 8.0%), the lowest concentration applied, 20000 ppm (6-hour conversion value: 6666 ppm), was higher than the upper limit of Category 2 guidance values. At this concentration, necrosis of nasal turbinates in males, testicular atrophy and degeneration of spermatogonia, and an increased thyroglobulin in females were detected (NICNAS (1996)). However, since the effects of concentrations that are within the range of guidance values cannot be verified based upon this information, classification is not possible.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
