1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 4 | Warning | H302: Harmful if swallowed |
P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the rat LD50 value of 1330 mg/kg (EHC 221 (2001)), the substance was classified into Category 4. | |
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 | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data were available. Irritation may be caused by contact to skin (HSDB (2003)), but there was not further information of details. |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data were available. Irritation may be caused by contact to eye (HSDB (2003)), but there was not further information of details. |
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 | - | - | - | - | Because no in vivo test data available, the classification was not possible. As relevant information, as for in vitro test, negative results in the Ames test were reported (Mutagenicity Test Data of Existing Chemical Substances based on the toxicity investigation system of the Industrial Safety and Health Law (1996)). |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 2 (systemic toxicity) | Warning | H371: May cause damage to organs (systemic toxicity) |
P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: 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. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
In rats and mice administered orally, the majority of deaths occurred within the first 48 hours. The clinical and physical signs of toxicity included miosis, conjunctivitis, decreased food consumption and body weight, hemorrhage in the tail and hematosis. In the survivors, these effects disappeared with time. The LD50 values of rats and mice were 1330 mg/kg and 1452 mg/kg, respectively (EHC 221 (2001)). Because of LD50 values corresponding to Category 2 and unspecified target organs, the classification was determined as Category 2 (systemic toxicity). | |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
