The three LD50 values for rats of 1790 mg/kg, 3000 mg/kg and 2.2 mL/kg (1848 mg/kg) were reported (PATTY, 5th (2001)). Two of them corresponded to Category 4, the substance was classified as Category 4. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on the LD50 values obtained from three tests using rabbits which are all > 2000 mg/kg (PATTY, 5th (2001)), the substance was classified as "Not classified" in the JIS classification (corresponding to Category 5 or "Not classified" in the UN-GHS classification). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Category 4 |

Based on the two LC50 values for rats of approximately 7300 ppm/4hrs and 8170 ppm/4hrs (PATTY, 5th (2001)), the substance was classified as Category 4. Since the test was carried out at the concentration of less than 90% of the saturated vapor pressure concentration (182368 ppm), the criterion values for gas were adopted. |

There was a report stating that contact with the liquid or vapor of the substance might irritate mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, acute respiratory effects were noted by exposure to this substance (impurity and degradation product of Mocap) in a potato field treated with the pesticide ethoprop (Mocap) (PATTY, 5th (2001)). There is additional information describing that sign of respiratory irritation were observed during exposure in the acute inhalation study in rats (PATTY, 5th (2001)). Based on these findings, the substance was classified as Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). In addition, clinical signs which were reported in rats exposed to the high concentration over the range of the guidance values (25.44 mg/L, 8170 ppm) were as follows: depressed activity, ataxia, tremor and labored respiration (PATTY, 5th (2001)). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |

|
Warning | H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
