Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified | - | - | - | On the basis of an LD50 value of 2953 mg/kg for rats (HSDB (2010)), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (Category 5 in UN GHS classification). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Not classified | - | - | - | On the basis of an LD50 value of 3667 mg/kg for rabbits (HSDB (2010)), it was classified as "Not classified" in JIS classification (Category 5 in UN GHS classification). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
Because the mild irritation reported in a standard Draize test in which 500 mg was applied to rabbit skins for 24 hours (RTECS (2010)) is the data from List 3 and unknown details, it was classified as "Classification not possible." Besides, it is classified in Xi; R38 in EU classification. |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | Because the mild irritation reported in a standard Draize test in which 100 mg was applied to rabbit eyes (RTECS (2010)) is the data from List 3 and unknown details, it was classified as "Classification not possible." |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
No data. Besides, it is classified in Xi; R43 in EU classification. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 1B |
H350 |
P308+P313 P201 P202 P281 P405 P501 |
Because it is classified in "L" in Carcinogen Assessment in EPA (EPA TRED (2006)), it is classified in Category 1B. Besides, increased incidence of lung tumors in male and female mice, histiocytic sarcoma in female mice, nasal epithelial tumors, and thyroid follicular cell adenomas in male and female rats were observed (EPA TRED (2006)). |
|
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
H361 |
P308+P313 P201 P202 P281 P405 P501 |
A slight decrease (about 20%) in litter size was observed in the highest dose group (5000 ppm; males 325 mg/kg/day, females 442 mg/kg/day) where general toxicity, such increased chronic nephritis, was observed in two-generation reproduction toxicity test in rats by dietary administration. Increased resorptions per dam and postimplantation loss were observed in the highest dose group (600 mg/kg/day) where general toxicity, such decreased weight gain, was observed in maternal animals in a developmental toxicity test in rats by the oral administration during an organogenetic period (IRIS (2002)). Therefore, it was classified in Category 2. Besides, an oral administration test in rabbits during an organogenetic period reported a decreased weight gain in maternal animals but no adverse effects on fetal development (IRIS (2002)). |

8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (kidney, testis), Category 2 (central nervous system) | Warning |
H372 H373 |
P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
Effects on kidney and testis were observed at doses equal to or higher than the upper limit (10 mg/kg/day) of a range of Category 1 in Guidance values in one-year feeding study in dogs. The kidney changes consisted of interstitial nephritis and chronic vasculitis, testicular toxicity consisted of atrophy, degeneration of seminiferous tubules, and hypospermia in the epididymis, and evident renal toxicity and testicular toxicity were described (IRIS (2002)). Therefore, it was classified in Category 1 (kidney, testis). Furthermore, neurologic effects such as abnormal head movements, stiffness and rigidity of the hindlimbs, ataxia, tremor, and depressed righting, hopping, and flexor reflexes accompanied by histopathological changes in the vermis cerebellum were observed at 50 mg/kg/day corresponding to Category 2 in Guidance values (IRIS (2002)), therefore, it was classified in Category 2 (central nervous system). Besides, decreases in hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count and increases in liver enzymes such as ALT and gamma-GTP were reported but were not used as bases for classification due to no accompanying histopathological changes. A two-year feeding study in mice also reported increased interstitial nephritis in the kidney in the highest dose group (750 mg/kg/day) (IRIS (2002)). |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 1 |
H400 |
P273 P391 P501 |
From 96-hour EC50 = 0.0034 mg/L for algae (Skeletonema costatum) (AQUIRE, 2012), it was classified in Category 1. | |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 1 |
H410 |
P273 P391 P501 |
Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. Due to lack of rapid degradability (BIOWIN), and acute toxicity Category 1, it was classified in Category 1. |

12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible | - | - | - | This substance is not listed in Annexes to the Montreal Protocol. |
