Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 4


Warning
H302 P301+P312
P264
P270
P330
P501
Based on reported LD50 values for rats of 545 mg/kg, 900 mg/kg (EHC 78 (1988)), 1,000 mg/kg (HSDB (Access on June 2017)), and 1,832 mg/kg (EHC 78 (1988)), it was classified in Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified
-
-
- - Based on a reported LD50 value of > 5,000 mg/kg for rats (HSDB (Access on June 2017)), it was classified as "Not classified."
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2


Warning
H315 P302+P352
P332+P313
P362+P364
P264
P280
P321
Based on a description that a product containing this substance showed irritation of human skin such as burns, rashes, itching, discoloration and redness of the skin, blister formation (EPA Pesticide (2009)), and a description that it was slightly irritating to rabbit skin (HSDB (Access on June 2017)), it was classified in Category 2. Based on the information obtained in this investigation, the category was revised.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there are descriptions that many agricultural chemicals of dithiocarbamate type showed eye irritation, and some part of agricultural chemicals of dithiocarbamate type (nabam (CAS RN 142-59-6), zineb (CAS RN 12122-67-7)) did not show eye irritation (both in EHC 78 (1988)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there is a description that some dithiocarbamate compounds cause sensitization (EHC 78 (1988)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no in vivo data. As for in vitro, it was positive in a bacterial reverse mutation test, and negative in a mammalian cell gene mutation test (HSDB (Access on June 2017)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there is a description in HSDB that this substance was classified as L (Likely to be carcinogenic to humans) by EPA in 2006 (HSDB (Access on June 2017)), but this substance has been already deleted from the list of classification for carcinogenicity of pesticides by EPA (Chemicals Evaluated for Carcinogenic Potential, Annual Cancer Report (2016)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (nervous system, systemic toxicity)


Warning
H371 P308+P311
P260
P264
P270
P405
P501
There is no data on single exposure to this substance in humans. As for experimental animals, there was a report that in a single oral administration test with rabbits, depression of the central nervous system, reduced tactile and sensory sensitivity, and decreased food consumption were observed at or above 500 mg/kg. All cases died within 24 hours at 1,000 mg/kg or 1,500 mg/kg. There were no deaths at 500 mg/kg. It is reported that although there was no description as to whether only dead animals were involved or surviving ones were included, visceral congestion, pulmonary edema, and hemorrhages of the gastric mucosa were observed at necropsy (HSDB (Access on June 2017)). The doses at which the effects were observed correspond to the guidance value range for Category 2. Among them, pulmonary edema may be a secondary effect, and because target organs other than the nervous system cannot be identified based on other symptoms, therefore, it was classified in Category 2 (nervous system, systemic toxicity).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (nervous system, systemic toxicity)


Warning
H373 P260
P314
P501
No information on humans is available.
As for experimental animals, there is a description that when rabbits were dosed at 100 mg/kg/day for 15 weeks (no description of administration route, within the guidance value range for Category 1 assuming an oral route), body weight gain was increased, and adynamia, changes in blood morphology, the nervous system, and cardiovascular system, and yellowing of the fur were observed (HSDB (Access on June 2017)).
From the above, it was classified in Category 2 (nervous system, systemic toxicity) because the rabbit data is from the information source in List 2, assuming that it is by an oral route.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 1


Warning
H400 P273
P391
P501
From 96-hour LC50 = 0.0027 mg/L for crustacea (Mysidopsis bahia) (NLM HSDB: 2005), it was classified in Category 1.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1


Warning
H410 P273
P391
P501
Chronic toxicity data were not obtained. Due to being not rapidly degradable (non-biodegradable, average degradation rate by BOD: 2% (J-CHECK, 1993)), and acute toxicity Category 1, it was classified in Category 1.
12 Hazardous to the ozone layer Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.
