Based on rat oral LD50 value = 616mg/kg (CERI Hazard Data, 2001), it was set as Category 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on rat percutaneous LD50 value = 16000mg/kg (Japan Society for Occupational Health recommendation, 1986), it was set as the outside of Category.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Classification not possible - - - - Liquid (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 - - - - There is description which suggests the possibility of skin irritations (HSFS, 1999). But there is no other information. Therefore, it cannot be classified because of insufficient data.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Although there is description (PATTY, 1994) which indicates very slightly irritating to the eyes in human. But there is no information in others including concrete case reports, and data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
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 - - - - No data available
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 1 (cardiovascular system, blood) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (cardiovascular system, blood) P307+P311: IF exposed: 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.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Due to the description that arrhythmia, hypotension, methaemoglobinaemia, and Heinz snug formation were observed in human exposures (in CERI Hazard Data (2001)), and that the blood-pressure decreased was observed in human exposure example (ACGIH (2001), PATTY (1994)). So it is considered that the target organs are cardiovascular systems and blood, therefore, it was classified into Category 1.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (cardiovascular system), Category 2 (blood) Danger
Warning
H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (cardiovascular system)
H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (blood)
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.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Due to the descriptions in ACGIH (2001), PATTY (1994), and industrial hygene academic society advice (1986) (CERI Hazard Data(2001) that attack like angina pectoris, hypotension, or arrhythmia were observed in humans exposure example, and that the mortality rate according to heart disease at exposure example is high (from ACGIH (2001) and PATTY (1994)), it is considered that target organ is cardiovascular system, and it was classified into Category 1. Furthermore, due to the description (CERI Hazard Data (2001)) that the Heinz body was observed by the six-month inhalation study of rats and guinea pigs by moderate exposures, it is considered that blood was also target organ and it was classified into Category 2.
