HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
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 (oral route) value of 840mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified - - - - Based on the rat LD50 (dermal route) value of >5,000mg/kg (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is a solid according to the GHS criteria and inhalation of its gas is not expected.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - Classification cannot be determined, though the available rat inhalation study reported the LC50 value of >1.24mg/L (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - In the available rabbit skin irritation tests, the affected animals exhibited a Draize score of 0.2 at 1 hour after application, but all signs cleared up by 24 hours (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A Warning H319: Causes serious eye irritation P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.
P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Based on the evidence of moderate irritation observed in rabbit eye irritation tests (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - No skin sensitizing potential was found in guinea pig sensitization tests employing the Buehler method (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on negative data in in vitro reverse mutation tests and in vivo chromosome aberration tests on rat bone marrow cells (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - There was no evidence of treatment-related incidence of tumor formation observed in mouse carcinogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - Based on no evidence of adverse effects on parental reproduction and offspring development observed in rat 2-generation reproduction studies and rat/rabbit teratogenicity studies (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)).
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 ...
Based on the evidence from animal studies including "reduced locomotor activity," "abnormal gait," "prone position," "hypopnea," "lacrimation," "reddish tear," "exophthalmos" and "cyanosis" (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1989)). No target organs were identified from these findings. These effects were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 2 - - H401: Toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 2 from 48 hours LC50=6.7mg/L of the crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 2005).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 2 - H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Although acute toxicity was Category 2 and the bio-accumulation potential was low (log Kow=3.07(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), since there was no rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 21%(Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), it was classified into Category 2.
