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 1,179mg/kg (PATTY (4th, 1999)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Due to the fact that the substance is "liquid" according to the GHS definition 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 - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Based on the description in the report on rabbit skin irritation tests (PATTY (4th, 1999)): "Slightly irritating."
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2B - Warning H320: Causes 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.
Based on the description in the report on rabbit eye irritation tests (PATTY (4th, 1999)): "Slightly irritating."
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - According to the description in HSDB (2002) of human health effects, a Maximization test showed no indication of sensitization in humans. However, classification is not possible, with only one set of data showing "negative" available.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on the absence of data on multi-generation mutagenicity tests and germ cell mutagenicity tests in vivo, and negative data on somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo (micronucleus tests), described in NTP DB (Access on May 2006).
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1B Danger H350: May cause cancer P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on expert judgment in the absence of existing classification, though NTP TR491 (2000) presents toxicity data and the substance is classified as Category R by NTP (2005).
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (liver, stomach, blood system, adrenal gland, submandibular gland) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver, stomach, blood system, adrenal gland, submandibular gland) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the evidence from animal studies including "hepatocellular hypertrophy, oval cell hyperplasia, bile duct hyperplasia (females), cystic degeneration, neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia and atrophy of the glandular stomach," "increased platelet counts; increased serum activities of alanine aminotransferase and sorbitol dehydrogenase indicative of hepatocellular lesions; increased incidences of adrenal gland cortical hypertrophy and/or cytoplasmic alteration in the submandibular gland occurred," "the incidences of lesions of the glandular stomach were increased" (NTP TR491 (2000)). The effects on experimental animals were observed at dosing levels within the guidance value ranges for Category 2.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 3 - - H402: Harmful to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 3 from 96 hours LC50=14mg/L of the fish (Oryzias Latipest) (MOE eco-toxicity tests of chemicals, 2003).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Since there was rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 89% (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)) and the bio-accumulation was low (log Kow=3.03 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), it was claasified into Not classified.
