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 mouse LD50 (oral route) value of 700mg/kg representing the lower of the two testing data, 700mg/kg and 1,000mg/kg (EHC 202 (1998)). | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" 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 | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
4 | Skin sensitization | Category 1 (Photosensitization) | Warning | H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction (Photosensitization) |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P333+P313: If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P272: Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the description in the report on human epidemiological studies (PATTY (4th, 1999)): "Mild allergen," "photosensitizing to the skin," though the results of animal skin sensitization studies reported in EHC 202 (1998) suggest "no evidence of contact sensitization caused by phenanthrene." | |
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 and chromosome aberration tests), described in NTP DB (Access on June, 2006) and IARC 32 (1983). |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category D by EPA (1990) and Category 3 by IARC (1987). |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 1 | Warning | H400: Very toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 1 from 72 hours ErC50=0.64mg/L of the algae (Selenastrum) (MOE Eco-Toxicity Tests of Chemicals, 1997). | |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 1 | Warning | H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Since the acute toxicity was Category 1 and it had no rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 54% (Existing Chemicals Safety Check Data)), and it had the bio-accumulation (log Kow=4.46(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), it was classified into Category 1. |
