Based on the descriptions that respiratory irritant, corrosion of the respiratory tract, and the obstacle of pulmonaries (the congestion of pulmonaries, pulmonary edemas, pneumonia) in humans (ICSC (J) (1993), HSDB (2005), RTECS (2005)), it was classified into Category 2 (respiratory systems). It was classified into Category 2 (cardiovascular system) based on that the cardiovascular systems disorders (a cardiomyopathy, a circulatory shock) are described in human (HSDB (2005)). Based on the destription that the effect to nervous system in human (hyporeflexia, drowsiness, syncope, blood-pressure decreased, hyperpnea and respiration depressed) (ICSC (J) (1993), HSDB (2005)), it was classified into Category 3 (anesthetic action).

Nephrotoxicity, pneumonia, and stimulative of respiratory organs in a rat with the amount of administration of Category 1 guidance value range (50 ppm / 6h/(day)) are indicated (ACGIH (2001)). Nephrotoxicity, nasal mucosas/gums bleeding, decreased lung function, osteosclerosis, bone fragility, enamel dissolution and fluoride deposit are indicated in humans (ICSC (J), (1993), IUCLID (2000), HSDB (2005)) . It was classified in Category 1 (kidney, respiratory system) and Category 2 (bones,tooth) based on these statements.
10 Aspiration hazard Not applicable - - - - Gas (GHS definition)

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 48-hour EC50=21.3mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (IUCLID, 2000).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 3 - - H412: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 3, since acute toxicity was Category 3, and behavior in water and bioaccumulative potential are unknown.
