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 ... |
It was classified to as Category 2 (blood) because of the description that the effect was acknowledged in blood with the given dose of the guidance value range of Category 2 in the repeated oral administration test using rats of the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry reports (2005) and SIDS (2003). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 48-hour LC50=0.73mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (SIDS, 2003). |
| 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 ... |
Classified into Category 1, since acute toxicity was Category 1, not rapidly degrading (BOD: 0% (existing chemical safety inspections data)), though supposed less bioaccumulative (log Kow=1.4(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)). |
