|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 5 | - | Warning | H303: May be harmful if swallowed | P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. | SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 3311 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS (2004) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 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 2 |
|
Warning | H315: Causes skin irritation |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. |
There was a description "mild irritation" on human skin with intermittent application for three days (RTECS (2004)). Moreover, in the examination that investigated therapeutic effects of topical applications for four weeks on 12 symptomatic sweating sickness patients, three out of four patients who had irritations symptom disappeared one week afterward with continued treatment. But the remaining of one person had serious symptom and the medication was terminated (PubMED/NLM (2005)). From what stated above, it was thought to have irritativeness to the skin and was classified as Category 2. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | There is a description that it was observed that no dameging to implantation of pregnant mouse but effect on fetal development, increased incidences of fetal internal bleeding and delayed ossification (HSDB (2005)). However, the administration route in this examination was via intravenous injection, and so it is difficult to have a clear judgement based on the limited information obtained and whether the reproductive potential of parent animals were affected or not is unknown. Based on the above-mentioned, it was deemed unable to be classified due to the insufficiency of data. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 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 96-hour LC50=0.075mg Al/L (aluminium chloride hexahydrate concentration equivalent: 0.671mg/L) of fishes (Atlantic salmon) (EHC194, 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 ... |
Classified into Category 1, since acute toxicity was Category 1, and it is a metallic compound, behavior in water and bioaccumulative potential are unknown. |
