Category 2 because of "SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LC50 ; VALUE: 0.091-0.10 mg/L (4 h)" (JMPR 929, 1997)
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. From evaluation results of several rabbit skin irritation tests that "not a primary irritant" (JMPR 929 (1997)), "minimal irritation" (JMPR 929 (1997)) or "only slightly irritant" (PATTY (5th, 2001)), it was judged to have mild irritativeness and was classified as Category 3.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A-2B Warning H319: Causes serious 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.
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
In the eye irritation test using a rabbit, range is seen in decision, including "mild irritation" (PATTY (5th, 2001)), "recovered within ten days in irritation of moderate" (JMPR 929 (1997)), "damage is not disappeared by 21days after eye drop" (ACGIH (2001)), and "physical irritation rather than physiological irritation". However, since the description about the eye on ICSC (1998) was not referred to stimulativeness only the contracted pupil by inhalation, it was hard to consider that it had irreversible stimulativeness at least, and it was judged as mild to moderate stimulativeness. So it was taken as Category 2A-2B.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data
4 Skin sensitization Not classified - - - - It has been estimated in a skin sensitivity test using a guinea pigs(Maximization test) that erythema was identified in part but it was below the standard as a skin reactions and therefore no sensitization seems to exsist (JMPR 929 (1997).). Furthermore, since another information source states that no sensitization was identified(PATTY (5th, 2001), IUCLID (2000)), it was put outside of the Category.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified - - - - Based on the negative results (JMPR 300 (1974), PATTY (5th, 2001)) of the dominant lethality tests (in vivo over generation mutagenicity test) using the mouse, we classified it as Out Of Category.
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Besed on what is classified into A4 according to ACGIH (1996), it carried out the outside of category.
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 2 Warning H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child 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 ...
It is not observed bad effect on reproductive potential and fetal development and teratogenicity in rat two-generation test or each administration test during premating to pregnant and lacting period or organogenetic period (PATTY (5th, 2001), JMPR 929 (1997)). However, since it is observed of skeletal malformation (sternal fusion) in rabbit organogenetic period administration test with dose causing general toxicity to maternal animals (ACGIH (2001), PATTY (5th, 2001)), it is classified into Category 2.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (nervous system) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (nervous system) P307+P311: IF exposed: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Cholinergic symptoms such as contraction of muscles, spasm, impaired coordination, and laborious breathing have been reported by oral administration (dosage of a few mg/kg weight) to rats causing inhibition of the cholinesterase activities (JMPR 929 (1997)). It was set as Category 1(nervous systems) with reference to the guidance value. In addition, there is no direct information regarding humans and only report was the epidemiologic survey about organic phosphorus poisoning (HSDB (2005)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (nervous system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (nervous system) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Cholinergic syndrome (spasm of a muscular etc.) is observed in a rat and a dog by dosage more than several mg/kg weight, and simultaneously the remarkable decrease of red corpuscle cholinesterase (about 50% of inhibition rate) is accepted (JMPR 929 (1997), PATTY (5th, 2001)). They are the symptoms caused by overstimulation of the nerve fiber receptor with cholinesterase inhibition that is characteristic of an organophosphorus agent, and it was classified to as Category 1 (nervous systems), considering a guidance value.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Classified into Category 1, since acute toxicity was Category 1, supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), though supposed less bioaccumulative (log Kow=3.23(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
