In humans, it is classified into Category 3 (anesthetic actions) based on what central nerve inhibition, such as giddiness, hypesthesia, and headache, is seen (ICSC (J) (1998), HSDB (2005)). Since there was a statement (PATTY(5th, 2001) vol.6, ICSC (J) (1998), HSDB (2005)) of nasal and throat irritation, pharyngeal pain, etc. in humans, it is classified into Category 3 (respiratory irritation). | |
