HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - Since there is no animal testing data, it cannot be classified. In EU, it is R22 (if it is swallowed, it is hazard).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - Since there is no animal data, it cannot be classified. However, in EU, it is R21 (it is toxicity when contacted with skin).
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 - - - - Since there is no animal data, it cannot classify. In EU, it is R20 (hazardous if it is inhaled).
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Category 2 Warning H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects 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 ...
Although the binding to the rat liver DNA was low for in vivo, it gave the positive result (HSDB (2003)), and each in vitro test results suggest mutagenicity (HSDB (2003), RTECS (2000)). Therefore we classified it as Category 2.
6 Carcinogenicity Category 2 Warning H351: Suspected of causing cancer 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 was set as 2 from 2B by IARC which is an evaluation organization. Carcinogenic properties in liver, eustachian tubes and mammary gland is acknowledged by oral, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal administration in rats (IARC 16 (1978)).
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (kidney) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (kidney) P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: 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.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It is classified into Category 2 by that the renal effects was regarded by the diet examination of the mouse in 4g/kg (equivalent: equivalent to 600mg/kg bw) (IARC 16 (1978)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 2 (kidney) Warning H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (kidney) 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 into Category 2 (kidney) according to the data of producing considerably serious glomerularnephritis (severe glomerulonephritis) and dying, in feeding 429mg/kg (equivalent to 43mg/kg, 21mg/kg) to rats (IARC 16 (1978)).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available on chemical pneumonia
