4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Although the case reports which suggests respiratory sensitizing property and allergic rhinitis for the human is mentioned in DFGOT/(Vol.14, 2000), we could not classify it because of insufficiency of data, for there were no other examples of such reports.

From description that there are incidence of renal impairment and airway mucosa irritation by acute exposure in the humans of industrial hygene academic society advice (1993), ACGIH (7th, 2001), and PATTY (4th, 1994). So it was set as Category 1 (kidney) and Category 3 (respiratory irritant).

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 ...
It was classified into Category 1 (kidney, respiratory organs) dueing to descriptions that respiratory disorders, such as chronic bronchitis, and a renal damage were observed in humans with the long-term occupational exposure (Japan Society for Occupational Health Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (1993), DFGOT vol.17 (2002), and PATTY (4th, 1994)).
