HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
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. Category 5 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: :4900mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: ACGIH 7th, 2001)
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Classification not possible - - - - 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.
From description that mild to moderate skin burn was acknowledged in the human acute evidence of exposure (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), it was judged as skin irritation and set as Category 2.
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.
We classified it as Category 2A-2B based on the description that it stimulated the eye a little (somewhat irritating) as effect on the human body (ACGIH (7th, 2001)).
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Although there is description that asthma was acknowledged in relation to occupational exposure in ACGIH (7th, 2001), in ACGIH (7th, 2001), ACGIH (7th, 2001) did not declare that it was clearly respiratory-organs sensitizing property because of the lack of sufficient data about sensitizing, therefore we presupposed that we could not classify it since data was insufficient.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Although we found a description that sensitizing property was acknowledged in the human acute exposure cases in ACGIH (7th, 2001), there were no epidemiology investigation reports and case reports which showed the development of allergic contact dermatitis, so we presupposed that we could not classify it for the insufficiency of data.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although ACGIH (7th, 2001) had statement that systemic toxicity is low as effect on humans, there was very little toxicological data and harmful cannot be classified from there being no statement which negates clearly.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Although ACGIH (7th, 2001) had statement that systemic toxicity is low as effect on human, there was very little toxicological data and there was no statement which denies the hazardousness cleary, therefore we presupposed that we could not classify it.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
