Danger | H330: Fatal if inhaled |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P284: Wear respiratory protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P320: Specific treatment is urgent （see ... on this label）. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was considered as Category 2 based on the description that the rat lethal concentration in 4-hour exposure is 300ppm (ACGIH 7th, 2001). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 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. |
It was set as Category 2 from description that the skin was stimulated (ICSC (J), (2000), HSDB (2005), HSFS (1999), SITTIG (4th, 2002)). |
| 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 descriptions that it stimulated the eyes (ICSC (J), (2000), HSDB (2005), HSFS (1999), and SITTIG (4th, 2002)). |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

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 ... |
There is a description in HSDB (2005) that the sperm loss in vas deferens was observed in the inhalation exposure test for 90 days using rats. And there is a description that embryonic mortality and malformation were observed by the dose in which general toxicity is not observed in dam animals in inhalation exposure tests using pregnant rats. However, only the descriptions that the denaturation of a tetis in single inhalation exposure using rats and the reduction of spermatogenesis in repetitive inhalation exposure were shown in ACGIH (7th, 2001) as information on Priority 1. Therefore, it was not able to be judged that there was specific reproductive toxicity from the information on Priority 1. Therefore, it was judged that there was not enough evidence to be classified into 1B, and it was classified into Category 2. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (testis, kidney, liver, thymus), Category 2 (respiratory system) |
|
Danger Warning |
H370: Causes damage to organs (testis, kidney, liver, thymus) H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory 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 ... P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
It was judged as Category 1 (spermary, kidney, liver, thymus) because of a description that damage to livers, kidneys, spermary, and thymi was confirmed through an inhalation exposure test using rats at concentration within the guidance value of Category 1 (ACGIH (7th, 2001)) . Moreover, it was judged as Category 2 (respiratory tracts) because of descriptions that airways can be stimulated and pulmonary edemas may be caused (ICSC(J) (2000), HSFS (1999), and SITTIG (4th, 2002)) . |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (testis, kidney, blood) |
|
Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (testis, kidney, blood) |
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 ... |
Based on the description that the influence on the teste, the renal function, and blood was observed with the concentration of the guidance value range of Category 1 in a 90-days inhalation exposure test using the rat and dog (ACGIH (7th, 2001)), it was classified into Category 1 (teste, kidney, blood). |
