1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 4 | Warning | H302: Harmful if swallowed |
P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 335 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: PATTY (4th, 1994) | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Category 4 | Warning | H312: Harmful in contact with skin |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P322: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was set as Category 4 based on rabbit LD50 value: 1184mg/kg (PATTY 4th, 1994). | |
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) | Category 4 | Warning | H332: Harmful if inhaled |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. |
Based on rat LC50 (7 hours) value: 165ppm (4-hour equivalent 4.64mg/L) (ACGIH 7th, 2001) and 183ppm (4-hour equivalent 5.15mg/L) (PATTY 4th, 1994), the lower value was adopted. And it was set as Category 4. | |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
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 found no concrete case reports. But we classified it as Category 2A-2B based on the description in HSFS (2003) that the eye may be stimulated by contact, and on the description in SITTIG (4th, 2002) that it stimulated the eye. | |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Since data was insufficient, we could not classify it. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Since there is only data of the in vitro examination (the reverse mutation test using bacteria: positive, and the chromosomal aberration test using a cultured cell: negative), it cannot be classified. |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Neither of the organizations has classified about carcinogenic. There was carcinogenicity tests data using the rat and mouse of NTP TR110 (1978). But mortality rates was high, and the number of survival animals required for carcinogenic evaluation was not obtained. And it is indicated in former literature that it is inadequate (no convincing evidence) in proof, and it cannot be classified due to insufficient data. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 (Narcotic effects) | Warning | H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects) |
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. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
The substance was classified as Category 3 (anesthetic properties) based on the reports in ACGIH (7th, 2001) and NTP TR110 (1978) that central nervous system depression as an acute effect is observed in humans, and the reports in RTECS (2006) and HSDB (2006) that somnolence and drowsiness are observed in oral and percutaneous administration tests using rats, rabbits, guinea pigs and mice. | |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 2 | - | - | H401: Toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 2 from 96-hour LC50=2920microg/L of fishes (Fathead minnows), and others(AQUIRE, 2003). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 2 | - | H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Classified into Category 2, since acute toxicity was Category 2 and supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), though supposed less bio-accumulative (log Kow=3.03(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)). |
