Rat LD50 value = 4.2mg/kg (ACGIH, 2003), rabbit LD50 value= 33.8mg/kg (ACGIH, 2003) and approximately 34mg/kg (PATTY 4th, 1994). The lower rat LD50 value was adopted and it was set as Category 1.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Category 1 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.

Calculated on based on rat LC50 (1 hour) value: 14.4ppm (4-hour equivalent 0.0329mg/L) and 0.0098mg/L (4-hour equivalent 0.0025mg/L) (ACGIH, 2003), approximately 14ppm (4-hour equivalent 0.032mg/L) (PATTY 4th, 1994). Since the calculated values were 0.00609mg/L, they were set to category 1.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available.
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 Not classified - - - - There is a negative result (JMPR, 1996) by the dominant lethal test using the mouse which is an in vivo multigeneration mutagenicity test using a germ cell, and the chromosome aberration test using a mouse marrow cell which is the in vivo mutagenicity test using a somatic. So it carried out the outside of Category.
6 Carcinogenicity Not classified - - - - Since it was classified into A4 (ACGIH, 2003) in ACGIH, it was considered as the outside of Category.
7 Reproductive toxicity Not classified - - - - It was considered as out of Category based on the description that there was no reproductive toxicity at the two-generation reproduction study using a rat (ACGIH (2003)), and the description that in the developmental toxicity test using rat and rabbit, even at the dose in which the neurotoxicity by cholinesterase inhibition is observed in dam, developmental toxicologies was not observed.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (nervous system) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (nervous 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 ...
The substance was classified as Category 1(nervous system) based on a report of neurological symptoms caused by the inhibition of cholinesterase activity in oral and percutaneous exposure cases in humans (ACGIH (2003)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (nervous system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (nervous system) 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 ...
We classified it into Category 1 (nerve systems) based on the description that the neurological symproms oweing to cholinesterase activities inhibition were observed with the dose of the guidance value range of Category 1in the feeding oral administration tests using the rat and dog (ACGIH (2003)), and based on the description that the effects on the nerve systems was observed in the 28-day oral study with a low-dose for the humans (ACGIH (2003)).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into Category 1 from 96-hour LC50=2.8microg/L of Crustacea (Amphipod)(HSDB, 2004).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 1 Warning H410: Very 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 1, since acute toxicity was Category 1, rapid degradability is unknown, though suppsed less bioaccumulative (log Kow=0.13 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
