PHYSICAL HAZARDS
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 2 | Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | High pressure liquefied gas |
|
Warning | H280: Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated | P410+P403: Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. | High pressure liquefied gas because of "the critical temp: -2.05degC"(Merck, 13th, 2001) |
| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although 8 is given to Subsidiary risk in UNRTDG of Generic or N.O.S.entry, test methods suitable for gaseous substances are not established. (Merck (13th, 2001) has the description "it can be saved in steel cylinders (May be stored in steel cylinders)".) |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | 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. 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 ... |
There was no data of LC50. So it was estimated by mouse LCLo = 33.52ppm/4H (equivalent) (RTECS (2004)), and it was considered as Category 1. |
| 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 | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2B | - | Warning | H320: Causes 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. |
There is no data about this product. But there is the description about eye irritation as fluoride in ACGIH-TLV (2004). It was classified into Category 2B. |
| 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 |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | It was classified into A4 (equivalent to out of Category ) in ACGIH-TLV (2004) as fluoride. But it cannot be classified due to insufficient data. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although there is no developmental toxicity as fluoride in MAK/BAT (2005) , data is insufficient, it cannot be classified. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 （Respiratory tract irritation） |
|
Warning | H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) |
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 ... |
There are no data for this substance, but ACGIH-TLV (2004), a Priority 1 document, reports that in the form of a fluoride the substance has airway irritant properties. The substance was classified as Category 3 (airway irritant). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (bone) |
|
Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (bone) |
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 ... |
Although there was no data about this product, in ACGIH-TLV (2004; Priority 1 document), it is supposed that it had the influence (fluorosis) to the bone as fluoride. Therefore we classified it into Category 1 (bone). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Gas (GHS definition) |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
