1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Category 3 Danger H301: Toxic if swallowed P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）.
P330: Rinse mouth.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		SPECIES: Mouse ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 275mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS(2004)
1 Acute toxicity （Dermal） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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） Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Although it had the respiratory sensitizing property as nickel or nickel compound in the Japanese Society for Occupational Allergy (2004), Jpan Society for Occupational Health advice (2004), and MAK/BAT (2004), there was no data about this product, therefore we could not classify it for the insufficiency of the data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Although it had the cutaneous sensitizing property as nickel or nickel compound in the Japanese Society for Occupational Allergy (2004), Japan Society for Occupational Health advice (2004), and MAK/BAT (2004), there was no data about this product, therefore we could not classify it for theinsufficiency of the data.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - IARC49 (1990) and NTP RoC (11th, 2005) are equivalent to Category 1A, as a nickel compounds (respectively Group 1, "Known to be human carcinogens"), industrial hygene academic recommendation (2004) is equivalent to Category 2 (2B) as nickel, IRIS (1991) and ACGIH-TLV (2004) are equivalent to out of Category as a soluble inorganic nickel compound, (respectively "has not evaluated. . . as a class of compounds, for potential human carcinogenicity", and A4). And evaluation are roughly divided. It cannot be classified.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
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 ... 		No data available. NOTE: Classified into Category 3(Respiratory tract irritation). It is based on the evidence that selenium compounds are respiratory tract irritants (ACGIH-TLV (2004)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (central nervous system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (central 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 ... 		Although there is no data about this product, in ACGIH-TLV (2004; Priority 1 document), it is supposed that it has effect on the central nervous systems by repeated exposures of soluble inorganic nickel compounds. Therefore we classified it into Category 1 (central nervous systems).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） Category 3 - - H402: Harmful to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		It was classified into Category 3 from 96-hour LC50=39000microg/L of fishes (Guppy) (AQUIRE, 2003).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Category 3 - - H412: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Classified into Category 3, since acute toxicity was Category 3, and it is a metallic compound, behavior in water and bioaccumulative potential are unknown.
