Rat LD50 <200mg/kg (Pesticide Manual (13th ed, 2003)), and rabbit LD50 = 3.6 mg/kg (HSDB (2003)). The lower one was adopted, and it was classified as Category 1.
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 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.

The saturated vapor pressure concentrations calculated from this substance's steam pressure 1.37*10^(-5)mPa (25degC) is 1.35*10^(-7)mg/L, and each concentration (2mg/L, 6ug/L) used for the inhalation study is considered to be a dust. Therefore, it was classified into category 1 based on higher toxic value LC50 <6ug/L/4 hr (HSDB (2003)) among rat LC50 values.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified - - - - Since there was description that there was no skin irritation in Priority 1 (PM (13th, 2003)), it was carried out the outside of Category.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Not classified - - - - Since there is the description that there is no irritation to the eye (Priority 1(PM (13th, 2003))), it is classified out of the Category.
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 - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available

P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.

The substance was classified as Category 2 (blood (anticoagulation)) based on the reports in Priority 2 of bleeding (epistaxis, melena, punctate hemorrhages, etc.) derived from the anticoagulant effect in humans (SITTIG (4th, 2002), HSFS (1999), HSDB (2003)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (blood) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (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 ...
In the experiment of the rat in Priority 1, there is description that widespread copious haemorrhages in the volume equivalent to the guidance value of Categpry 1 is observed (EHC175 (1995)). Moreover, also in the experiment in dermal administration to the rabbit in Priority 2, since various bleed in organ was observed in the level equivalent to the guidance value of Category 1 (HSDB (2003)), it was classified into Category 1 (blood). In addition, although there is description that it may have affect to liver and kidneys of human in Priority 2 (SITTIG (4th, 2002)), since there was no other description which directs these contents, it was not added to target organ.
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 1 Warning H400: Very toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P391: Collect spillage.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since a potential that relevant toxicity was discovered in the water solubility (0.3 mg/L(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)) of this substance cannnot ve denied, from 96-hour LC50=2.09mg/L of fishes (American catfish) (EHC175, 1995), it was classified into Category 1.
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 is Category 1, supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), and bioaccumulative (log Kow=4.1 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
