| 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 rat LCLo = 5ppm/4H (equivalent) (RTECS (2004)), and it was considered as Category 1. In addition, it support the category 1that 10ppm/4H exposure was also lethal in any four sorts of the rat, the mouse, the guinea pig, and the rabbit (HSDB, 2003). |
| 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 | Category 2 |
|
Warning | H315: Causes skin irritation |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. |
ICSC (J) (2002), HSDB (2003), and HSFS (2001) of Priority 2 document have description which indicates the skin irritation in humans, and it was set as Category 2. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H318: Causes serious eye damage |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
Since there is the descripiton that it indicates the causticty to the eye (in Priority 2 document, ICSC (J) (2000), and SITTIG (4th, 2002)) , it was classified into Category 1. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although there is description which shows the possibility of skin sensitization in SITTIG (4th, 2002), there is no data which is supported, and since data is insufficient, it cannot classify. |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | As fluoride, it is categorized into A4 in ACGIH-TLV (2004), and as selenium compounds, it is categorized into Group 3 in IRIS (1993). It was out of the Category. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No Data. (It has classified into C as an inorganic selenium compound, also as fluoride in MAK/BAT (2004). It is supposed that there is no fears of reproductive toxicity.) |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (Inhalation: respiratory) |
|
Danger | H370: Causes damage to organs (Inhalation: respiratory) |
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 ... |
There is a report in PATTY (5th, 2001), a Priority 1 document, that it caused pulmonary edema in 4 hours at 5ppm in inhalation exposure tests in 4 kinds of animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice). When this result was compared with the guidance values, it was within the values for Category 1. There are also reports in ICSC (J) (1997), SITTIG (4th, 2002), HSFS (2001), which are Priority 2 documents, that the substance has airway corrosivity properties and causes pulmonary edema, etc, in humans. The substance was classified as Category 1 (respiratory system [inhalation]) based on these reports. |
| 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 ... |
It is supposed that it has the influence (fluorosis) to a bone as fluoride on ACGIH-TLV (2004) of Priority 1 document . It was classified into Category 1 (bone). In addition, although effects on the central nervous systems, liver and renal in SITTIG (4th, 2002) of Priority 2 document, and the effects on the respiratory system in HSFS (2001) were described, all did not have data which is supported. |
| 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. |
