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 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. 		In Priority 2, since there was description which indicates irritation to human skin (ICSC (J), (1997), SITTIG (4th, 2002), HSFS (2002)), it was set as Category 2.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2A-2B Warning H319: Causes serious 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.

P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. 		In Priority 2, since there is the description which indicates irritation to the human eye (ICSC (J), (1997), SITTIG (4th, 2002), HSFS (2002)), it was classified into Category 2A-2B. In addition, it is difficult to subdivide the Category of this data.

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. 		The substance was classified as Category 2 (central nervous system) and Category 3 (airway irritant). Because it is reported in Priority 2 that it affects the central nervous system in humans (ICSC (J) (1997), SITTIG (4th, 2002)), and that inhalation of it causes irritation to nose and throat (SITTIG (4th, 2002)). It is also reported that nicotine has irritant properties to the peripheral autonomic nervous system and the nerve terminals of skeletal muscle (Refer to nicotine (ID608, CAS: 54-11-5).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Insufficient data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） Category 2 - - H401: Toxic to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		It was classified into Category 2 from 48-hour EC50=3250microg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (AQUIRE, 2003).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Category 2 - H411: 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 2, since acute toxicity was Category 2, and supposed not rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), though supposed less bio-accumulative (log Kow=0.4(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)).
