| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 4 |
|
Warning | H302: Harmful if swallowed |
P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Because the LD50 in rats was 1260mg/kg in RTECS (2000), the substance was classified as Category 4. [Note] Because the data available for this substance is limited, also refer to the classification results of zinc sulfates (anhydride) (IDNo.0247, CAS No.7733-02-0) for each item related to its health hazards. |
| 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） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | NITE synthesis search (2006) had a description "practically 0 mmHg" about vapor pressure. Therefore, it was thought that exposure to vapor was difficult and it was out of classification. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | It was thought that there was a statement that redness is indicated to the human skin (ICSC (J) (2001)), and there was mild irritation, and it was set as Category 3. |
| 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. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. |
There is the description that it causes redness, pain, and temporary vision loss to human eye (ICSC (J) (2001)), and it was classified into R41 (Risk of serious damage to eyes) according to EU-Annex I (Accessed in July 2006) as zinc sulfates (anhydride). So it was classified into Category 2A-2B. In addition, it is difficult to subdivide the Category from existing information. |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although it is categorized as zinc compounds into I in IRIS (2005) (corresponding to outer Category) , due to insufficient data, 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 ... |
The substance was classified as Category 3 (airway irritant) because there is a report of airway irritant properties in humans (coughs, pharyngeal pain, etc.) in ICSC (J) (2001). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although there was a report that effect was observed in the pancreatics with the repeated toxicity studies of rats and mice (RTECS (2000)), in comparison with a guidance value, it was classified out of Category. Other data was not found, and it was considered that it cannot be classified. |
| 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 1 |
|
Warning | H400: Very toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 1 from 48-hour LC50=0.095mg/L of Crustacea (Ceriodaphnia) (ECETOC TR91, 2003). |
| 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 was Category 1, and it is a metallic compound, behavior in water and bioaccumulative potential are unknown. |
