HEALTH HAZARDS

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 ...
Category 4 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50;VALUE:322mg/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 - - - - There is a statement that humans skin indicates irritation (HSDB (2005)). So data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Although there is a description that it irritates to the human eye in HSDB (2005), since data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
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 - - - - Although there is knowledge that the weak chromosome aberration indecement action was seen in vitro (HSDB, 2005), there is no data of in vivo. So it cannot be classified because of insufficient data. In addition, the inorganic cadmium compound is classified into the germ cell mutagenicities 3A (equivalent to GHS Category 1B-2) according to MAK/BAT (2005).
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1A Danger H350: May cause cancer P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
The classification as cadmium compounds in IARC58 (1993), NTP RoC(11th, 2005), and industrial hygene academic society advice (2005) (Group 1, Known to be human carcinogens, 1, respectively) corresponds to Category 1A, and the classification as cadmium compounds in IRIS(1992), ACGIH-TLV(2005) (B1, A2, respectively) corresponds to Category 1B. But more severe classification is applied. Therefore, it was classified into Caategory 1A.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - Although SITTIG (4th, 2002) has a statement that the teratogenicity and impact on reproductive potential is suspected by humans, data is insufficient, it cannot classify.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 2 (respiratory system) Warning H371: May cause damage to organs (respiratory system) P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: 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.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Since there is the description that in HSDB (2005), HSFS (2001), and SITTIG (4th, 2002) of Priority 2 document, it effects (respiratory irritation, pulmonary edemas etc.) on the human respiratory systems, it was considered as Category 2 (respiratory systems).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (kidney) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (kidney) 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 ...
Since there is description that cadmium compounds have renal effects (ACGIH-TLV (2005) of Priority 1) and description of the renal effects by this product (HSFS (2001) and SITTIG (4th, 2002) in Priority 2) , it was classified into Category 1 (kidney). In addition, although there is description of effects on blood, lungs, etc. to human by this product (HSFS (2001) and SITTIG (4th, 2002) in Priority 2 document), the data which is supported was not found.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
