PHYSICAL HAZARDS
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not Classified because the substance is not explosive solely, though containing N-O as chemical groups associated with explosive properties present. (It might explode if mixed with Potassium ferrocyanide, or etc.) |
| 2 | Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Nonflammable (CHRIS-Chemical Hazards Response Information System, U.S.DOT/U.S.Coast Guard, 1999). (However, since it is an oxidizing substance and may promote combustion of other substances, it needs caution.) |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not classified because the substance is not self-reactive and contains no chemical groups with selfriactive properties present, though the substance contains N-O bonds as chemical groups with explosive properties present |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Nonflammable (CHRIS-Chemical Hazards Response Information System, U.S.DOT/U.S.Coast Guard, 1999). (However, it is an oxidizing substance, and it needs to be careful because it may ignite spontaneously if it contacts a flammable substance.) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Nonflammable (CHRIS-Chemical Hazards Response Information System, U.S.DOT/U.S.Coast Guard, 1999). |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Stable to water (the water solubility is obtained) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Category 2 |
|
Danger | H272: May intensity fire; oxidizer |
P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction. P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. P220: Keep/Store away from clothing/.../combustible materials. P221: Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles/... P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Category 2 because of UNRTDG Class: 5.1, PGII (N.O.S) and oxidizing solids (BGIA, GESTIS-database on hazardous substancess, Accessed in June 2006) |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic compound |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available. |
| 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 ... |
Category 4 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: 940mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: EHC 200 (1998) |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Without Data. In addition, copper dusts may cause eye irritation (PATTY, 2001). |
| 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 the in vitro mutagenicity test (tests for gene mutation) was a positive result (EHC 200, 1998), there was no in vivo mutagenicity test result. So it cannot be classified because of insufficient data. |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Data without. In addition, copper is classified into D (corresponding to outside of category)according to IRIS (1991). |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data. In addition, there is description in ATSDR (draft, 2004) that copper dust exposure stimulates respiratory tracts. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No 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 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=9.5microg/L of Crustacea (Ceriodaphnia), and others (EHC200, 1998). |
| 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. |
