HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 5 - Warning H303: May be harmful if swallowed P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Category 5 based on SPECIES: Rat; ENDPOINT: LD50; VALUE: 3031mg/kg; REFERENCE SOURCE: HSDB (2003) 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 Category 3 - Warning H316: Causes mild skin irritation P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Since there is the description that this product stimulates human skin (HSDB, 2003;SITTIG, 2002), it was thought that it had mild stimulant and it was set to 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.
With this product, from the description (HSDB, 2003;SITTIG, 2002) that the human eye is stimulated, and by ACGIH-TLV (2005), there was eye irritation in fluoride. So it is set as Category 2A-2B. In addition, from these information, detailed categorization is difficult.
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 - - - - No data. In addition, in ATSDR (draft, 2005), there is the description that lead induces chromosome aberration to humans, and the inorganic lead compound is classified into the germ cell mutagenicities 3A (equivalent to GHS Category 1B-2) according to MAK/BAT (2005).
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1B 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 ...
There is no data of this product. But as a lead compound, it is equivalent to Category1B (inorganic lead compounds, Group 2A ) in IARC87 (2004), equivalent to Category1B-2 (Reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens) in NTPRoC (11th, 2005), and equivalent to Category 2 (respectively B-2, A3, 2B) in IRIS (1993), ACGIH-TLV (2005), and Occupational Health Society advice (2005).Therefore, it was set as Category 1B according to Group 2A of IARC87 (2004).
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 1A Danger H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child 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 ...
Based on the result that increase in testicular toxicity and fetus lethality were observed by administering this substance to male rats (RTECS, 2004), and the statement in ACGIH-TLV (2004) and ATSDR (draft, 2005) of Priority 1 document, etc. that lead (inorganic lead compounds) indicates reproductive toxicity in humans. So it was set as Category 1A.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (central nervous system, blood, kidney), Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation) Danger
Warning
H370: Causes damage to organs (central nervous system, blood, kidney)
H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation)
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 ...
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.
Since there is description in CERI Hazard Data2001-9 (2001) of Priority 1 document "in acute effects and chronic effects, almost the same symptoms are observed" as human impact of inorganic lead compound, and in ACGIH-TLV (2005), inorganic lead compounds effect on the central nervous systems, blood, and kidney, so it was considered as Category 1 (a central nervous system, blood, kidney). Moreover, in ACGIH-TLV (2005), it is supposed that fluoride has respiratory irritant. Since there was the same description also in SITTIG (2002) and HSFS (1999), it was considered as Category 3 (respiratory irritant).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (bone, central nervous system, blood, kidney) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (bone, central nervous system, blood, 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 ...
Although there is no data of this product, since fluoride had the influence on a bone (fluorosis), and since inorganic lead compounds had the effects on central nervous systems, blood, and renal (ACGIH-TLV (2005) of Priority 1 document), it was classified into Category 1 (a bone, a central nervous system, blood, kidney).
