HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity （Oral） Not classified - - - - SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: > 5000 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS (Access on Aug 2005)
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 description which suggests a possibility of stimulating the skin (HSFS (2001)). But there is no report of a specific case, and since data is insufficient, it cannot be classified.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Although there was description which suggests a possibility of stimulating an eye to HSFS (2001), there was no report of a concrete case. So data was insufficient, it was not able to classify.
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 available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
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 ... 		Since there is description in HSFS (2001) that it stimulates the throat in humans, and in high concentrations, it is suggested that it may cause dizziness, dyspnea and unconsciousness, it was judged that it has respiratory irritant and was considered as Category 3.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） Not classified - - - - It carried out the outside of Category from 96-hour EC50=579000microg/L of algae (Selenastrum) (AQUIRE, 2003).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） Not classified - - - - Since not water-insoluble (water solubility=1.00*106mg/L(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)) and acute toxicity is low.
