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.	SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 4200 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS (Access on Aug 2005), IUCLID (2000)
1	Acute toxicity （Dermal）	Not classified	-	-	-	-	It was set as the outside of Category based on that no death was observed by administration of 3500mg/kg to rats (IUCLID, 2000).
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	-	-	-	-	There is only a data with rat lethal concentration: >0.3mg/L (RTECS, 2005), and it cannot be classified since data is insufficient.
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Category 2		Warning	H315: Causes skin irritation	P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.	It was set as Category 2 from description that the skin is stimulated (HSDB (2005), HSFS (2002)).
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.	It was set as Category 2A-2B from description that the mucosa is stimulated (HSDB (2005)), and description which suggests a possibility of stimulating the eye (HSFS (2002)). Since the grade and recovery nature of the stimulus were unknown, detailed categorization was not made.
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	-	-	-	-	There was a negative result by the micronucleus test which uses the erythrocytes of the rat and a mouse, which is an in vivo mutagenicity test using a somatic (IRIS, 2005). So it is classified as the out of the Category.
6	Carcinogenicity	Not classified	-	-	-	-	Since it was classified into NL according to EPA, it carried out the outside of Category.
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Classification not possible due to lack of data
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 ...	From description in HSDB (2005) that the mucosa is stimulated, and description in HSFS (2002) that nose and throat may be stimulated by inhalation and coughing and wheezing may be started, it was judged that it has respiratory irritant and was considered as Category 3.
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	It cannot be classifed because of insufficient data. Since there was description that although the effect was observed in the thyroid in the rat oral study, in evidence of human occupational exposure, change of thyroid hormones or THS was not observed, and that human is not sensitive than rat in thyroid functions disturbances (IRIS, 2005), it was not considered that the serious toxic effect for the human thyroid
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
