4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since it was classified into the group 3 according to IARC, it carried out the outside of Category. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although there is a statement that any effect was not found in teratogenicity studies by oral administration to pregnant rats (IUCLID (2000)), there was no statement which clearly denies the hazard in Priority 1. So it was unclassifiable. |
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.

From the description in HSDB (2005) and HSFS (2003) that it stimulates lungs by inhalation, pulmonary edemas may be caused, and respiratory system is considered as target organ, so it was considered as Category 2. | |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |

It was classified into Category 1 from 96-hour LC50=0.049-0.16mg/L of fishes (Bluegill) (IUCLID, 2000). | |
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, though less bio-accumulative and behavior in water is unknown. |
