HEALTH HAZARDS

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 ...
Based on LD50 value 1,683 mg/kg obtained by application of the formula to rat LD50 value (1,650, 1,648, and 1,750 mg/kg) in IUCLID (2000), it is classified into Category 4. In addition, EU Annex I is R22 and is equivalent to the GHS Category 3 to 4.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Category 5 - Warning H313: May be harmful in contact with skin P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Based on 3,129 mg/kg of lower value among LD50 values of the rat in IUCLID (2000) (male: 4,200 mg/kg, female: 3,129 mg/kg), it is classified into Category 5.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Since it was a solid by the definition of GHS, it was classified into "Not applicable".
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - Although "no irritation" is described for a 7 day observation study with 24 hour application to rabbits of unknown number in IUCLID (2000), classification is not possible, because information is not of Priority1.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2 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.
Although the number of animals is unknown, there is a description in IUCLID (2000) that 50 mg was applied to a rabbit, "high irritant" in the seven days observational study. Although this is thought to be equivalent to Category 2A or Category 2B, since it is inadequate as a basis of fine classification, it is classified into Category 2. In addition, EU Annex I is R36 and is equivalent to the GHS Category 2.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Classification is not possible since there is no data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - Classification is not possible since there is no data.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - Although there was the negative result in IUCLID (2000) in the in vitro Ames test, it classification is not possible because there is no in vivo examination result.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 2 Warning H361: Suspected of damaging 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 ...
Since it is reported in IUCLID(2000) of Priority 2 that the loss of fetuses by resorption and deformation (cleft palates and peromelia) increased at the dose level (200mg/kg/day) where symptoms other than body weight reduction among parent animals have not been reported in the developmental toxicity study using rats, it is classified in Category 2. Incidentally, thorough reviewing was not carried out, because the primary document was a study report prepared by the manufacturing company(Bayer (1988)). In addition,EU Annex I is Cat3;F63,corresponding to GHS Category 2.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - In Priority 2 in IUCLID (2000), there is a report of liver degeneration in a 13-week study in rats with a dosage of 167 mg/kg/day. Similarly, in Priority 2 in RTECS (1997), there is a report of abnormalities in the central nervous system and the kidneys in a 13-week study in rats with a dosage of 364 mg/kg/day. These dosages, however, exceeded the guidance values for Category 2 of 100 mg/kg/day, and since no studies were conducted using dosages within the range of the guidance values, it was classified into "Classification not possible" because of insufficient data.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - Classification not possible due to lack of data
