In a micronucleus assay using rats, micronucleus formation was induced in the lung and spleen erythrocytes following administration of the substance (EHC 202 (1998)). Since no in vivo mutagenicity tests using germ cells are available, the substance was classified into Category 2. As additional background information, in vivo micronucleus assay using rat bone marrow cells gave negative results (EHC 202 (1998)). | |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 2 | Warning | H351: Suspected of causing 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 ... |
Since it is rated as "Group 2B" by the IARC (IARC Suppl. 7 (1987)) and "R" by the NTP (U.S. NTP (2005)), the substance was classified into Category 2. | |
