The carcinogenicityity study by the 104-week oral administration employing rats and mice has a description that "increased incidences of kidney cell carcinomas cells and adenomas were deemed in male and female rats, and it was regarded as a clear evidence of indicating carcinogenicityity. Moreover, increased incidences of Tyson's glands adenomas was deemed in the male. Increased incidences of hepatocellular carcinomas, hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular adenomas, angiosarcoma of peritoneal was deemed in male and female mice, and it was regarded as a clear evidence of indicatign carcinogenicityity" (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare carcinogenicityity examination (2004)). Therefore, the carcinogenicityity in the animal was acknowledged. However, since application to humans was unknown, it was classified into Category 2. | |

In a combined repeated dose toxicity study and reproductive/developmental toxicity screening study in rats (OECD TG 422, GLP), it is reported that no effects on mating fertility and estrous cycles were observed, but at 200 mg/kg, the dose at which toxicities (effects on the liver and kidney) manifest themselves in mother rats, two animals were stillborn and three female offspring rats died during the breast-feeding period, so the substance has effects on female reproduction and generation/development of the offspring (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Report (Access on September 2008), SIDS (1996)). Therefore, it was classified as 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 | Category 2 (liver, kidney) | Warning | H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (liver, kidney) |
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It is written in the combination test of repeated dose toxicity study and reproduction screening study in rats (OECD TG 422, GLP) that effects on liver (hypertrophy of hepatocytes, and necrosis, etc.) and kidney (creatinine low level, necrosis of tubular epithelium, basophilic tubule change, etc.) were found, and target organs were considered to be liver and kidney (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare reports (Access on September 2008), SIDS (1996)). Since these effects were found within the scope of the guidance value of Category 2, it was classified into Category 2 (liver, kidney). | |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 2 | - | - | H401: Toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 2 from 72 hours ErC50=2.0mg/L of the algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (SIDS (2005)). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 2 | - | H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Since acute toxicity was Category 2 and there were no rapid degradability (not readily degradable, the decomposition by BOD(standard test method (4 weeks)): 0% (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data (1995)), it was classified into Category 2. |
