H302 |
P301+P312
P264 P270 P330 P501 |
It was classified in Category 4 based on LD50 values of 650 mg/kg and 1,500 mg/kg for rats (HSDB (2012)). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Data are lacking. Besides, as for List 3 data, there is a report on an LD50 value of 1,000 mg/kg for rats (GESTIS (Access on July 2012)). |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 2 |
- |
H401 |
P273
P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 from 96-hour LC50 = 8.5 mg/L for fish (Pimephales promelas) (AQUIRE, 2013). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 2 |
- |
H411 |
P273
P391 P501 |
Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. It was classified in Category 2 because it is not rapidly degradable (not readily degradable, BOD: 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1988)), and it was classified in Category 2 in acute toxicity. |
12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | This substance is not listed in the Annexes to the Montreal Protocol. |
