---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 4 |
Warning |
H302 | P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
Based on the LD50 value for rats of 1,100 mg/kg (DFGOT Vol. 4 (1992), IARC 27 (1982)), it was classified in Category 4. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |

- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no in vivo data. As for in vitro data, bacterial reverse mutation tests, and a chromosome aberration test and a sister chromatid exchange test with mammalian cultured cells were positive (IARC 27 (1982), DFGOT Vol. 4 (1992), NTP DB (Access on October 2015)). Although it was classified in Category 2 in the previous classification, the classification was changed because a positive finding from a DNA-damage test with mice (RTECS (2005)) which was described in the previous classification was not used. |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H351 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
There were no epidemiological studies that enable an evaluation of the relationship between human carcinogenicity and exposure specifically to this substance (NTP RoC (13th, 2014)). As for experimental animals, in carcinogenicity studies with rats or mice dosed by the oral route, in both sexes of both rats and mice, a significant increase in liver tumors (hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatocellular adenoma), in follicular epithelial-cell carcinomas of the thyroid or in the incidence of follicular-cell adenoma/carcinoma (combined) (female mice only), in addition, an increase in the incidence of benign and malignant tumors in the squamous epithelium of the external auditory canal (combined) in male rats, on the other hand, an increase in the incidence of adenocarcinomas of the uterus in female rats were observed, respectively (NTP TR 47 (1978), IARC Vol. 27 (1987), NTP RoC (13th, 2014)). As for carcinogenicity classifications by other organizations, IARC classified it in 2B (IARC Vol. 28 (1987)), Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) in 2B (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (2014)), NTP as R (NTP RoC 13th ed. (2014)), and EU in Carc. 1B (ECHA CL Inventory (Access on September 2015)), respectively. Since there is no epidemiological information in humans, and the evidence for the EU classification is not known either, it was classified in Category 2 for this hazard class on the basis of the classification results by the organizations other than the EU. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
There is no information on the reproductive effects of this substance in humans. As for experimental animals, it is described that after administration to pregnant rats by gavage (gestational day 1-5), as a result of confirmation of the presence or absence of implantation on the 10th day of gestation, a significant decrease in the number of implantations at 50 mg/kg/day, and complete inhibition of implantation at or above 100 mg/kg/day were observed (DFGOT Vol. 4 (1992)) [Note: there is also a similar description in IARC Vol. 27 (1982), but it was confirmed in the original paper (Kamboj V. P. and Kar A. B. (1966)) that rats were mistaken for mice as the species of test animals]. However, there is no other information available for the classification of this substance. Therefore, it was classified in Category 2 for this hazard class. |
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 (thyroid, lung, liver) |
Warning |
H373 | P260 P314 P501 |
There is no information on the effects of repeated exposure in humans. As for experimental animals, in a carcinogenicity study where this substance was administered in the feed for 68-72 weeks to rats, as non-neoplastic lesions, follicular epithelial-cell hyperplasia of the thyroid at 1,500 ppm (approx. 75 mg/kg/day (converted by a classifier)), squamous metaplasia of the alveolar and bronchiolar epithelium, and hyperplasia of the hepatocytes and bile duct in the liver at doses of 1500 ppm or above were observed (NTP TR 47 (1978), IARC 27 (1982)). It is described that hyperplasia of the follicular epithelial cells of the thyroid was also observed in a 77-79 week dietary administration study with mice at or above 2,500 ppm (approx. 125 mg/kg/day (converted by a classifier)), which exceeds the range for Category 2, and that this effect was related to the administration of this substance (NTP TR 47 (1978)). Thus, the thyroid was also regarded as a target organ in addition to the lung and liver. Therefore, it was classified in Category 2 (thyroid, lung, liver) for this hazard class. |
