4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Category 2	Warning	H341	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	Based on the absence of data on multi-generation mutagenicity tests, germ/somatic cell mutagenicity tests in vivo and germ cell genotoxicity tests in vivo, and positive data on somatic cell genotoxicity tests in vivo (SCE tests) and mutagenicity tests in vitro (gene mutation tests), described in DFGOT vol.17 (2002).

6	Carcinogenicity	Category 2	Warning	H351	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category R by NTP (2005), Group 2B by IARC (1987), Category A3 by ACGIH (2001) and Category 2B by Japan Society for Occupational Health.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
7	Reproductive toxicity	Category 1A	Danger	H360	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	Based on expert judgment, given the fact that lead has been known to possess developmental neurotoxic and reproductive toxic potentials in humans.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 1 (blood system, kidney, nervous system)	Danger	H370	P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501	Based on toxicity of inorganic lead compounds. Based on the human evidence: "The effects observed in acute and chronic studies are very similar for inorganic lead compounds. Inhalation or oral ingestion of inorganic lead has been reported to induce oral contraction and thirst, along with nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and constipation suggesting gastrointestinal toxicity. The effects on hematopoietic function such as hemoglobin synthesis inhibition due to delta-aminolevulinic acid/heme synthetic enzyme inhibition and anemia caused by shortened survival of red blood cells are considered representative of toxic actions of inorganic lead. Kidney effects are evidenced by interstitial nephropathy and decreased urinary output along with proximal renal tubular damage showing Fanconi's syndrome represented by proteinuria, hematuria, urinary cast, glycosuria and aminoaciduria. Inorganic lead adversely affects the central and peripheral nervous systems, displaying in particular weakening of the muscle of the limbs, pain and spasm. There have been rare reports of adults exhibiting ataxia, headache, paresthesia, depression and coma indicative of toxic effects on the central nervous system when exposing to extremely high doses (details not shown). However, children are most sensitive to toxicity of lead, and neurodevelopmental toxicity manifested as restlessness, aggression, concentration difficulties and memory lapse has become serious problem in the U.S. "(CERI Hazard Data 2001-9 (2002)).	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (blood system, kidney, nervous system)	Danger	H372	P260 P264 P270 P314 P501	Based on toxicity of inorganic lead compounds. Based on the human evidence: "The effects observed in acute and chronic studies are very similar for inorganic lead compounds. Inhalation or oral ingestion of inorganic lead has been reported to induce oral contraction and thirst, along with nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and constipation suggesting gastrointestinal toxicity.
