11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Category 1 |
Warning |
H400 | P273 P391 P501 |
From 48-hour EC50 = 0.77 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Environment Agency in Japan (Environment Agency, 1995), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 3 (Ministry of the Environment, 2004), Hazard Assessment Report (CERI, NITE, 2006)), it was classified in Category 1. | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Category 1 |
Warning |
H410 | P273 P391 P501 |
If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified in Category 1 due to being not rapidly degradable (a degradation rate by BOD: 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1981)), and 21-day NOEC = 0.098 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Environment Agency in Japan (Environment Agency, 1995), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 3 (Ministry of the Environment, 2004), Hazard Assessment Report (CERI, NITE, 2006)). If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified in Category 2 due to being not rapidly degradable (a degradation rate by BOD: 0% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1981)), and 96-hour LC50 = 6.8 mg/L for fish (Oryzias latipes) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Environment Agency in Japan (Environment Agency, 1995), Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances vol. 3 (Ministry of the Environment, 2004), Hazard Assessment Report (CERI, NITE, 2006)). It was classified in Category 1 by drawing a comparison between the above results. |
