H302 | P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
It was classified in Category 4 based on an LD50 value of 1,959 mg/kg for rats (males and females) (OECD TG401) (SIDS (2001)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" because it was not irritating in a skin irritation test with rabbits (OECD TG404, GLP-compliant) (SIDS (2001)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2B |
Warning |
H320 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 |
It was classified in Category 2B because it was slightly irritating in an eye irritation test with rabbits (OECD TG405, GLP-compliant) (SIDS (2001)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" based on negative results in a micronucleus test with bone marrow cells after intraperitoneal administration to mice (OECD TG474; GLP) (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity test) and chromosomal aberration tests by intraperitoneal or oral administration to mice (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity test) (SIDS (2001)). Besides, it is reported that it was positive in a micronucleus test with bone marrow cells after intraperitoneal administration to mice (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity test) and a chromosomal aberration test with bone marrow cells after intraperitoneal administration to rats (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity test), but both were not used for classification because the former test gave a weakly positive result, and the micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte rate in the control group was high, and the latter was considered invalid due to the test condition details unknown (SIDS (2001)). And as for in vitro tests, it is reported that it was all negative in multiple Ames tests and a chromosomal aberration test with CHO cells (SIDS (2001), NTP DB (1983)). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. Besides, it is reported that in tests in which this substance was dosed to rats by feeding to investigate effects on the carcinogenicity of the other substances, no hyperplastic or dysplastic changes were observed, or there was no induction of liver tumors (SIDS (2001)), but there are no test data on the carcinogenicity of this substance itself. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
In a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test with rats by oral administration (OECD TG 422; GLP), significant decreases in body weights of pups at or above 200 mg/kg/day and viability on day 4 after birth at 600 mg/kg/day were observed, and as general toxicity in parent animals at the same doses, there is a report on hyperplasia of the spleen and bone marrow, decreases in hemoglobin level and hematocrit values, and death cases at 600 mg/kg (SIDS (2001)). Therefore, it was classified in Category 2. Besides, it is reported that in a reproductive test with mice by diet administration of a 0.1% concentration up to the 4th generation, significant decreases in reproductive capacity and survival were found at the dose that caused general toxicity such as methemoglobin formation and cyanosis (SIDS (2001)), although the details are unknown. | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (blood), Category 3 (narcotic effects) |
Danger Warning |
H370 H336 |

It is reported that workers who were engaged in the manufacturing of this substance in a factory in India complained of chest pain and epigastric pain after work hours, there were no clinical signs but a tinge of cyanosis, and hemoglobin values decreased (SIDS (2001)). There are reports on cases of acute poisoning by the use of this substance, and symptoms were characterized by cyanosis, fatigue, vertigo, somnolence, oppression, palpitation, etc. and nausea, gastric pain, visual disturbances, trismus, etc. were reported (SIDS (2001)), and it is described that large doses in acute poisoning produce methemoglobin in humans (SIDS (2001)). On the other hand, as for animal tests, it is described that single oral administration of 200 mg/kg of this substance to dogs caused oxidization of hemoglobin to form methemoglobin (HSDB (2003)). It was classified in Category 1 (blood) from the above knowledge. And in an acute toxicity test in which male and female rats were orally dosed (OECD TG401), an LD50 value was 1,959 mg/kg, indicating lower acute toxicity, but symptoms of lethargy, coma, and abnormal gait were observed after administration (SIDS (2001)), and loss of pain sensation was seen as a result of oral administration 180 mg/kg to rats (IUCLID (2000)). Therefore, it was Category 3 (narcotic effects). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (hematopoietic system, kidney) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
It is well known to produce cyanosis in humans when taken repeatedly due to the formation of sulfhemoglobin (SIDS (2001)). And it is reported that as human case reports, the continued use leads to chronic poisoning characterized by gastroenteric disturbances, cardiac dysfunctioning, drowsiness, hemolytic anemia, methemoglobinemia, reticulocytosis, cyanosis, and acute renal failure, and advanced degenerative changes of the kidney were the most prominent postmortem findings (SIDS (2001)). On the other hand, in a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test with rats (OECD TG 422; GLP), decreases in blood parameters such as hemoglobin level and hematocrit values at or above 22 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 7.3 mg/kg/day: equivalent to Category 1) and a decrease in erythrocyte count at or above 67 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 22.3 mg/kg/day: equivalent to Category 2) were observed, and histopathological examination showed red pulp hyperplasia of the spleen and bone marrow hyperplasia of the femur at or above 22 mg/kg/day, extramedullary hematopoiesis of the liver and thymus atrophy at or above 200 mg/kg/day (converted guidance value: 66.7 mg/kg/day: equivalent to Category 2), and death cases and cyanosis were found at the dose above the upper limit of the guidance values (SIDS (2001)). From the above, it was classified in Category 1 (hematopoietic system) based on findings in case reports in humans and hematological and histopathological findings in the repeated oral administration test with rats. Furthermore, because degenerative changes of the kidney were reported as prominent findings in humans, it was classified in Category 1 (kidney). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

H402 | P273 P501 |
It was classified in Category 3 from 72-hour EC50 = 13.5 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (SIDS, 2004). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. It was classified as "Not classified" due to rapid degradability (a degradation rate by BOD: 68.7% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1995)), and a low bioaccumulation estimate (LogKow = 1.16 (PHYSPROP Database, 2009)), although it corresponds to Category 3 in acute toxicity for algae (SIDS, 2004). | FY2012 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
