7 | Reproductive toxicity | Not classified |
- |
- | - | [Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1)-(4), it was classified as "Not classified." [Evidence Data] (1) In a 2-generation reproductive toxicity test with rats dosed by feeding, lower body weight was observed in pups at the dose where reduced body weight gain and decreased food consumption were observed in parental animals, but no reproductive effects were observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). (2) In a developmental toxicity test with female rats dosed by gavage on gestational Days 6-15, ossification failure was observed in the fetuses at the dose where maternal toxicity (reduced body weight gain, decreased food consumption) was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). (3) In a developmental toxicity test with female rabbits dosed by gavage on gestational Days 6-18, decreases in the number of implantation and fetuses, and lower body weight, and skeletal abnormalities (asymmetric sternebrae, fusion, etc.) due to maternal toxicity were observed in the fetuses at the dose where maternal toxicity (deaths (2/16 animals), abortion (1 animal), complete embryo absorptions (2 animals), decreased body weight, etc.) was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). (4) In a developmental neurotoxicity test with female rats dosed by feeding from Day 0 of gestation to Day 21 of lactation (post-delivery), reduced body weight gain, and reversible reductions in motor activity and locomotor activity were observed in pups at the dose where decreased food consumption was observed in maternal animals. However, no treatment-related effects were observed in FOB and neuro histopathological tests, etc., therefore, no developmental neurotoxicity was observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). |

8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (nervous system) |
Danger |
H370 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
[Rationale for the Classification] There are no reports on single exposure to this substance in humans. Based on the information on the mechanism of action in (1) and the results in experimental animals in (2) and (3), the nervous system was considered to be the target organ. Since effects were observed at doses within Category 1 based on the result in (2), it was classified in Category 1 (nervous system). [Evidence Data] (1) There is a description that the mechanism of action of this substance is an agonist action on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). (2) In a single oral administration test with rats, indifference, transient labored breath and tachypnea, hypomobility, transient staggering gait, blepharophimosis, and transient tremors and convulsions were observed at or above 100 mg/kg (male) or 250 mg/kg (female). Dead animals were observed at or above 400 mg/kg in both males and females. The lowest effect level corresponds to Category 1 (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). (3) In a 4-hour single inhalation exposure test with rats, dyspnea, hypoactivity, piloerection and slight tremors were observed in both males and females at 2.577 mg/L and 5.32 mg/L of the dust of this substance, but no deaths were observed. The lowest effect level corresponds to Category 2 (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016), A pesticide abstract and evaluation report (Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center, 2013)). |

9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 2 (nervous system, liver) |
Warning |
H373 | P260 P314 P501 |
[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1)-(3), it was classified as Category 2 (nervous system, liver). Besides, it was judged that the increased intracolloid mineral deposition observed in (2) does not affect thyroid function, and the thyroid was not adopted as the target organ. New information sources were used and reviewed, and the classification result was changed from the previous classification. [Evidence Data] (1) In a 90-day repeated dose toxicity test with dogs dosed by feeding, tremors, decreased body weight, and decreased food consumption were observed in males and females at 1,800/1,200 ppm (male/female: 45.3/45.9 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 2) (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). (2) In a 2-year combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study with rats dosed by feeding, increased accumulations of minerals in thyroid colloids in males at or above 300 ppm (male/female: 16.9/24.9 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 2), and increased accumulations of minerals in thyroid colloids, etc. in females at or above 900 ppm (male/female: 51.3/73.0 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 2), were observed (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). (3) In a 28-day inhalation toxicity test with rats (6 hours/day, 5 days/week), increased glutamate dehydrogenase and induction of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme in males and females, reduced body weight gain in males, and prolonged blood coagulation time, increased liver weight, ALT, ALP and total bilirubin, etc. in females were observed after exposure to 0.191 mg/L (converted guidance value: 0.059 mg/L, within the range of Category 2) of the dust of this substance was exposed via the nose (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016), A pesticide abstract and evaluation report (Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center, 2013)). [Reference Data, etc.] (4) In addition, effects on the liver and nervous system were observed at doses exceeding the range of Category 2 in a 90-day repeated dose test with rats dosed by feeding, and effects on the nervous system and liver were observed at a dose exceeding the range of Category 2 in a 2-year carcinogenicity test with mice dosed by feeding. Besides, no toxic effects were observed at a dose exceeding the range of Category 2 in a 21-day dermal exposure test with rabbits (Risk Assessment Report (Pesticides) (Food Safety Commission of Japan, 2016)). |
