Warning |
H319 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280 |
Although there is no specific information, because there is a description that this substance is irritating to the eyes (HSDB (Access on September 2014)), it was classified in Category 2. | FY2014 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |

6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Since it was classified in Group 3 by IARC (IARC suppl 7 (1987)) (as Fluorides (inorganic, used in drinking-water)), and in A4 by ACGIH (ACGIH (7th, 2001)) (as Fluorides), it was classified as "Classification not possible." | FY2014 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, as for the reproductive toxicity of fluorides, please also refer to sodium fluoride, CAS RN 7681-49-4. |

8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Classification not possible" due to lack of data on this substance. Besides, there are reports that fluorides cause respiratory tract irritation and corrosion of the mucous membranes by the inhalation exposure and cause systemic intoxication by the oral ingestion (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). |
FY2014 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (bone) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
There were no findings of effects by repeated exposure to this substance. However, it is reported that osteosclerosis will occur due to excessive accumulation of fluorine in the bone by the repeated exposure to fluorides through the inhalation or oral route (ACGIH (7th, 2001)) and this substance was also considered to indicate the same property. Therefore, it was classified in Category 1 (bone). Besides, "bone" and "teeth" were designated as target organs in the previous classification based on ICSC in List 3, however, it was only described in ICSC that it may result in fluorosis, and there are no descriptions regarding target organs (ICSC (2004)). | FY2014 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.0)) |
