HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification	Classification year (FY)	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government
1	Acute toxicity (Oral)	Category 2	Danger	H300	P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1)-(4), it was classified in Category 2. [Evidence Data] (1) LD50 for rats: 13-35 mg/kg (EPA Pesticide (1998)) (2) LD50 for rats: male: 12.00 mg/kg, female: 15.72 mg/kg (HSDB (Access on June 2019)) (3) LD50 for rats: 40.5 mg/kg (HSDB (Access on June 2019)) (4) LD50 for rats: 45.7 mg/kg (HSDB (Access on June 2019))	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), it was classified as "Not classified." [Evidence Data] (1) LD50 for rabbits: 2,000-5,000 mg/kg (EPA Pesticide (1998), IPCS PIM 865 (1997), HSDB (Access on June 2019))	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified (Not applicable)."	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), it was classified as "Not classified." [Evidence Data] (1) This substance (94%) was not irritating in a skin irritation test with rabbits (EPA Pesticide (1998)). [Reference Data, etc.] (2) Powder of this substance was mildly irritating in a skin irritation test (Draize method) with rabbits (EHC 73 (1988)).	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Category 2	Warning	H319	P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), it was classified in Category 2. Besides, since the previous classification was based on data from formulations, the category was changed by new data. [Evidence Data] (1) Slight conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge were observed in a rabbit eye irritation test with this substance (94% active ingredient) (EPA Pesticide (1998), HSDB (Access on June 2019)). [Reference Data, etc.] (2) This substance is neither an eye irritant nor a skin sensitizer (EFSA J. 8 (7) 1671 (2010)).	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
4	Skin sensitization	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), it was classified as "Not classified." [Evidence Data] (1) This substance is neither an eye irritant nor a skin sensitizer (EFSA J. 8 (7) 1671 (2010)).	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] A mouse micronucleus test was negative in (1), but a mouse lymphoma TK assay was positive in (2). Therefore, the classification is not possible due to insufficient data to assess in vivo effects. [Evidence Data] (1) As for in vivo, there is a negative result in a mouse micronucleus test (EPA Pesticide (1998)). (2) As for in vitro, it is reported that a bacterial reverse mutation test was negative, and a mouse lymphoma TK assay was positive (EPA Pesticide (1998)).

6	Carcinogenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), though no developmental effects were observed even at the dose at which maternal toxicity was observed, it was classified as "Classification not possible," due to lack of information on effects on sexual function and fertility. [Evidence Data] (1) In a developmental toxicity test in which female rats were administered by gavage on gestational Days 6-15, though maternal toxicity (deaths (9/25 animals), body weight and food intake reductions) was observed, no effect on embryos/fetuses was observed (EPA Pesticide (1998), GESTIS (Access on August 2019)). [Reference Data, etc.] (2) There is a report with details unknown that in a test in which rats were dosed by feeding for 22 days, no impairment of fertility was observed even at the dose where deaths were observed in some parental animals (GESTIS (Access on August 2019)).	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 1 (central nervous system, respiratory organs, blood system, liver, kidney)	Danger	H370	P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), it was classified in Category 1 (central nervous system, respiratory organs, blood system, liver, kidney). Since the effect on the cardiovascular system may be a secondary effect, it was excluded. The classification result was changed from the previous classification by the use of a new information source. [Evidence Data] (1) This substance decomposes to hydrogen phosphide (phosphine, CAS RN 7803-51-2) in vivo. It is described that the main target organs of phosphine are the respiratory system (cough, sore throat, dyspnea, pulmonary edema, etc.) and the central nervous system (headache, vertigo, tremors, unsteady gait, convulsions, coma, etc.) (IPCS, PIM 865 (1997)). (2) Among 20 patients who developed poisoning by ingestion of this substance, 10 patients died after ingestion of 4.5-180 g. The main clinical manifestations were metabolic acidosis, methemoglobinemia, hypocalcemic tetani, reduced blood coagulation, pulmonary edema, and gastrointestinal, neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular disorders. In postmortem findings, pulmonary congestion and edema, hemorrhagic changes in the intestinal epithelium, centrilobular congestion and necrosis and discoloration of the liver, and patchy necrosis of the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidneys were observed (IPCS, PIM 865 (1997)).	FY2019	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1))
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (central nervous system, blood system, kidney), Category 2 (liver)	Danger Warning	H372 H373	P260 P264 P270 P314 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), chronic exposure to humans may cause effects on the central nervous system. As for experimental animals, it was considered that the target organs were the kidney based on (2), and the blood system and liver based on (3). Therefore, it was classified in Category 1 (central nervous system, blood system, kidney), Category 2 (liver). The classification result was changed from the previous classification by the use of new information sources. [Evidence Data] (1) Workers who were repeatedly exposed to this substance, may develop neuropsychiatric symptoms (anxiety, impotence or rapid onset fatigue) (GESTIS (Access on August 2019)). (2) In a 90-day gavage administration test with rats, mortality or moribundity, salivation, and hypothermia, and hydronephrosis (in males) were observed at or above 1.0 mg/kg/day, and pyelonephritis was observed in males at 3.0 mg/kg/day (EPA Pesticide (1998)). These dosages are all within the range of Category 1. (3) In a test in which female weaning rats were dosed by feeding for 13 weeks, deaths and increased relative weights of the liver, heart and thyroid were observed at or above 200 ppm (converted guidance value: 10 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 1), increases in the serum zinc and the liver ALP levels were observed at 500 ppm (converted guidance value: 25 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 2). Moreover, dose-dependent hematological changes (decreases in hemoglobin concentration, red cell count and hematocrit (no description of an effect level)) were observed (EHC 73 (1988)). Since effects on the blood system were dose-dependent, it was judged to appear at the dose within the range of Category 1. [Reference Data, etc.] (4) In a test in which rats were dosed with this substance (dosing period, etc. were unspecified), at 300 mg/kg, deaths (6/6 animals) were observed 2 weeks after administration. At 200 mg/kg, reduced body weight gain and deaths (2/6 animals) were observed, and histopathological examination revealed liver damage in the peripheral and central lobular areas, and congestion with hemorrhage or exudate in the alveolar spaces in the lungs (EHC 73 (1988)).
