1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. It was described in CICAD 34 (2001) that the LD50 of 2,3,6,7-tetrachloronaphthalene (CAS RN 34588-40-4) for guinea pigs was >3 mg/kg. It corresponded to Category 1 - "Not Classified," however, only from this value, the category cannot be determined. | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |

2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Strong dermal irritations were reported in guinea pigs dermally exposed to polychloronaphthalenes (CICAD 34 (2001)), however, it was not adopted as the evidence for classification because the cause of the irritation was not specified to be this substance. | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Irritation of the eyes was reported in workers exposed to polychloronaphthalenes, however, because it was pointed out that there had been possible exposure to other chemicals (CICAD 34 (2001)), it was not adopted as the evidence for classification. | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | There was no in vivo data. As for in vitro data, a bacterial reverse mutation test was negative (CICAD 34 (2001), DFGOT vol. 13 (1997), HSDB (Access on August 2016), NTP DB (Access on August 2016)). From the above, according to the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government, the substance was classified as "Classification not possible." | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |

8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. There was no data with regard to single exposure of this substance in humans and experimental animals. There were descriptions that chlorinated naphthalenes exhibited liver toxicity (CICAD 34 (2001), DFGOT Vol. 13 (1997)) and, description that symptoms in workers exposed to chlorinated naphthalenes included irritation of the eyes, fatigue, headaches, anaemia, haematuria, anorexia, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain etc. (CICAD 34 (2001)). None of these had information on the number of exposure times. | FY2016 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |

There was no information with regard to this substance as a single substance. Besides, for humans, severe skin reactions (chloracne) and liver disease both were reported after occupational exposure to chlorinated naphthalenes (CICAD 34 (2001), DFGOT vol. 13 (1997), ACGIH (7th, 2001)). The toxicity varies depending on the number of chlorine atoms, it was reported that studies in humans and animals showed that toxicity was dependent on the congener/isomer and that there was agreement in all the studies that the penta- and hexa- naphthalenes were the most toxic (CICAD 34 (2001)). Among these, with regard to the effects on the skin, it was reported that chloracne was observed with trichloronaphthalenes and higher chlorinated naphthalenes (DFGOT vol. 13 (1997)). It was reported that the incidence and severity of chloracne were less when trichloronaphthalene (usually mixed with some of this substance) was used rather than when penta- and hexachloronaphthalene were present (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). It was also reported that dermal application to volunteers caused chloracne only in Halowax 1014, containing penta- and hexachloronaphthalenes and that Halowaxes containing mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, hepta-, and octachloronaphthalenes did not (CICAD 34 (2001)). With regard to the effects on the liver, as information in which the substance is identified to some extent, a non-fatal case of hepatitis induced by occupational exposure to trichloronaphthalene (this substance was probably also present (CICAD 34 (2001)) at 3mg/m3 was reported (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). On the other hand, as for higher chlorinated congeners, it was reported that mixtures of pentachloronaphthalene and hexachloronaphthalene at the concentration of 1 to 2 mg/m3 in workplace environments, caused fatal cases of yellow atrophy of the liver to occur (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). As for experimental animals, in toxicity tests using rats in inhalation of trichloronaphthalene and small amounts of this substance for 2.5 months (1,232 hours) or 4 months (1,896 hours), very slight swelling of the liver at 0.0013 mg/L and hepatic hypertrophy with granulocytosis and mitotic figures at 0.011 mg/L were observed within the range of Category 1 (ACGIH (7th, 2001)). Besides, it was reported that in medium-term experiments performed with technical mixtures of polychloronaphthalenes in rats and guinea pigs, liver damage (mainly enlarged liver cells with increased granularity and vacuolization) etc. were found and the higher chlorinated mixtures appeared to be more toxic (CICAD 34 (2001)). As described above, chlorinated naphthalenes affected the liver and skin, and pentachloronaphthalene which has five chlorine atoms and hexachloronaphthalenes which has six chlorine atoms were thought to be the major causal substances for toxicity from chlorinated naphthalenes. There was no information on this substance as of single substance, however, because chloracne was reported in humans from mixtures of this compound containing lower chlorinated congeners, and as the effects on the liver were observed at doses corresponding to Category 1 in experimental animals, the substance was classified in Category 1(liver, skin). |
