- |
- | - | Classification not possible, because of the unidentified configuration and the absence of data. The substance, in the form of powder or vapor, is flammable and explosive (as far as metals are concerned, the finer the particles, the more dangerous they are), according to Sax (11th, 2004). Antimony powder is classified into Division 6.1 (UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, UN#2871), while metal powder including but not limited to that of antimony (combustibles) (except those identifiable by name) is classified into Division 4.1, Packing Group II and III ((UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, UN#3089). | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Based on the rat LD50 (oral route) of 7,000mg/kg (RTECS (2004)) suggests a hazard category of "not classified" but "classification not possible" is considered appropriate, given that the data are those of Priority 2. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not classified (Not applicable) |
- |
- | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |

2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Based on the description in HSDB (2005) suggests "skin irritation," but "classification not possible" is considered appropriate, given that the data are those of Priority 2. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Based on the description in HSDB (2005) suggests "eye irritation," but "classification not possible" is considered appropriate, given that the data are those of Priority 2. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
