As the information including toxicity test data in laboratory animals by repeated exposures of hafnium, and occupational exposures or epidemiological surveys and case reports etc. in humans have not been obtained, it was not able to be classified. On the other hand, in the 90-days feeding administration tests to the rat of hafnium tetrachloride, as the effects on the livers of the some animals of the 1000 ppm (equivalent for 50mg/kg/day) group, and the most animals of the 10000 ppm (equivalent for 500mg/kg/day) groups are observed (ACGIH 7th, 2001), in ACGIH, the recommended value of acceptable concentrations of hafnium and its compound is set as 0.5 mg/m3. Since the recommended value of acceptable concentrations of hafnium and its compound is set, there are histories which considered them as "the Hazardous Materials. Requiring Notification" provided in the 1st clause of Article 57-2 of the industrial safety and health laws. In consideration of the above histories, in the above tests which are made into the basis for setting of recommended value of acceptable concentrations by ACGIH, based on the description that the effects on the liver were observed in the 1000 ppm group in the Category 2 guidance value range (ACGIH 7th, 2001), it was classified into Category 2 (liver) about hafnium and its compound. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
