- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | It is reported that nitrogen gas is present in the atmosphere at high levels (80% or more) and toxicologically nitrogen acts only by the physiological effect of simple asphyxia (ACGIH (2001)), therefore, the level of oxygen is the critical factor in preventing asphyxia (ACGIH (2001), PATTY (5th, 2001)). The substance was classified as "Not classified" since there is no lethal effect by exposure at approximately 80% in the atmosphere. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
