So It was estimated by rat LCLo = 5ppm/4H (equivalent) (RTECS (2004)), and it was considered as Category 1. In addition, it support the category 1that 10ppm/4H exposure was also lethal in any four sorts of the rat, the mouse, the guinea pig, and the rabbit (HSDB, 2003).

8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Category 1 (respiratory system)	Danger	H370	P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501	There is a report in PATTY (5th, 2001), a Priority 1 document, that it caused pulmonary edema in 4 hours at 5ppm in inhalation exposure tests in 4 kinds of animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice). When this result was compared with the guidance values, it was within the values for Category 1. There are also reports in ICSC (J) (1997), SITTIG (4th, 2002), HSFS (2001), which are Priority 2 documents, that the substance has airway corrosivity properties and causes pulmonary edema, etc, in humans. The substance was classified as Category 1 (respiratory system [inhalation]) based on these reports.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (bone)	Danger	H372	P260 P264 P270 P314 P501	It is supposed that it has the influence (fluorosis) to a bone as fluoride on ACGIH-TLV (2004) of Priority 1 document . It was classified into Category 1 (bone). In addition, although effects on the central nervous systems, liver and renal in SITTIG (4th, 2002) of Priority 2 document, and the effects on the respiratory system in HSFS (2001) were described, all did not have data which is supported.

NOTE:

GHS Classification Result by the Japanese Government is intended to provide a reference for preparing a GHS label or SDS for users. To include the same classification result in a label or SDS for Japan is NOT mandatory.
Users can cite or copy this classification result when preparing a GHS label or SDS. Please be aware, however, that the responsibility for a label or SDS prepared by citing or copying this classification result lies with users.
This GHS classification was conducted based on the information sources and the guidance for classification and judgement which are described in the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government etc. Using other literature, test results etc. as evidence and including different content from this classification result in a label or SDS are allowed.
Hazard statement and precautionary statement will show by hovering the mouse cursor over a code in the column of "Hazard statement" and "Precautionary statement," respectively. In the excel file, both the codes and statements are provided.
A blank or "-" in the column of "Classification" denotes that a classification for the hazard class was not conducted in the year.
An asterisk “*” in the column of “Classification” denotes that “Not classified (or No applicable)” and/or “Classification not possible” is applicable. Details are described in the column of “Rationale for the classification”. If no English translation is available for “Rationale for the classification,” please refer to the Japanese version of the results.
