Dermal : Out of category
Fatal if inhaled(vapor)(category 1)
Inhalation(dust, mist) : Out of category(as imidazole)

rat oral LD50=315mg/kg
rat inhalation LC50=35ppm/4H(vapor)

Skin corrosiveness/irritation：Causes severe skin burns and eye damage(category 1C)－ 6/10 －No. DEFC0521

AQUALYTE KF5K

In the rabbit test, 4-hour application of 0.5 mL of 80%
imidazole as paste form with water to rabbit skin, severe
erythema appeared after one night and lasted until day 8 at
the end of observation period, and mild necrosis appeared after
one night and necrosis extending to all layers waspathologically observed at the end of observation period. Thus,
the product was classified into category 1C.
Serious eye damage/eye irritation：Causes serious eye irritation(category 2A)
Based on the evaluation of irritation with an irritation index
MMAS of 59.3 in a test in which undiluted imidazole (100 mg)
was applied to rabbit eyes, the product was classified into
category 2A.
Respiratory sensitization or Skin sensitization：Respiratory sensitization : Not possible to classify because of
insufficient data.
May cause an allergic skin reaction (category 1)
Iodine is listed in the 2nd skin group of the sensitization
substance of Recommendation of Acceptable Concentration ofJapanese Society for Occupational Health. Thus, the productwas classifed into category 1.
Mutagenicity：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data.

Carcinogenic effects ：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data
Effects on the reproductive system：Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child(category 2)
In oral administration developmental toxicity tests of imidazole
in rats on gestation days 6-19, at 180mg/kg/day, the highest
dose level which caused general toxicity in the form of
reduced food consumption and suppression of body weight gain
in dams, high incidence of late resorption and increased
post-implantation loss were observed. In addition, anasarca,
cleft palate, and decreased scapula were markedly observed,
suggesting external teratogenicity and skeletal malformations.
Thus, the product was classified into category 2.
Specific target organ systemic toxicity single exposure：May cause damage to organs (respiratory organs, nervous
system)(category 2)
Imidazole : In acute toxicity tests in rats orally exposed to500-5000mg/kg, within 1 hour of exposure, convulsions,－ 7/10 －No. DEFC0521

AQUALYTE KF5K

imbalance, lateral position, death, and in case of surviving
animals, torpor, slight imbalance, and stimulated respiration wereobserved. In oral administration tests in mice, at 1000mg/kg,
irregular respiration, piloerection, eyelid closure (some animals)
were observed after 15-30 minutes of exposure, and at 2000
mg/kg, crouching position (some animals) and death (oneanimal) were observed. In summary, based on symptoms
observed with the dose of the guidance value range ofcategory 2, it was classified into category 2 (nervous system).
Sulfur dioxide : In the inhalation exposure test using guinea
pigs, dogs, rabbits, and rats, airway mucosa irritation, increased
airway resistances and respiratory ciliary loss are seen by theconcentration of the guidance value range of Category 1, andthat decreases respiratory function, such as an increase in
airway resistance, was seen also in the inhalation exposure test
in humans. Thus, it was classified into category 1 (respiratoryorgans).
The product was classified into category 2 (respiratory organs,nervous system) based on each content.
Specific target organ systemic toxicity repeated exposure：Cause damage to organs (respiratory organs, thyroid gland)through prolonged or repeated exposure(category 1)
2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethanol : In a 28-day inhalation exposure
test in rats (6 hours/day, 5 days/week: estimated to bevapor), mild irritation of the larynx and nasal turbinates, andnecrosis of the ventral laryngeal cartilage (2/5-3/5 cases)
were observed beginning at 270 mg/m3. Thus, it wasclassified into category 1 (respiratory organs).
Sulfur dioxide : Based on the description that in the inhalation
exposure test using the rat and guinea pig, pneumonia andbronchitis were observed with the concentration in the category
1 guidance value range, it was classified into category 1(respiratory organs).
Iodine : Human studies have shown that chronic overdose ofiodine may cause hyperthyroidism (at doses above 8
mg/kg/day (about 560 mg/day)) or hypothyroidism (at doses
below 8 mg/kg/day). Thus, it was classified into category 1(thyroid gland).
The product was classified into category 1 (respiratory organs,－ 8/10 －No. DEFC0521

thyroid gland) based on each content.
Aspiration hazard：Not possible to classify because of insufficient data.
