Germ cell mutagenicity:::

Carcinogenicity:

No classification
In a 4-hour exposure test in rabbits (OECD TG 404), mean score forerythema was 1.0 after 1 and 24 hours of exposure. Mean scores forerythema and edema were 0.0 at all other time, indicating "noirritation". Thus, it was classified as "No classification".
Causes eye irritation
In two Draize tests in rabbits (OECD TG 405), moderate irritation
was observed. In one test, signs of corneal opacity, iritis,
conjunctival redness, and chemosis were observed. Mean scores on
Day 1 were 1 or more for corneal opacity, 2 or more for
conjunctival redness, and most effects were reversible within 7days. Thus, it was classified into category 2B.
Classification not possible
Classification not possible
No classification
As for in vivo tests, there are negative data on micronucleus assay
in rat and mouse bone marrow, negative data on chromosome
aberration tests in rat bone marrow and peripheral blood
lymphocytes, and negative data on chromosome aberration tests in
Chinese hamster bone marrow. In addition, negative results are
obtained for micronucleus assay in mouse spermatids, chromosome
aberration tests in spermatocytes, chromosome aberration tests in
rat spermatogonia, and chromosome aberration tests in Chinese
hamster spermatogonia. As for in vitro mutagenicity tests, there
are negative data on the Ames test, and mouse lymphoma assay andmicronucleus assay in cultured mammalian cells.
May cause cancer
IARC shows that there is ample evidence for carcinogenicity ofalcoholic beverages from many epidemiological data, indicating thatethanol and its main metabolite, acetaldehyde, induce malignant
tumors in esophagus following ingestion of ethanol-containingalcoholic beverages. Thus, ethanol was classified into category 1A.

Aspiration hazard:

May damage fertility or the unborn child
Human studies have shown that prenatal ingestion of ethanol causes
congenital malformation known as fetal alcohol syndrome inneonates. The malformation includes microcephaly, short palpebral
fissures, abnormalities of joint, limbs and heart, and behavioral
and cognitive impairment during development. As the above data areconsidered clear evidence of reproductive toxicity of ethanol inhumans, it was classified into category 1A. As relevant
information, fetal alcohol syndrome is related to female alcoholics
who drink alcohol regularly in large quantities during thegestation period. There are no reports of fetal alcohol syndromecaused by industrial oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure. Animalstudies have shown that malformations were observed in oral
administration studies in pregnant rats.
May cause drowsiness or dizziness
May cause respiratory irritation
Human studies have shown that inhalation exposure causes irritative
symptoms of eyes and respiratory tract. An increase in blood
ethanol concentration results in mild poisoning (decreased muscular
coordination, changes in feeling, character, behavior), moderatepoisoning (visual impairment, sensory paralysis, delayed reaction
time, speech disorder), and severe toxic symptoms (vomiting,lethargy, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression).
In addition, due to respiratory or circulatory failure, or in caseof absent gag reflex, aspiration of gastric contents may lead todeath. Thus, it was classified into category 3 (respiratory tract
irritation, narcosis).
Causes damage to organs (liver) through prolonged or repeatedexposure
May cause damage to organs (central nervous system) throughprolonged or repeated exposure
Long-term consumption of large doses of alcohol causes toxic
effects in almost all organ systems. The most affected target organ
is the liver; beginning with fatty degeneration, damage canprogress via necrosis and fibrotic stages to liver cirrhosis. Basedon this information, it was classified into category 1 (liver).
There is a report that patients with severe physical dependence
caused by alcohol consumption experience craving and drug-seeking
behavior and hyperreflexia with nausea, weakness, anxiety andsweating, in addition to the elicitation of a withdrawal syndromeof tremors, seizures and delirium. Based on this information, it
was classified into category 2 (central nervous system).
