Statements

H221

Flammable gas

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Dyspnoea, convulsions and cyanosis of the limbs was also observed. Following prolonged exposure, irritation to eyes, nose and throat was observed 2-3 weeks after inhalation exposure. Classification under Regulation Flammable Gas, category 2., H221 EC No. 1272/2008: Pressurised Gas., H280 Acute Toxicity, category 3., H331 Skin Corrosion, category 1B, H314 Aquatic Acute, category 1., H400, M factor = 1 (self-classification) Aquatic Chronic, category 2, H411

Other physicochemical hazards

Flammable Human health: Acutely toxic following inhalation exposure. Causes severe burns and damage to the skin when applied to human skin. Following inhalation exposure at low concentration, coughing, irritation of the respiratory tract, eye irritation and lacrymation, wet noses and nasal discharge occur Inhalation at higher concentration can cause burning of the nose, throat and respiratory tract and bronchiolar and alveolar oedema, dyspnoea, bronchospasm and respiratory distress may also occur. No mutagenic activity is expected. There is no evidence of carcinogenicity following exposure. No adverse reproductive effects are likely to occur following exposure. In a neurotoxicity study conducted on human volunteers investigating developmental toxicity/teratogenicity, no effect on spontaneous abortion was observed
