GHS09 (Environment) |
| Signal Word | Danger |
| Cut-offs | Classification for acute inhalation toxicity applies in situations where dusts and mists are formed. Dusts and mists generally have sizes ranging from less than 1 to 100 µm. Mixtures and products containing the chemicals at concentration of <1% would not need classification although this would be dependent on other ingredients in the formulation. |
