Description of key information
Benzene causes adverse effects on the haematopoietic system of animals and in humans. This resulted in a harmonised classification as repaeted dose toxicant (STOT RE1).
Studies on CS2 have revealed adverse effects on the hematological system and neuropathological effects. This also resulted in a harmonised classification as repaeted dose toxicant (STOT RE1).

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Benzene causes adverse effects on the haematopoietic system of animals and in humans. This resulted in a harmonised classification as repaeted dose toxicant (STOT RE1).
Studies on CS2 have revealed adverse effects on the hematological system and neuropathological effects. This also resulted in a harmonised classification as repaeted dose toxicant (STOT RE1).
Based on a significant content of both substances in benzol forerunnings (coal) they both have to be classified as STOT RE1: "Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure."
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
