It was classified into Category 3 from 96 hours TLm=19780microg/L of the fish (Fathead Minnows) (MOE Risk Assessment vol. 3, 2004).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified - - - - Since there was rapidly degrading (the decomposition by BOD: 62% (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)) and the bio-accumulation was low (BCF=5.6 (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)), it was claasified into Not classified.
