11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Category 1 | Warning | H400: Very toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 1 from 48-hour LC50=0.73mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (SIDS, 2003). | |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Category 1 | Warning | H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Classified into Category 1, since acute toxicity was Category 1, not rapidly degrading (BOD: 0% (existing chemical safety inspections data)), though supposed less bioaccumulative (log Kow=1.4(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)). |
