The available rat reproductive toxicity studies and rat/rabbit teratogenicity studies provide slight evidence of reduced pup viability and visceral/skeletal anomalies at doses inducing reduced body weight gains in parental animals (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data (1990)). Since it cannot be clearly demonstrated that the findings of pup effects are secondary to parental toxicity, the substance is classified into Category 2.

It was classified into Category 1 from 48 hours EC50=0.29mg/L of the crustacea (Daphnia magna) (Agricultural Chemical Registration Data, 2004).
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 ...
Although acute toxicity is Category 1 and bio-accumulation is low (log Kow=2.8(PHYSPROP Database, 2005)), since there was no rapidly degrading (BIOWIN), it was classified into Category 1.
