11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute）	Category 2	-	-	H401: Toxic to aquatic life	P273: Avoid release to the environment. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Regarding nitroglycerin (CAS: 55-63-0), its 96-hour LC50 for fish (bluegulls) is 1.38 mg/L (Hazard Data Book for Chemical Substance (CERI), 2002) and it is classified into Category 2. Regarding nitrocellulose (CAS: 9004-70-0), its 96-hour EC50 for algae (Selenastrum) is 579000 microg/L (AQUIRE, 2003) and it is classified into the "Not classified" category. As this compound is composed of 60% nitroglycerin, 15% nitrocellulose, and 25% water, it was classified into Category 2.
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term）	Category 2		-	H411: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects	P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	Regarding nitroglycerin (CAS: 55-63-0), its classification for acute toxicity is Category 2, its potential for bioaccumulation is presumably low (log Kow = 1.62 (PHYSPROP Database, 2005), and it is estimated not to be rapidly degradable (BIOWIN). Based on this information, nitroglycerin was classified into Category 2. Regarding nitrocellulose (CAS: 9004-70-0), it is water soluble (water solubility = 1.00*10^6 mg/L (PHYSPROP Database, 2005) and its acute toxicity is low. Based on this information, nitrocellulose was classified into the "Not classified" category. As this compound is composed of 60% nitroglycerin, 15% nitrocellulose, and 25% water, it was classified into Category 2.
