ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Not classified - - - - Its 72-hour ErC50 was > 0.022 mg/L for algae (Raphidocelis subcapitata), 48-hour EC50 was > 0.51 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna), and 96-hour LC50 was > 0.52 mg/L for fish (Oryzias latipes) (all, limit test (for algae calculated from measurements at the beginning and end of exposure; for crustaceans and fish, measurements at the beginning of exposure), Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2000)). As above, since reliable studies on algae, crustacea, and fish were obtained and no effects were observed at any concentration tested, the acute toxicity of this substance was judged to be low and it was classified as "Not classified."
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 4 - - H413: May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life P273: Avoid release to the environment.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Its acute aquatic toxicity using concentrations up to its water solubility has not been documented. Although its classification for acute toxicity is "Not classified," it is not water soluble (estimated water solubility: 4.313 mg/L (WSKOWWIN). In addition, its rapid degradability has not been reported, its log Kow is > 4 (estimated value: 4.47 (KOWWIN), and its 21-day NOEC = 0.24 mg/L for crustaceans (< 1 mg/L, Test for the Ecological Effect of Chemical Substances (Ministry of the Environment), 2002). All these pieces of information considered, the substance was classified into Category 4.
