11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 1


Warning
H400 P273
P391
P501
It was classified in Category 1 from 48-hour EC50 (immobile) = 0.04 mg/L [0.73 mg/L purity: 5.2% (converted value)] for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (OECD SIDS: 2008). The result on a mixture of this substance, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid was used for classification.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 2


-
H411 P273
P391
P501
It was classified in Category 2 due to rapid degradability (readily biodegradable, judged by comparison with degradability of related compounds (J-CHECK, 2012)), and 72-hour NOEC (growth rate) = 0.013 mg/L [0.084 mg/L purity: 15% (converted value)] for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (OECD SIDS: 2008). The result on a mixture of this substance, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid was used for classification.
12 Hazardous to the ozone layer Classification not possible
