Ecotoxicity
A: General Product Information
Because of the high pH of this product, it would be expected to produce significant ecotoxicity upon exposure to
aquatic organisms and aquatic systems.
Ecotoxicity data provided by product manufacturer:
Zinc Chloride:
Acute hazard level threshold: Fish- 0.1ppm (Zn)
Odorless zinc poisoning causes inflamed gills in fish
Laboratory studies on Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, carp and goldfish have shown avoidance reactions by these
fish to zinc in water.
Water solubility: 432 g/ 100 mL (25癈), 614 g/ 100 mL (100癈). Zinc can persist indefinitely as a caution.
Radioactive zinc (65 Zn) has
been found to concentrate in plants, milk, and aquatic life.
Acute Hazard Level Threshold: For vegetables and other crops - 750 ppm (Zn).
Potassium Chloride:
Water solubility = 34.2g/ 100 mL (20 C), 1 g/ 2.8 mL, 1 g/1.8 mL (boiling).
