12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The following summary of expected environmental effect is based
Ecotoxicity
on known data for the principal ingredients and on the physical and
chemical properties of the preparation.
The presence of biocides will result in toxicity to plant and animal
organisms in the aquatic environment. These effects are rapidly
reduced by the effects of dilution, oxidation and
photodecomposition and the product has little or no potential to
persist in a harmful form.
As a result of the above properties, precautions should be taken to
avoid release of the product or working strength solution into the
environment.
No information available.
