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.
Working Strength Solution: The high pH and the developing agent
content will result in increased alkalinity and 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. The solution has a low biological oxygen
demand.
Part A
This material is alkaline and this property may cause adverse
environmental effects.
Part B
No information available.
Part C
This material is acidic and contains material that is harmful to plant
and animal life. May cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment.
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.

Surplus product or working strength solution: Do not dispose of
either concentrate or working strength solution into drains, sewers
or waterways or on to soil.
Plastic containers: Rinse thoroughly with water and dispose as
solid waste to land fill or recycle where possible.
