The product does not contain substances with endocrine disrupting properties.
· 12.7 Other adverse effects
· Remark:
Does not cause biological oxygen deficit.
Harmful effect due to pH shift.
· Additional ecological information:
· General notes:
Do not allow product to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
Water hazard class 1 (German Regulation) (Self-assessment): slightly hazardous for water
Must not reach sewage water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralised.
Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-values. A
low pH-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably
increased, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-
dangerous.
