ENVIRONMENT |
---|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous to the environment. Special attention should be given to birds. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur along the food chain, for example in milk and aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal. |
NOTES |
