Sensitization: Skin sensitizing effects were not observed in animal studies. Chronic toxicity:

Teratogenic Effects

No indications of a developmental toxic / teratogenic effect were seen in animal studies Genotoxicity: No mutagenic effect was found in various tests with bacteria and mammalian cell culture. The substance was not mutagenic in studies with mammals. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: No significant symptoms are expected due to the non-classification of the product.

Environmental effects

Aquatic toxicity: There is a high probability that the product is not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms. The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced to biological treatment plants in appropriate low concentrations.
