Environmental hazards

Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Ecological hazard categories are not mandatory under WHS Regulations. They may be used as supplemental information to a substance or mixture that has been classified on the basis of its health effects or physiochemical properties. Where the classification of a substance or mixture is solely due to its hazard to the aquatic environment, whether acute or chronic, under WHS it is not considered as hazardous. However, the transport classification according to the ADG code and international regulations is required. Environmental classification may be mandatory in other countries.
