2.3 Other hazards
The product is easily flammable compressed or refrigerated liquefied gas. Liquefied product vaporizes quickly and may cause frostbites. Leaked gas spreads to long distances and creates explosive mixtures with air; after the product initiation it may cause fire or explosion even far from the leak source. Ethylene displaces oxygen in the air and may cause suffocation. Produkt does not meet the criteria for PBT (P-persistent, B-bioaccumulative, T-toxic) or vPvB (vP-very persistent, vB-very bioaccumulative) substances. Product assessments for PBT / vPvB criteria see Subsection
Results of PBT and vPvB assessment
The substance is not included in the candidate list pursuant to Article 59 (Paragraph 1) of the REACH Directive (SVHC substances). Based on the available information, the product is not identified as a PMT substance (P-persistent, M-mobile, T-toxic) or as a vPvM substance (vP-very persistent, vM-very mobile).
