2.3 Other hazards

The substance does not fulfill all screening criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity and hence is not considered to be PBT or vPvB.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to REACH Article 57(f) or Commission Delegated regu- lation (EU) 2017/2100 or Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 at levels of 0.1% or higher.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to REACH Article 57(f) or Commission Delegated regulation (EU) 2017/2100 or Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 at levels of 0.1% or higher. Moderately irritating to eyes. Slightly irritating to respiratory system. Liquid evaporates quickly and can ignite leading to a flash fire, or an explosion in a confined space. A component or components of this material may cause cancer. This product contains benzene which may cause leukaemia (AML - acute myelogenous leukae- mia). May cause MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome). Possibility of organ or organ system damage from prolonged exposure; see Section 11 for details. Target organ(s): Blood forming organs Peripheral nervous system This material is a static accumulator. Even with proper grounding and bonding, this material can still accumulate an electrostatic charge. If sufficient charge is allowed to accumulate, electrostatic discharge and ignition of flammable air- vapour mixtures can occur.
