- vPvB: Not applicable.
12.6 Endocrine disrupting properties
See section 11 for information on endocrine disrupting properties.
12.7 Other adverse effects
Discharge of larger quantities into drains or watercourses can lead to a decrease in pH. A low pH value is harmful to aquatic organisms. At the concentrations normally used, the product significantly raises the pH value. This means that water entering the drainage system after product use has only a weak aquatic toxic effect.
