exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
· Protection of hands:
Protective gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/
the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the
degradation
· Material of gloves
Butyl rubber, BR
Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Natural rubber, NR
Chloroprene rubber, CR
Neoprene gloves
· Penetration time of glove material

12 Ecological information
· Information about elimination (persistence and degradability):
· Other information:
Water soluble phosphates are translocated in the soil over a very short period of time and being
immobilized.
· Behavior in environmental systems:
· Mobility and bioaccumulation potential: Does not accumulate in organisms
· Ecotoxical effects:
· Acquatic toxicity:
LC50/96 h 138 mg/L (Gambusia affinis)
· Additional ecological information:
· General notes:
Water hazard class 1 (Assessment by list): slightly hazardous for water
Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage
system.
Must not reach bodies of water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized.
Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-values. A low
pH-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably increased,
so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
13 Disposal considerations
· Product:
· Recommendation:
Must not be disposed of together with household garbage. Do not allow product to reach sewage system.
Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
Small amounts may be diluted with plenty of water and washed away. Dispose of bigger amounts in
accordance with Local Authority requirements.
