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. Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to increased pH-values. A high pH- value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably reduced, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.

Waste treatment methods
Recommendation:
Must not be disposed of together with household garbage. Do not allow product to reach sewage system.
