Environmental Hazard
Used for communicating the following hazards:
- Aquatic Toxicity
Classification Criteria
This hazard category is not mandatory, and labeling is not required. Those who wish to label for aquatic toxicity can specify either "Acute" or "Chronic" hazard levels.
Acute: This category has 3 sub-categories (levels 1, 2, and 3) each specifying harm to fish, crustacea, and algea or other aquatic plant life.
Chronic: This catgeory is for hazardous chemicals that are "not readily degradable." Levels 1, 2, and 3 match up with the Acute hazards for classification; level 4 is added for items that are not degradable but have no acute hazard.
