Acute Toxicity : Poorly soluble mixture. May cause physical fouling of aquatic
organisms. Expected to be practically non toxic: LL/EL/IL50 >
100 mg/l (to aquatic organisms) LL/EL50 expressed as the
nominal amount of product required to prepare aqueous test
extract. Mineral oil is not expected to cause any chronic effects
to aquatic organisms at concentrations less than 1 mg/l.
Microorganisms : Data not available
Mobility : Liquid under most environmental conditions. If it enters soil, it
will adsorb to soil particles and will not be mobile. Floats on
water.
Persistence/degradability : Expected to be not readily biodegradable. Major constituents
are expected to be inherently biodegradable, but the product
contains components that may persist in the environment.
Bioaccumulation : Contains components with the potential to bioaccumulate.
Other Adverse Effects : Product is a mixture of non-volatile components, which are not
expected to be released to air in any significant quantities. Not
expected to have ozone depletion potential, photochemical
ozone creation potential or global warming potential.
