Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes eye irritation, tearing, redness, and discomfort
Respiratory Sensitization: Dust or vapor inhalation may cause mild respiratory irritation; no evidence of sensitization in standard tests
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: No known carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reproductive effects under normal use, not listed as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Long-Term Effects: Repeated exposure could lead to skin dryness, dermatitis, or reversible inflammation
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms in concentrated solution, may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environment
Mobility in Soil: Moderately mobile due to water solubility, may leach into groundwater under improper disposal
Persistence and Degradability: Not easily biodegradable, persistence in environment possible
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low bioaccumulation expected due to moderate solubility and molecular structure
Other Hazards: Harmful if large quantities released to natural water systems, disrupts aquatic microbial communities
