Acute Oral Toxicity: Low toxicity (LD50 rat oral > 2000 mg/kg)
Acute Dermal Toxicity: Not expected to cause significant skin absorption
Inhalation: May cause mild irritation, symptoms include coughing and dryness
Chronic Exposure: No evidence of carcinogenicity or long-term toxicity in standard studies
Other Effects: Not sensitizing, not mutagenic, not teratogenic in tested animals
Target Organs: No known organ-specific effects from typical exposure
Aquatic Toxicity: Practically non-toxic to fish and algae (LC50 > 100 mg/L), low risk of bioaccumulation
Degradability: Main components degrade slowly, not considered persistent in soil
Mobility in Soil: Low, binds to particulates, not expected to contaminate groundwater
Other Effects: Does not contain halogens, so minimal risk of dioxin formation
Precautions: Avoid uncontrolled release to watercourses, large spills may cause physical fouling
