12. Ecological information General notes: Water hazard class 1 (German Regulation) (Self-assessment): slightly hazardous for water. Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system. Must not reach sewage water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized. Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to increased ph-values. A high phvalue 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. 13. Disposal Considerations Product: Recommendation Must not be disposed of together with household garbage. Do not allow product to reach sewage system. Uncleaned packagings: Recommendation: Disposal must be made according to official regulations. Recommended cleansing agent: Water, if necessary with cleansing agents. 14.
