Hazardous to the ozone layer:

Since a potential that relevant toxicity was indicated in thewater solubility (3.322 mg/L (PHYSPROP Database, 2005))of this substance could not be denied from 48-hour
EC50=19 mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia Magna)(MOE ecotoxicity tests of chemicals, 2000)), it was classified into
Category 2.
Classified into Category 2, since acute toxicity was Category
2 and supposed bio-accumulative (log Kow = 4.13
