Ecological information Ecotoxicity (the information below refers to the product MITRON SC) Toxicity for fish and water fauna: LC 50 zebrafish: EC 50 = > 100 mg/l LC 50 Daphnia: EC 50 = 64.1 mg/l LC 50 algae: E r C 50 = 5.51 mg/l Persistence en degradation The product is not resistant against UV light (degradation in the soil DT 50 <100 days) Possible bioaccumulation Soil absorption Organic C in the soil K K oc 0.70% % % Instructions for disposal The empty packaging needs to be rinsed with water by means of a manual system (three successive times shaking with water) or by means of a cleaning system with water under pressure, placed on the spraying tank. The wash water needs to be poured in the spraying thank. The rinsed packaging must be brought to a specific collector. Remainders of spraying solution ought to be diluted 10 times and sprayed over the treated plot according to the descriptions of use. Do not pollute ponds, watercourses and canals with the product or the empty packaging. Never reuse the empty packaging for other materials. To avoid spraying solutions after treatments, calculate how much liquid is needed on the basis of the area that need to be treated and the amount of water needed for each hectare. Product and packaging must be removed according the local legislation. ADR classification : 14.
