FOR ERA'S ACUTE AQUATIC TOXICITY GUIDE, CLICK HERE
While the GHS and CLP group all types of toxic effects on aquatic ecosystems under a single Aquatic Toxicity hazard class, ERA has decided to separate them into two individual eBooks for ease of classification. The second of the two, this guide covers the tiered approach and four classification criteria for substances and mixtures that produce toxic effects in aquatic organism in the long-term after exposure.
Read it in place of the GHS Purple Book or the Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria for a comprehensive breakdown of everything there is to know about long-term, chronic aquatic toxicity classification.
This free guide will teach you:
- The definitions and classification principles for chronic aquatic toxicity, bioaccumulation, and rapid degradability
- The four classification categories for substances and mixtures
- How to classify mixtures when there is data on the mixture as a whole, on substantially similar mixtures, on some or all components, and on mixtures containing ingredients without adequate aquatic toxicity data
- The symbols, signal words, and hazard and precautionary statements that you should include on a label
