There is limited data regarding the mobility, degradability and potential for bio concentration in aquatic species for the
ingredients of this product. Evidence suggests that copper does not have significant mobility in soil unless under
acidic conditions. Copper and copper oxides can be highly toxic to aquatic species. Aluminum contamination can be
toxic to aquatic species. Industrial products should not be discharged to sewers or other water sources to prevent the
risks of long term adverse effects and environmental contamination.
