12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY: The acidity of this product may be reduced in an aquatic environment readily by natural
water hardness minerals; however the phosphate may persist indefinitely. When spilled onto soil, this product will infiltrate
downward, the rate being greater with lower concentration because of reduced viscosity. During transport through the soil,
phosphoric acid will dissolve some of the soil material, in particular, carbonate-based materials. The acid will be neutralized
to some degree with adsorption of the proton and phosphate ions also possible. However, significant amounts of acid will
remain for transport down toward the groundwater table. Upon reaching the groundwater table, the acid will continue to move
in the direction of groundwater flow. A contaminated plume will be produced with dilution and dispersion serving to reduce
the acid concentration.
EFFECT OF MATERIAL ON PLANTS or ANIMALS: Due to the corrosivity of this solution, this product can be harmful or
fatal to plant and animal life, if this product is released into the environment.
EFFECT OF CHEMICAL ON AQUATIC LIFE: This solution can substantially lower the pH of an aquatic environment and
can be extremely toxic to fish and aquatic plants. Additional aquatic toxicity data are available for the Phosphoric Acid
component, as follows:
TLm (mosquito fish) 24-96 hours = 138 mg/L in turbid water at 22-24 deg C.
