11. - Toxicological Information.
From long-term experience of this type of product, no serious acute or chronic effects result from handling Wudcare PVA Adhesive under industrial conditions.
12. - Ecological Information.
Wudcare PVA Adhesive is miscible in water, and is thus likely to be transported considerable distances if allowed to ingress to water The polymer is poorly biodegradable, but is not susceptible to bio-accumulation. The biological oxygen of other components may be harmful to aquatic organisms Low concentrations of Wudcare PVA Adhesive in water for sewage treatment are unlikely to reduce sludge activity; the polymer is largely absorbed on the sludge, and thus eliminated from the waste stream.
13. - Disposal Considerations.
Dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations. For example, in the UK regulations made under the Control of Pollution Act 1974, and the Environment Protection Act 1990.
