Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage
system.
Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-values. A
low pH-value harms aquatic organisms. If the dilution of the use-level pH-value is considerably increased
after use, the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
