Criteria Description Fish Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to fish (both saltwater and freshwater) Daphnia Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to Daphnia (invertebrate aquatic organisms) Algae Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to aquatic plants Persistence / Biodegradation Rate of degradation for a substance in the environment (air, soil, or water) Bioaccumulation Potential for a substance to accumulate in fatty tissue and magnify up the food chain Climatic relevance Measure of the
impact a substance has
on the climate (e.g., ozone depletion,
global warming, etc.) Other Any
additional characteristic (e.g., soil organism toxicity, WGK water classification, etc.) relevant to the overall evaluation but not included in the previous criteria 1.3.3 Material Class Criteria The following material classes are flagged due to the concern that at some point in their life cycle they may have negative
impacts on human and environmental health.
