Acute Aquatic Toxicity

A single exposure in a day may result in severe biological harm or death to fish or other aquatic organisms.

GHS Definition (6th edition):

[HAZARDOUS TO THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT / SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) AQUATIC HAZARD] Acute aquatic toxicity means the intrinsic property of a substance to be injurious to an organism in a short-term aquatic exposure to that substance.
