FIRETROLO GTS-R <br /> April, 1992 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> 2. For Liquid After Dilution Materials to Avold• Magnesium and zinc due to <br /> unacceptable corrosion rates. Acceptable container materials with <br /> respect to corrosion: 2024 T3 aluminum, mild steel, and yellow brass. <br /> G. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION <br /> 1. Environmental Impact. Acute toxicity of FIRE-TROLO GTS-R to Juvenile <br /> Rainbow Trout- LC50 value at 96 hours, estimated 1000 mg/liter. Avoid <br /> lakes and streams in applying FIRE-TROLO GTS-R. <br /> Fire retardant chemicals applied near streams have been shown to have <br /> virtually no impact on them. This Is partly because there is a minimum of <br /> migration of chemicals from areas as close as three meters from the edge <br /> of a stream (Norris et al, "The Behavior and Impact of Chemical Fire <br /> Retardant in Forest Streams," Forestry Sciences Laboratory, USDA Forest <br /> Service Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, October 20, <br /> 1978). <br /> Use and disposal employing proper environmental controls should not <br /> cause significant environmental impact. <br /> 2. Precautions_ If Material is Accidentally Released or Spilled. Contain and <br /> pick up spilled material as soon as possible to minimize environmental <br /> contamination. <br /> 3. Waste DRposai Methods. Sweep up and maximize recovery. Flush residue <br /> with water In accordance with applicable federal, state and local <br /> environmental regulatory requirements. <br /> H. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. None. <br />
