The evaluation did not find sufficient evidence to <br /> associate cancers of the oropharynx , hypopharynx , lung, lymphatic and hematopoietic systems , stomach , colon <br /> or rectum with exposure to wood dust . <br /> SECTION XII - Ecological Information <br /> (a) Ecotoxicity (aquatic and terrestrial, where available) ; Not available <br /> (b) Persistence and degradability ; <br /> (c) Bioaccumulative potential ; <br /> Environmental fate of wood dust would be expected to be biodegradable . <br /> (d) Mobility in soil ; N/A <br /> (e) Other adverse effects ( such as hazardous to the ozone layer) .
