Reducing Aquatic and Human toxicity

Minimise toxicity to human
Some of the best selling traditional AND ecological disinfectants and cleaners use materials with these warnings on them. The BioHygiene range uses raw materials that avoid these issues, therefore:

Minimise toxicity to aquatic life
Short and long term effects on fish, crustaceans and algae are assessed between 48 and 96 hours by LC50 (concentration for 50% of species die over that period) and EC50 (concentration for a 50% reduction in growth or growth rate).
Long term studies are carried out over 21-28 days and are expressed as NOEC (No observable effect concentration). Many of the best selling traditional AND ecological disinfectants and cleaners use materials where as little as 1-2mg/L will kill these species over that time frame. The BioHygiene range uses raw materials that avoid these issues, therefore:
