Notes

Environmental Effects

This chemical quickly biodegrades and there is "minimal environmental exposure" according to the EPA in its 2005 review of the chemical. However, the EPA also notes that there is evidence for benzisothiazolinone being toxic to aquatic life when it is used in oil-recovery fluids. So, clearly some applications for this chemical really shouldn't be allowed.

With a shelf time of one year when stored at room temperature in a dark, air-tight, and moisture-proof place
