Fass environmental information for Pevisone (econazole, triamcinolone acetonide) from Janssen (downloaded 2018-07-12).
Hazard
Persistence: No data.
Bioaccumulation: No data.
Acute toxicity: There are data for 3 trophic levels, lowest for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), ErC50 72 h = 0.17 mg/L.
Risk
PEC/PNEC is based on sales data in Sweden in year 2015. PEC/PNEC = 0.2755 which gives the risk low.
