Fact: EnviroTru Meets EPA Requirements for Toxicity Category IV

The EPA rates the toxicity level of disinfectants on a scale of I–IV, with Toxicity Category IV being the least toxic. This rating is based on studies submitted to the EPA which examine a product’s toxicity as it relates to acute oral, acute dermal, acute inhalation and primary eye irritation. Based on these studies, a product is also assigned a “signal word”. The signal words and associated toxicity categories are as follows:
Toxicity Category
Signal Word
Toxicity Category 1
DANGER
Toxicity Category II
WARNING
Toxicity Category III
CAUTION
Toxicity Category IV
NONE REQUIRED¹


¹All Products are required to contain the statement: KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
EnviroTru® Disinfectant & Deodorizing Cleaner is a unique product that meets EPA requirements for Toxicity Category IV. The safety characteristics are a positive selling feature of EnviroTru and should be highlighted in your sales presentation along with the non-corrosion and materials compatibility feature discussed in last month’s newsletter.
